So now Jake must assemble a team of people he can trust from his past to find and free these captured medical professionals. Meanwhile, Jake’s girlfriend, Alexandra, has been called back to work for German intelligence in Berlin, where she has been tasked to infiltrate a group of neo-Nazis bent on German purity during increasing nationalist protests. Jake’s mission brings him from the Iberian Peninsula to the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, where he must fight forces of a spreading Caliphate.

This was an interesting story and I like the main character of Jake. I didn't realize this was #11 in a series -- it's the only one I've read, but I didn't feel too out of depth with it. There was enough explaination I was able to follow everything without a problem. I did sense there was some backstory there, but I had no idea there were 10 back stories. The crux of this story was the hope of rescuing a number of doctors and nurses in a Christian organization that had been kidnapped by terrorists. I thought there might be more Christian elements in the story, but there was very little. However, it was a good adventure with some good characters.

Exciting Read

Excellent character development. Main character was maybe 110% of what he needed to be for me to actually like him. But that's just me. I shall read more from this author.

An Uplifting Tale!

From Your Lips to God's ears. We definitely need to take a strong approach to these Islamic terrorists. This is another crusade....

Anna had extensive training before joining the Christian Relief program, having traveled to almost every continent. Security officer seemed offed as he checked her badge upon coming aboard. Dining with Morgana when men with automatic weapon came in. Jake is approached by the general and the priest at his home in Italy. A ship left the Canary Islands port two days ago and was still missing until this morning. With five doctors and ten nurses missing , with one being an American nurse. No one is initially involved, so no one is taking any initiative to find them. Jake reply “a general a priest and a billionaire walk into a bar” exactly what you want me to do.
New author, and I throughly enjoyed it.A sense of humor, the plot was laid out well, and the little hint at the beginning, to intrigue us to read more. I like Jake, he has almost a casual approach..Will look for more by author.

International Espionage Thriller

Jake Adams and the small team of extraordinary individuals, a priest, English retired military man who drinks a little to much, a Frenchman spy who is suspended from his job, a gorgeous Israeli female who works for different agencies around the world and one billionaire who will stop at nothing to rid the world of jihadist groups through out Europe. This makes for a novel you can't put down. Quite exciting.

Counter caliphate

Typical Jake Adams thriller with action throughout but with a happy ending this time. Good thoughts on some of the social issues of our day and offered a solution that is needed for the situation we find ourselves in as well. A shame Jake can't help us solve our problem.

Good Read

You have to love Jake Adams, the guy is a stud. I also love Carlos Gomez's attitude and what he believes in. I only wish our politicians would wake up and take it to these terrorists.

Plot thickens

All plot. Imagining the future where radical islamists emerge as an organized threat. Not terribly well written, simple characters, shadowy organizations and rule breakers, but lots of action and the good guys win.

Best Jake Adms yet

I really enjoyed this book. A little over the top in some ways but closer to reality in many ways than I care to think. The real war between the Muslims and the rest of the world has already started and most don't realize it.

Counter Caliphate

Absolutely outstanding. Just what I was hoping for from Mr. Scott. Jake Adams is my kind of action hero.
I can hardly to start his next adventure.

Good read

Good and interesting characters. First book I've read by this author and will surely read more by him. Would recommend for all.

Fast moving

Great pace and action. Timely plot that is extremely thought provoking. Makes you wish authors could set national policy. A very good read.

[Eric Crown · Rating 2 out of 5]

Plotless

Just a rambling plotless action book which actually had very little action. Also this weird Muslim /Christian bent, strange. A

Good storyline

I enjoyed the books plot and pace but the characters weren't compelling. It didn't leave eager for a follow up story.
