In this, the fifth instalment in the JO MODEEN high-action thriller series, decorated ex-special forces soldier and now national security agent Josephine Modeen struggles to come to terms with the fate of close teammate Troy ‘Wolf’ Wolverton. Critically injured during the team’s most recent mission, he lies comatose in Brisbane Hospital’s intensive care unit. And the prognosis for his recovery isn’t good. Driven to pursue the organisation responsible, Modeen embarks on an unauthorised campaign of retribution. A campaign that is both personal and perilous. She’s going rogue … and going alone. ** While the stories in this series can stand alone, they are best enjoyed when read in sequence **
I didn’t really enjoy this story, to start with I wasn’t enamoured with the ‘Troy’ story in the previous book and I liked him even less in this one. Also Jo is usually portrayed as clever and intuitive, but at times I found her quite incompetent with no situational awareness during this story.
Overall it felt like a poor American TV thriller and I was generous giving it two stars.
The Jo Modeen 4 -6: Has a preview of the books, which I appreciate knowing what they're about before I read them. Well written, fast paced and action packed storylines with intelligent, realistic characters and events. I actually believe the author knew what he was writing about unlike some "writers" today who are clueless about weapons, training and combat fighting and action, but are liked by readers who know even less. I enjoyed the Aussie dialect and colloquialisms. It's easy to chain read the Modeen series without becoming bored or tired. Job well done, Jordan. 5*
Modeen Convergence #4 - Picks up where book #3 ended. Well written; fast paced; action packed with a well thought out plot that leaves the reader immersed in the pages until the end. The well developed characters and their dialog, and the vivid descriptions leave the reader with clear pictures. No graphic violence; no vulgar language, just a story that keeps the reader on edge. My fourth book in a row and I'm not bored or tired of reading the Modeen series. 5*
Modeen Rogue #5 - Picks up where book #4 ended. Well written, fastest paced of the books yet, while full of intrigue and action. The well thought out plot keeps the reader immersed without graphic violence or vulgar language. The vivid descriptions are easy to follow and Australia appears heavily as a character herself in the series. Interesting series. 5*
Modeen Redemption #6 - Picks up where book #5 ended. Just like the previous five books: it's well written, fast paced, action packed with a plot that takes the reader through a lot of happenings, good and bad. While full of action, the violence isn't graphic and there's no vulgar language. The books of this writer can sit on the same shelf as Ludlum, De Mille, Follett and the rest of the bunch. 5*
A gripping and pacy fifth instalment in the Jo Modeen series, featuring the characters we've come to know and like. This book has all the usual action, interspersed with light touches of humour and a solid human element, which is sometimes missing in action and adventure stories. Another most enjoyable page-turner from Frank H Jordan.
