Reptiles

by Michael Cole

After a successful rescue mission, Raptor Pack discovers clues to another illicit scientific operation by the mysterious corporation Brom-Caylen. Following the horrific events inside the Half-Moon Trench, Thomas Rodney vows to get proof of the company’s experimentation with the Ecclesiastes particles.

The investigation takes them to a remote island in the West Pacific Ocean. There, they find two high-tech facilities in a state of ruin. Not a single human being is in sight. All that remain are secrets—secrets that the company will kill to keep.

The worst of those secrets arrives in the form of a small army of quadrupedal reptiles, hungry for flesh. As if those weren’t already bad enough for G.O.R.E. Sector, the team finds itself faced with a titanic threat. The trees bend and thunderous footsteps shake the earth, preceding the arrival of a beast of epic proportions. Once a small, average reptile, it is now an apex predator with an endless desire to kill.

With things going from bad to worse, the members of Raptor Pack find themselves in a fight for their lives.

Mutant dinosaurs? I'm in

Another great entry, despite a fairly rushed ending. The company that was introduced in the previous novel pops up again, this time experimenting on lizards that turn into giant dinosaurs. Thomas gets a chance to show why he is the leader and that he isn't just some random Deputy from the middle of nowhere. He's a highly trained soldier and shouldn't be underestimated.

Captain Thomas Rodney was picked to be the leader of G.O.R.E. for a reason. after his team was captured and he was able to get away. He has to face giant apex predators that were once lizards. And agents that are working for a mysterious corporation, Brom-Caylen company. He goes full Rambo and Dutch from Predator to help his team and kill the apex predators.

Raptor Pack are back on the hunt for mutated animals, this time they are headed to an island where the mutated animals have been designed by man and have run amok. Good story that moves at a nice pace, that tests the squad to its limits and this time not just the animals.

Unimaginable Beings

The GORE series is very entertaining. The characters are full of wild survival and fun. They do a great job of protecting humanity from evil people and wicked monsters.

I may or may not read some of the previous novels in this series, but Reptiles Book 5 was a great icky bug. It had non-stop action, a very high body count, yet ended with a satisfying kick. I loved it. Highly recommended.

Another Winner

This series is amazing. Each new mission gets better and better. This was monsters with mercenaries. GORE sector rocks. There is lots of action and good old-fashioned war tactics. Well done.

Good book!!!

Great character development and non stop action. One thing I really liked is, there weren't so many characters that it was hard to follow who was who. I enjoyed the plot and the easy to follow story line. Highly recommended!!!

Reptiles by Michael Cole

The more G.O.R.E. Sector books I read, the better I like them!
Now the Raptor Pack has to deal with deliberate mutations. Dinosaur-like, they cause a lot of damage and are hard to kill. But Raptor Pack surges back.
An engrossing read, highly recommended!
