Watchlist

OUTCAST Ops #5

by Rick Chesler, Craig Reed Jr.

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY...BLEEDING EDGE TERROR A biotechnology conference in Prague is the target of a terrorist attack, and in its aftermath a renowned geneticist lay dying. His last act is to inject a man he has never before met with an experimental substance--artificial DNA that has been encoded with the details of a plot to unleash mass terror on the United States. Enter OUTCAST (Operational Undertaking To Counteract Active Stateside Threats)--six ex-operatives from six of America's most powerful organizations. Each has been unceremoniously released by their respective former employer for alleged misdoings that leave their pride wounded but their essential skill-sets untouched. After uniting over their shared bond of dismissal from the nation's most elite outfits, the disgruntled spooks realize they can work together like never before to take down threats to their beloved country, a country that branded them as outcasts but needs them now more than ever. As international authorities hunt for the fugitive whose blood carries some of the most sensitive intelligence data on the planet, they get close enough to learn his identity, but the truth rocks the White House to its core. The most wanted individual in the world is none other than OUTCAST leader, Tanner Wilson. One of the only people capable of stopping the looming threat to millions of innocent Americans, Wilson is placed on the terror Watchlist, and once again, OUTCAST is hell-bent on showing America that their way isn't the best way--it's the only way. Watchlist is Book 5 in the OUTCAST Ops series. They can be read in any order. Game of Drones is Book 1. The Poseidon Initiative is Book 2. African Firestorm is Book 3. Red Ice is book 4.

out of 5 starsMy Favorite OUTCAST OPs

I have read all of the OUTCAST books and this one is my favourite so far.Tanner Wilson is injected with very sensitive data that contains terrorist plans that can destroy millions.
Tanner gathers his team and seeks out terrorists while being
on the run. He has falsely been accused of being a terrorist himself.
This book is full of everything that makes a thriller so exciting to read.I loved it!

[Frank Spinney · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my introduction to the OUTCAST series and I loved it. It was a fast paced rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Pure adrenaline on steroids. One of the things I liked the most about this book is that I did not feel lost reading book 5 without reading books 1-4. This to me is a testiment to how well the author writes. Not only did it not take away from the book to start on book 5, it made me want to go out and get the other 4 books. Watchlist is a must read.

[Mickey Hoffman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a thriller that covers two continents and several cities. There are several sets of bad guys with different motives. I do wish the author would have the enemy do their worst in Los Angeles for a change, but I can see the pull of the east coast. No details for you here because I'm not going to spoil your read. There are many descriptions of weaponry in this book and for me, that's a foreign language, so I could have done with fewer of those sentences. Since this is the USA, I'm sure there are plenty of reader who understand every munition. Anyway, the characters and the dialogue are first rate and the plot is well done. I enjoyed it.
