Speak The Devil's Name by Brandon Kelley, is one of the hardest hitting, gritty, and emotionally charged thrillers that I have read in a while. Deep story line, strong plot, exceptional character development and explosive action sequences make this book very hard to put down. While being a military thriller that is top notch, the underlying message of brotherhood, redemption, and human rights are so well written and incorporated into the story that it hits you like a ton of lead. I am eagerly awaiting the follow up to this outstanding novel. Thank you Brandon, for your service and for sending me the copy of your book.
From the authors website:
When a top-secret Joint Special Operations Command reconnaissance mission goes sideways deep in Afghanistan's unforgiving Hindu Kush, Nick Mandias is suddenly thrust into a deadly game of survival against a formidable foe he did not expect as a rogue CIA paramilitary officer, fueled by a desperate need for redemption, launches an unsanctioned covert operation behind enemy lines that exposes an unthinkable horror.
Half a world away, in the sweltering shadows of Southeast Asia, a young CIA case officer is pulled into the most critical assignment of his career. As he comes face-to-face with the US Government’s deepest penetration of the People’s Republic of China, he must navigate a dangerous web of loyalty, sacrifice, and high-stakes espionage.
