Delta Force #3
Full Assault Mode
Length: 12 hrs and 27 mins
When SEAL Team Six killed Osama bin Laden, they pulled a treasure trove of intelligence on planned attacks on U.S. soil. Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's new leader, is activating his most trusted (and deadliest) terrorists to carry out his newest plot: to detonate a bomb inside one of the sixty-four commercial nuclear power plants in the U.S. in an attack ten times worse than 9/11, causing radiological fallout that would kill hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans.

About the author
Dalton Fury
10 books393 followersThomas Greer, the former special operations commander who wrote a series of books under the pen name "Dalton Fury" and exposed the American public firsthand to the modern exploits of the military's most secretive units, died October 21, 2016 from cancer.
Starting as an enlisted soldier and instructor in the elite Army Rangers in the mid-1980s before becoming an officer, Greer later joining U.S. Army Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta, more commonly known as "Delta Force," the Army's version of SEAL Team Six. He published "Kill Bin Laden" in 2008, recounting his participation in the unsuccessful 2001 mission to capture elusive terrorist leader Osama bin Laden when he was holed up in the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan. He went on to write a series of other books, including a fictionalized account of special forces operations.
Greer, 52, was perhaps the first in what has become a long series of shadowy warriors-turned-authors who traded their rifles for pens to meet the public's growing enthusiasm for details on the government's most classified missions. Civilian leaders and military planners increasingly rely on these elite commandos to accomplish secret missions in modern war zones, creating tension between those willing to tell the story and others who choose to uphold their pledge to secrecy.
"Every one of us was dubbed persona non grata by our former organization," Greer told U.S. News in 2015. "To some, that doesn't mean squat. To others, it can be pretty painful as you lose a lot of close friends."
He spoke shortly after Matt Bissonnette, one of the SEALs who contributed to the 2011 mission that killed bin Laden, came under formal Pentagon inquiry for writing his own book, "No Easy Day," as did Robert O'Neill, another of the SEALs on that mission, who revealed himself on Fox News and claimed he fired the shot that killed the al-Qaida leader.
Their actions prompted top SEAL leaders to write a letter to those within their ranks, admonishing those who break from what they described as the "critical tenet of our ethos," to not advertise the nature of their work or seek recognition for it.
"We do not abide willful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety or financial gain," Navy Rear Adm. Brian Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci wrote at the time.
Both Bissonnette and O'Neill claimed they chose to tell their stories for the sake of the American public.
"It was UBL, the biggest target of our generation," Greer explained at the time, using the military's prefered acronym for bin Laden, and referencing the fact that the White House confirmed reports the SEAL unit had conducted the assault. "Once the gates were opened by the Obama administration, I believe both Biss and Rob decided to make their claim to history while it was still marketable."
The greatest source of criticism for the former commandos centered on their decision not to seek approval through established channels at the Department of Defense for discussing classified information. Greer submitted copies of his proposed books for review, as most others like him do, and any information the Pentagon deemed sensitive was either changed or stricken.
Others who knew Greer say he was at least in part inspired to write his own book by a perceived barrier between the general public and the less than 1 percent of them who fought the seemingly never-ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It brings a lot of pride to the American people, especially in times that are needed," says Jim Reese, founder of security consulting firm TigerSwan who served with Greer in both the Rangers and Delta as a fellow officer. "You've got this organization that is in the shadows, and part of it should be. But this is the New York Yankees. What Tom was able to do with both his books and his fiction books was to bring the reality to Middle America, to let Americans be proud of this small element of Americans.

What the hell happened to Dalton Fury???
I read his first novel, Black Site, and loved it. It was one of the best novels I read that year. As soon as I finished, I couldn't wait for the next one. The second novel, Tier One Wild, I think was a step-back. I enjoyed it but not as much as Black Site. Whereas Fury's first novel was non-stop action and edge of your seat thrills, his second novel I found to be a bit draggy. The first 80 pages were good. The last 80 pages were good. The middle part dragged.
Still, I couldn't want to get all comfy in my favorite chair and start Full Assault Mode. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a book. I'm not even sure where to begin so if I skip around, I apologize. Then again, a review that skips around makes sense since Full Assault Mode skips around.
Colt Raynor: He's a rebel. He's reckless. He doesn't go by the book. He's a risk taker who always is on the edge of insubordination. He hates bureaucracy and following orders. He's Mitch Rapp, Scot Harvath and John McClane all rolled into one. Then explain to me how he can be so reckless and wild and free-thinking in the field. Yet, always shows the utmost respect to his commanding officers.
Is Colt Raynor gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that but...here goes. Colt Raynor is a guy. I, too, am a guy. I know I'll sound like a `male pig' but GUYS notice WOMEN. Plain and simple. No matter what we are doing, if an attractive girl is around, you bet we'll notice her. We can be in the middle of a work out but if a good looking girl gets on the Stairmaster in front of us, we'll definitely notice. If we are walking our dog, bending over to scoop his poop and a girl in short-shorts walks by, yes, we'll notice. Okay, we're guys and yes, ladies, we're pigs. However, Colt Raynor never notices women. I understand he bleeds red, white and blue. He loves his country. He's a patriot. But he never notices a woman. True. There was only one woman in this book (Cindy Bird) but Raynor never notices what she's wearing, her hair, her eyes, her lips, her perfume. Guys notice that. The dialogue with Cindy also seems strained, forced and not natural. However, when Colt is BS-ing with his macho male buddies form delta Force, he has no problem communicating with them.
What's up with Dalton Fury's excessive use of "Yes" and "No." It seemed like every few pages, he threw in something along these lines: Yes, Colt was angry. No, he wouldn't hold back. Yes, Abdul was ready to sacrifice himself to Allah. No, he'd have no regrets. Yes, Colt was running out of time. No, he wouldn't rush the mission. Yes, it was hot. No, it was not too hot. Yes, it was raining. No, it was not pouring. You get the idea.
The govt learns that terrorists are likely to attack a nuclear power plant. Uh oh, serious stuff. Maybe, just maybe, they can put together a team--get the CIA, FBI ready. Use our military to protect nuclear power plants. But nope, they leave the entire safety and security of America in the hands of ONE man.
Colt is EVERYWHERE. I've never seen one protagonist travel so much. He must accrue plenty of air miles. He's in Pakistan. Then he's in DC. Now he's back in Afghanistan. Now he's at Fort Bragg. Now Virginia. Now South Carolina. And yet, he never suffers jet lag.
Mr. Fury, in this novel, seems to have an addiction to brand names. Over and over and over he'll overwhelm us with unnecessary facts. There are numerous examples but here is one from page 217:
***Carlos nervously checked the gold cuff links on his Rolex-wrapped wrist and then straightened his plum-colored half Windsor before buttoning the top button on his Armani pinstripe, which had to have taken, easy, forty thousand silkworms to make***
This was one example. There were plenty more.
The plot itself was not only not at all believable but rather confusing 2/3 of the way through. SPOILER: Terrorists are planning to use an `insider,' a disgruntled American who works at a power plant, to help them carry out their attack. They spend several months communicating with him from the Middle East. However, they don't vet him. They never bother finding out what he looks like. Therefore, when Raynor `assumes' the identity of this individual, the terrorists are clueless that it's a different person. This would NEVER happen. Also, Raynor (in the role of Timothy, the power plant employee) meets with Cindy for lunch. The terrorists are following him (how a guy with Raynor's background is unaware he is being followed is beyond me but okay). The terrorists see Raynor/Timothy with a woman. They assume she is his wife, are surprised to learn he is married and then, for some reason, decide to kidnap her to make sure Raynor/Timothy follows through. Totally unbelievable yet again. Cindy apparently gets killed. Yet, Raynor seems to have no guilt about it. ***End spoiler***
In one other scene, Raynor is having a conversation with the terrorists. The terrorists refer to the date of the attack (I don't recall the exact date) but they say, "Twenty April." WRONG. Only American military would refer to a date in that way.
Another huge drawback to his novel is the overabundance of acronyms. I've never served in the military. But I have read many books that feature a military theme or storyline. My 2 favorite writers are Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. However, my lack of military service left me at a huge disadvantage. Yes, I know what basic acronyms stand for--NSA, JSOC, KIA, POTUS, SECDEF. However, there were so many others that were used and not explained, I was left in the dark.
I never ever imagined I'd be rating a Dalton Fury book one star. But I have to. This story was so poorly written, the plot so unbelievable, the storyline so unbelievable and the jumps from one scene to another along with a storyline that kept skipping around so much it was hard to follow, I was unable to even finish this book. I got to page 240 of about 330 and simply couldn't take it anymore. Only one other time had I read that many pages of a novel and not completed it.
Will I read the next Dalton Fury novel? I highly doubt it.

Here we are again with Major Kolt Raynor the maverick operator of the Delta Force.
Now, this is a digression, but I do wonder why the protagonists are always, "mavericks". I mean while the ability to think on your feet and fo0r yourself are prerequisites for spec. ops. operators, I've never really known one who was quite as rebellious as Kolt...
Anyway, another good action read running down a key terrorist figure. Kolt here is (again) in trouble with Delta and about to be forced into schooling that will possibly/probably end his field service...
He gets loaned out to another covert program (no more lest I give a spoiler). This (the third novel in the Delta Force series) is in some ways more "cloak and dagger" then the others but you still get a nice dollop of action.
Enjoy.

Kolt Raynor takes care of a matter in the middle east and his superior officer does not like it and moves him from the unit. He goes to work for an independent contractor searching for a terrorist that is planning to hit a sight in the U.S.
Outstanding work by Mr. Fury. This is a relatively new series and each of the books have been as exciting as they come. Cannot wait for the next installment.

The first 50% of the book was great. Then after that it went a very different way that caused me concern. BTW, loved the "Author's Note" at the beginning of the book. FIrst time I read a Note that resembles a prologue but has a bit of comments from the author.

After the leading pair of novels I was very excited for the next one. But, within a few pages, it became apparent that the usual energy and snappy dialogue wasn't there. While I enjoy the small details in books, this time it felt overdone. After it has already been mentioned three times I don't need to be frequently reminded that Crye Precision made the Kolt's knee pads. I get it, operators love their Cryes and other kit, but at a certain point the story becomes catalog for H&K and Opscore. It made the book feel long on details and short on everything else. The characters all just stiff, without any well written bits to make them seem real; and that should have been a no-brainer given the previous books. Every time a character started talking I gritted my teeth at how dumb they sounded, like in a bad action movie. The plot itself was decent, but more time should have been taken to polish the many rough spots and really bring the story to life.

Book Review - Dalton Fury’s Kolt Raynor series is terrific and way under promoted. Fury knew exactly what he was writing about and was very good at keeping one interested. I read lots of military/spec ops books and this is right up there with similar themed books like Mitch Rapp, Jericho Quinn, Scot Harvath and so forth. Well worth the read or listen to on audiobook. Start at the first book (Black Site) and move along from there. RIP Dalton Fury (Tom Greer)

Thomas Greer was a United States' military hero who led a raid on Tora Bora early in the Afghan War. His bestselling nonfiction book based on that action is called KILL BIN LADEN. He also wrote a fictional multibook series "Delta Force". Unfortunately, he died in 2016 way too early but his writing legacy lives on. FULL ASSAULT MODE is book 3 featuring Major Kolt Raynor who is a maverick operative in Delta Force, the U.S. Army elite Special Forces organization. I have read the first two books as well: BLACK SITE and TIER ONE WILD.
Major Kolt Raynor was told in the previous book that he had been chosen for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel but he would have to spend the better part of a year in school to earn the promotion. That did not sit well with him so he quit Delta Force. But on submitting his retirement papers, he is offered another opportunity to serve his country. Join an ultra secret organization called Tungsten based in Atlanta. It directly serves under the President of the United States as nonmilitary entity but made up of ex-military Special Forces operatives.
His first assignment is to go undercover to infiltrate a terrorist group planning on mayhem that will exceed the horror of September 11, 2001 (9/11). His journey takes him to the states of South Carolina and Tennessee, Guantanamo Bay prison (as an inmate not a visitor), Afghanistan and more. He is beaten, shot and left for dead but still saves the world.
If you like nonstop, adrenaline producing, military action thrillers, then these books are for you.

Loved the first two in the series, but this third was rather ridiculous.
A few "hard to believe" storylines: The terrorists were so lame as to not have a picture of Timothy (the pseudo-traitor), to confirm his identity? Of course, this made it easier for the author to "plant" Kolt as Timothy. And his new boss sent him on a mission to protect/secure nuclear facilities. But the new boss never thought a crash course in how a typical nuclear facility functioned would help Kolt?! No, he had to "conveniently" get that info from Hawk, scribbled on a restaurant napkin! The author just had to bring Hawk into the picture! And, the terrorists give Kolt a phone, which he takes, but doesn't check to see if GPS is activated!!!! Of course, the terrorists want to know where he is!!! And when the terrorists do breach the nuclear facility, the ONLY person able to save the day is Kolt! The plant is teeming with security forces, but Kolt manages to save the day, all by himself!

"Full Assault Mode" is the third in the Delta Force series by Dalton Fury, featuring Kolt Raynor. There were some things about this book that I didn't like, but there was more that I did. There were some things that were beyond my ability to suspend belief, and some editing mistakes that I noticed(and they really have to be blatant for me to notice); but I still liked the story. I liked the story, and the characters of the story -- and how they developed together. This was a book that I just kept being compelled to turn the page; because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. If they story doesn't do that for me, I have to force myself to finish. This was not that book. It was not the best I had ever read, but not the worst. I look forward to reading the next one in the series.

Not a great book compared to the previous two in the series.
I found myself mid way through looking ahead to see how many pages were left and was it worth the continuing read.
Feels compared to the other two that it had lost a plot, the flash backs didn't help with the story arc.
Plot:
Our main character Kolt goes off the grid with an classified organisation, ends up on the wrong side with the bad guys and has to attack a nuclear power station. Being in charge is able to deflect the strength of the chaos. Finds himself then with the terrorists in their camp and realises that the other team members are on US soil with another power station in their targets.
Skipping by this part is doable, the last segment is the chase to find the bad guys before any bad bangs happen.

I listened to this book on a cruise vacation. A mistake because I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first two, but this was because I kept lazily falling asleep and felt like I missed some of the details that would have enriched the plot more. The story was good, and a different approach to taking the fight to Islamic fundamentalists. I eventually made the effort to more actively listen and did enjoy the story. The plot in this book was a little more traditional, but the approach was fresh. I may listen to this again someday when I run out of new books in the series to get a better appreciation for it, but I felt like I got out of it what the author intended.

I have been on the fence with this series, the first one I gave 3 stars, second 4... But this book turns nonsensical about half way through. These holes in the plot combined with the insane product placement (if he isn't getting paid to put this stuff in here he should be) means I'm a lot less likely to go into the 4th book :(
July 11, 2019
Not as strong as the previous two novels in the series but the pacing is fast with an adequate amount of action. The story gets a bit convoluted as Kolt Raynor goes from Delta operative to terrorist mole to one man fighting force. At times this seems like a corny "Bruce Willis saves the world" effort and the ending was pure Hollywood complete with the bomb countdown timer.
August 30, 2020
Loved the first two books. This one was definitely the weakest of the series so far. Love Kolt and the action in the books. This story was lacking and filled with unnecessary descriptions, that were not characteristic of the first books. The story had some holes, but ended strong. Hoping the next book is more in line with the first two.
July 7, 2021
I enjoyed it. What I like about these books is that while sure, it's every fantasy of men to say disobey orders or push things to the edge but then still come out on top, there's moments of weakness and indecision by the characters. I think that is something that is often missing in other thriller books.

Let's say this... Dalton Fury really knows his craft.
Great story line, but it was a bit of "Hollywood" in the final climactic scene.
I would like to rate it 4 stars, but it fell just short.
Don't let that deter you though, this guy writes awesome novels.

Author is too engrossed in describing all equipment, including clothing. This is mind-numbing and takes ones focus from the plot. He knows his topic, from the inside, but lacks the skill to weave an engrossing story.

3.9 stars
As much as I enjoy reading Full Assault Mode I have to say that it is slower and not as thrilling as the first 2 book. Colt is too super hero and acting alone lost the fun of banter and interaction between teammates.

Compared to the first two books in the series, this one was a chore to read for like 85% of the book. Too much trivial detail. Repetitive writing. Lazy editing.
That last 15% was what I expected from the whole book.
Not sure what happened here but I hope the fourth book is better.

The first Dalton Fury book was great, 2nd OK, and in this one he really jumps the shark. Had to DNF it (did not finish). Silly and unbelievable.
August 26, 2017
After reading the first two books in the series, I was disappointed in this novel. Tomorrow, I plan to start the fourth story in the series. I am hoping for better results.
January 15, 2018
Good but not his best work. Should have been 200 pages less, at a minimum.Original content, storyline and characters developed well.

This book was very disjointed. I think it was a poor effort.

ok story, but this series needs a proofreader.

Very strong ending. My least favorite of the first three books of the series.

far fetched
Not as good as previous hooks and some areas were quite far fetched and totally unbelievable. Not sure if I will continue reading this series
