The Objective

Rate this book
They knew the mission. They knew the target.

A team of elite soldiers is deployed deep into the jungles of Peru to recover a classified experiment—one they understand all too well. They’ve studied its behaviour. Its capabilities. Its limits.

Or so they think.

When something far more dangerous reveals itself in the shadows, the mission begins to unravel. And when a terrorist force emerges with plans of their own, the jungle becomes a battlefield with no clear enemy.

As loyalties fracture and the line between duty and survival blurs, the objective is no longer so simple.

Because in the jungle… something else is watching.

And it’s no longer clear who—or what—is the real threat to mankind.

A fun little romp with Mr. Gatto’s signature flare of pop culture references throughout. I had a great time reading this one and found that the characters were enjoyable and the monsters a lot of fun.

Pros:
+ great monster
+ gnarly kills
+ lots of pop culture references

Cons:
- I imagine we’ll get a little more detail in the monster/ship/history in the sequel.

Overall a good time.

The 1st chapter of this book is no freaking joke. It's super high-octane, high-speed action from page 1 to The End. The creature is nuts! It has this weird type of technology that's like high tech bushcraft mixed with- I don't know alien druid magic?! Part Predator, part unhinged Saturday morning cartoon from the late 80s if cartoons like The Inhumanoids were R rated. This is easier to imagine than you think that was the same era that brought us Toxic Crusaders. A Saturday morning cartoon based off a Troma movie, but I digress.
