Lesson learned.
Unless you are a bored eighth grader, skip this book. A total suspension of reality would also help to make sense of the plot.

The fourth volume in the Brady Hawk series finds Hawk in Prague to prevent the assassination of the Jordanian prime minister, keep the peace process on track and rescue the prime minister's daughter. Then Hawk and Alex, who is out of the office and in the field with Hawk, return to the United States to stop another terrorist plot.
I love this series! Jack Patterson has created a group of interesting characters with great potential for continued growth. He writes in a rapid fire style and the story moves quickly. Patterson gets better with each book and has become one of my favorite authors. I look forward to the next installment of this series.

Love these characters!
Full Blast is Book 4 of the Brady Hawk series. Each book has had a primary situation to address with several other tiers occurring at the same time. In each book the main situation is resolved, making each book KIND OF a standalone; however, there are ongoing conflicts which are revealed little by little in each book. I would definitely say these should be read in order and are not standalones.
I truly enjoy these characters. I love their dedication to our country and their determination to save as many lives as possible. I would really like to see them form a partnership of all kinds!!
There is minor to moderate cursing and mature subject matters. I would absolutely recommend this book for anyone 16ish or older. I've already got the next book downloaded!

Another entertaining fast paced novel
This series may be a revised or updated version first read years ago, but the writer is as good as ever! These novels are so fast paced, the reader must start our familiar with the characters & situations as this great series unfolds. That's where character development happens, like great sports writing, over time. Maybe just right for the authors fellow journalists out here. Its like reading about events in a great daily newspaper or news magazine. Love the feeling of being a kid again just waiting for the next one! Love Kindl Unlimited in retirement!

Full Blast Jack Patterson
Brady Hawk, a covert operative has a lot of enemies. There is another covert agency working directly against him. Someone, rather a lot of middle eastern countries want the Jordanian minister dead. He only wants peace. Hawk is tasked with protecting the minister. Terrorists are also planning to blow up a stadium in Washington D.C.....with the Presidents blessing . Non stop action, intrigue. Betrayal...all the making of an extraordinary action thriller!!

Quick read.
Wonder how long we'll get some solid answers for the whole The Chambers, Searchlight, Firestorm stuff. It appears Firestorm and Blunt are the good guys, but is he (Blunt)? Or is he just good in comparison only to the other side (so maybe still bad, just not so bad)?
What is Alex's backstory? Her mother has been hinted at a few times now. Sounds like she was a spy or assassin?
When will Alex and Hawk actually get together? (I know it happens eventually because I saw the blurb for The Phoenix Chronicles series).
Will Al Hasib be defeated?
Etc.

The next chapter in the Brady Hawk universe is here. If you haven't read this series, I would suggest you start! Great action, fast paced and brilliantly written. You don't have to start from the beginning of the series in order to follow this book. You could start here and then start from the beginning. I've enjoyed all of the books in this series thus far and I look forward to the next adventure to see what Hawk gets into/out of next.

Brady Hawk's new mission: Go to Prague to stop an assassination of Prime Minister Yaseen Abbadi. Alex gets kidnapped, then released. Blunt is on the run and assumed dead.
Many different levels in this book. Hawk fights a terrorist group while struggling with his own soul. How does Alex fit into that? I love the action - lots of action.

Trying to be Scott harvath
Patterson is trying hard to create that "guy" that do it all hero. Brady is getting there but there is to much stuff in the way . Too many hostile groups supposedly fighting in deep cover for the security of the USA- maybe. Lots of things to clear up hopefully in #5 which I will be reading. Keep writing we will keep reading.

About 40% in this got to be almost unreadable. To say you have to suspend disbelief to read this would be an understatement. Don't waste your time or money on this one - trust me. I rarely rate a book a one star - but made the exception with this contrived "thriller".

Good stories
Love this authors writing style. Has a great grip on the story. This is the 4th book and glad I have a few more to go. Love Brady and his sense of humor, even during times of strife. 2 new heroes for me.

Hawk and Alex are called upon again, saving a politician and his daughter abroad and stopping a bomb threat at a packed sports venue at home. Good story with more build up for the longing run plot of deception and betrayal for Hawk.

Looking forward to more intimate scenes between Hawk snd Alex. When will they star in their own Bollywood scene? Do we have to wait for them to destroy all ISIS? Come on, Hawk, MAN UP!

What more can I say about this Brady Hawk series without giving away any spoilers? Brady is one bad dude. This book is another filled with many plot twists. If you are on the fence about this book do not hesitate and get it now, you won’t be disappointed.

Incredible books. Im on the 5th one. Some of the best I have read and without smutty language and explicit scenes that have little to do with the story line.
Have a hard time putting these down. F Hoover

A terrific story
With great characters (of course just the good ones! Lol!), drama, angst, suspense, and intriguing twists, it's a series that you won't want to miss. I would recommend this book, series, and author.

When you work for Firestone, you gotta do what you gotta do
Great read. Character were really involved.I liked Alex being involved. What an asset. I like how they zip around country to country and never really get enough rest. They handled their assignments well.

Not so good
Not the best book I have read. Seems like the same plot as the other books. There was one chapter in this book that was exactly like a chapter in the previous book just a few name changes

Great Read
The writer kept the interest of this reader. Plot line was good and characters were developed with interest in what would happen next.

Fast Read
Fast-paced action, a good read… A little short for my liking, however the plot was well done. I will have to go back and read the first edition now

Read four Brady Hawk novels in 3 days. Great action novels!

It's a good read but the middle eastern stuff is getting a little tiresome. And $5.00 for a book with less than 200 pages is a little bit much, in my opinion.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Good action, as usual, but ridiculously predictable and wildly unrealistic. Most disappointing of the first 4 books.

Another fast paced thriller
I am never bored reading an R.J. Patterson novel. So many neat twists and turns and interesting characters. It could read the Brady Hawk novel.
