Author Brent Towns keeps the action coming thick and fast, let’s you up for a breath and then drags you back in for more.After he is betrayed and shoots the two most powerful men in the Irish Mob, John “Reaper” Kane is forced into hiding. He thinks Retribution, Arizona, is the perfect hiding place, but he is wrong.

I don't usually say a book has non-stop action and mean it, but this is about the closest to that I've read. There's a page or two here and there of down time, and a few pages up front while things are being set up, but other than that, we are constantly on the move with the characters and in near constant conflict.
Towns knows his military background material and knows how to keep a book moving while providing you with strong, well drawn characters who you can root for. Highly recommended.

A Spec/Ops guy turned body guard is betrayed by his boss and kills an Irish Mobster. He goes on the run to Arizona and immediately runs afoul of the local cartel. After some beatings and killings, the guy is recruited for a DEA team to take care of the Cartel problem once and for all.

What started out as a Mitch Rapp knockoff quickly turned into a Jack Reacher knockoff. The lead character is a hard guy to root for. Some of the dialogue is so laughable for example "What are you looking at boyo?". You can't make this stuff up. The potential is there but the execution has to be better next time.

Action! Action! Action!
Just love reading these action thrillers. This is a new series. A real bad __s.
Ex-marine John Kane, wants to take life easy after tangling with the mob. So he ends up in a dump called Retribution and runs right into trouble.
When the Sherrif of the town is murdered and decapitated, he calls in some favors. Soon he has help and a task force and he’s ready to roll!
Action! Action! Action! It doesn’t stop long, just to get in a little dialogue. And even that’s full of action.
A lot of fighting! A lot of violence! A lot of killing! This book would make a great movie and I hope someday it does.
A happy five stars ✨

My first book review and not a positive one I'm afraid. I had high hopes for this book after reading the synopsis but after a farly short journey into it, found myself losing interest badly.
For me the whole thing was just not believable, much as I would like it to have been otherwise. I actually found the various settings and incidents quite repetetive, very much akin to 'writing by numbers'. I did persevere to the end in order to satisfy myself as to whether I got it wrong at the beginning, but as you have just read, it just wasn't for me, and so will not be reading any of the others in the series.

It's what you wish the US government was donig about drugs!
It starts out like Jack Reacher getting off a bus and being hassled by everyone he meets, but it morphs into Jack Bauers from "24." It keeps a fast pace with the bad guys winning the first few rounds before "Reaper" decides he's had enough. Very PC with his #2 a women cop and a former Marine he met in combat elsewhere. She's trying to make the best of a bad situation, but Reaper ignites a volital episode that starts a cross-border war with a crazed drug lord (like there is a 'normal' drug lord?) Lots of action, lots of weapon technology and description, and lots of bullets firing at full-auto! Only if the Mexico border problem could be solved so easy? It does highlight the major problem caused by the lack of a secure border as both sides run across the border to kill whoever is in the way. Interesting to note the author is an Aussie. His take on the problem sounds like most folks in Texas.

Intriguing storyline. Fast-paced, non-stop action. Great characters. This is the first book I've read by the author. I like his writing style.

Reacher meets Walking Tall
I wish I could give this novel 4 stars, but the frequent mistakes with idiomatic dialogue and nan-American slang were just too repetitive and jarring. In a story that was supposed to be about American soldiers and was set primarily in the United States, they occurred too often. Characters were pretty good, action sequences very good. I’ll read more, but get a U.S. proofreader if you want to be bigger in the U.S. market.

I really wanted to like it
Good premise but failed execution. I wanted to like it, but didn't. The characters were shallow and the dialogue was one dimensional. I feel like it was an opportunity missed.

Horrible !!!
Story line is standard TV fodder. Judging from the colloquialisims and rotten grammar, obvious lack of schooling is evident. The author is likely from some backwoods community where schooling is not available further than fifth grade. Do not waste your time.

Cookie cutter plot. Cookie cutter main character. No brainer dialogue. Hopefully Towns improves with experience.

I downloaded this author after seeing him mentioned in a Facebook group that I belong to (Military Thriller Book Group), and can definitely say that I was not disappointed.
Good start to a new series with a superhero leader and ex-military soldier. After getting into a shoot out with the mob, Kane escapes to Arizona where he meets a former soldier who fought in a battle to save the embassy in the Philippines; now a deputy in the town that is run by a Mexican cartel. Reaper joins up with the deputy and puts together a team of former associates to take on the cartel and put an end to their reign.
It's a shoot 'em up type of story where the team kills hundreds of the enemy (and only losing a few of their own). My only complaint is the author's constant mention of weaponry, nomenclature, and ammunition size; it's like hitting a nerve each time it's mentioned.
Our protagonist, John “Reaper” Kane, a former Force Recon Marine now working in protection services who decided to go into hiding after killing an Irish mob boss in retaliation for the death of his partner. However, Kane decides that Retribution, A would be a good out-of-the-way hideout.
Unfortunately this is a fly-speck community just across the border from Mexico that is being used as a transportation hub for the shipment of drugs by two of the major Mexican cartels. This is also a community where the former colleague serves as a deputy in the local police department. What a coincidence! See where this is going?
Kane and an old friend from his service days get totally embroiled in a war between the DEA and the Montoya Cartel.
I don't usually say a book has non-stop action and mean it, but this is about the closest to that I've read. This is one of those books that would definitely be enjoyed by adrenaline junkies and military thriller aficionados.
Lots of action, lots of weapon technology and description, and lots of bullets firing at full-auto!

It’s okish…
A lot of 5* reviews, fair enough, but I disagree.
Even though I don’t agree I would recommend you try it at least.
TLDR, quite a few things are annoying.
It’s ponderous in the beginning.
Is based in a US town ‘Retribution’ (which appears not to exist), the names just… irritating.
Of ‘names’ the protagonist is ‘Kane’ although he’s referred to as ‘Reaper’.
Reaper in Retribution, ok an annoying alliterative foible… But then there’s the strange synchronicity of Kane meeting Cara there, (the two were in some combat unit at some point), but have not seen each other for years, ok it happens… but anyway… it somehow drags into an attempt to grab the head of a cartel from Mexico, mixed up with drugs, sanctioned at the highest level the president (who knows? Probably??)…
All the action is in the last 10% of the book, which is good and well written and well that’s it…
There’s a huge series of these books so if you think 5* then plenty to go after and enjoy.
I will try another (I guess can get over the name issue) but if the pacing is the same it will be a put down and leave for me.

I already ordered the next book in the series and hope it'll be better than this first installment. The story kept my interest as I continued to root for the good guys and felt sad when one of the characters were killed.

Here we have a detailed contemporary look at a Mexican drug cartel situated between Nogales and Sonora. The Montoya Cartel and its Sicario Ceasar Salazar “El Monstruo” utilize the small town of Retribution, Arizona as a hub for shipping drugs across the border. In another part of the U.S., our MC John “Reaper” Kane, former Force Recon Marine now working in protection services, goes into hiding after killing an Irish mob boss in retaliation for the death of his partner. Kane decides that Retribution, Arizona would be a good out-of-the-way hideout. What a coincidence! See where this is going? Kane and an old friend from his service days get totally embroiled in a war between the DEA and the Montoya Cartel. It’s a pretty good story, fast-paced with lots of action. It’s a story I wish were based in fact. It’s also the first installment of a new series worth looking into. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This could be the start of a very entertaining action series. John 'Reaper' Kane, after being betrayed by his former employer, thinks he killed all responsible and leaves NY for somewhere noone can find him. Or so he thinks. He ends up in a small town in Arizona called Retribution and soon trouble finds him again. This time a very powerful Mexican drug cartel. After the town's sheriff is killed by their sicario, word finally gets out to the DEA and Reaper becomes the field leader of a black ops task force to hunt down and destroy the cartel and their boss, Montoya. Turns out that Mexico isn't less deadly than the middle east. This is an edge of your seat action thriller which doesn't give you much time to breathe. Highly recommended for fans of Reacher, Rapp and the likes.
I got an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

First entry in the series, it's a good intro to the characters. Luis Ferraro is a DEA agent who wants to take the war on drugs to the cartels, and stop them permanently. John "Reaper" Kane and Cara are two ex-Marines that he's going to use to do so.
Kane's just had his best friend killed, his clients murdered, his job betrayed by his boss, and the Irish Mob boss who ordered it is dead by his hands. He leaves New York, and ends up in Retribution, Arizona. There he meets Cara, who he first met when they defended the Phillipine embassy from terrorists.
After the local Sheriff is killed by the Montoya Cartel, and the deputy sheriff sets them up to be murdered as well, the DEA creates a Task Force with Reaper in charge to take them on. They steal the cartel's money, destroy their cocaine labs, and eventually Montoya's home and capture him while killing most of his men.

just so bad…..
I don’t know this author but it is obvious that he clearly does not know know his subject matter or local dialect. To start with, his main character, “Reaper Kane” is a complete and utter embarrassment to the military in general and the SOF community in particular, whom the author does not represent.
Secondly, the entirety of the storyline is simply too far beyond plausibility to be believed even for bad fiction.
Lastly, “feller”????!?!!! Who the duck says feller? Absolutely nobody ever, that’s who. Yet in this poorly written mess of a story, absolutely everyone tosses this unused word around like it’s the golden ticket. I’ve lived in 14 states and been to most of them, never heard anyone use this word who wasn’t trying to be funny.
I could not finish this book. It just didn’t deserve my time and attention. Ugh.

I'm sorry, I really wanted to like this, but I could barely get through it.
Took me about a chapter or two to figure that the author was an Aussie from some of his terminology (singlet, fellers, etc). Normally not a problem unless you're writing a story about an former U.S. Marine. The character development is pretty thin, the action sequences are pretty repetitive and uninspired. Seriously, I had a hard time believing Kane was a regular Marine, let alone Force Recon or MARSOC.
I'd like to think that the rest of the series gets better, but honestly, the reviews for this one were mostly positive and I was pretty disappointed, so I won't be continuing on with this series. Honestly don't know what else the reviewers who gave this 4 and 5 stars have read before. I'll stick with Jack Carr, Brad Taylor, Brad Thor, and Andrews/Wilson for this genre.

Fast paced adrenaline ride
John Kane, aka Reaper,is an ex- Force Recon Marine out after watching too many friends die. He runs into an old colleague just as her Arizona town is being torn apart by the Montoya Cartel.
Eventually, they decide taking it too the cartel is the only way to make the violence stop. Backed by the DEA, they assemble a team and do that.
While there’s many such stories out there, Retribution seems well researched, and Reaper has a chagrined self-awareness that his “frontal assault” answer to every situation is a limited view.
Three stars for a fast paced page turner, and, would have liked to see at least one of the many bad guys have a dimension other than psychopath.

The Action Never Stops
In the realm of thrillers from the paramilitary novels being and having been written, Retribution is a tome that stands tall among all of them. Author Brent Towns has proven himself more than capable to write a story that excites, awes and captures the imagination and attention of the reader. The spellbinding detail of locations and environs are so realistic as to be touched by each reader and the characters are so nuanced that as we're read we think of people we know now and knew in times past. The result is a read that keeps you riveted on the story of operatives and their ops to the point you have to force yourself to put it down so you'll be able to take care of personal needs. A strong 5 stars and a hope Mr. Towns keeps writing like this.

Once again, the same “tired” plot. A handful of maverick “government sanctioned” vigilantes cross the border and take out a drug lord and his army of cartel soldiers. A note to the author: please don’t let your main character, (the indestructible Reaper) use the word “fellers” when addressing a group of other men. It’s an antiquated descriptor that doesn’t belong in a contemporary thriller. I’m still waiting for an author to step forward with a more sophisticated “covert ops” thriller that has a more realistic and believable. After reading the primer for “Team Reaper #2”, I’ll be moving on to another author.

Hmm, filled with over the top ridiculous action and equally ridiculous dialogue it was still okay for a quick brain dead read.
I notice the usual flood of five star reviews claiming how amazing it is etc..🙄
It’s to much to hope that the goodreads owners Amazon will ever do anything about the nonsense fake reviews. They don’t do it on their main Amazon website so it’s never going to happen here.
Sorry to author for picking on his book as it’s all over this site for these kind of books.
Just bloody annoys me 😡

Great Mixture of Factual Historical Fiction Adventure!
In addition to first-hand experience in life-and-death military situations, in-depth knowledge of its technical aspects mixed with its horrors, M. Long applies his excellent creative story-telling abilities to develop this highly entertaining and informative early frontier trilogy. A great read for enjoyment and educational value.

Happy trails. . .
Mr Chuck Dixon of the Levon Cade series recommended Mr Trent Towns in epilogue at end. I assure you that dining at start of the ‘ Team Reaper ‘ restaurant of digital verbiage was satisfying. Different styles but nice flavorful content. Best thing is that there is no Maître d’ to waste yur time. Sit a spell.

Payback
A tense, well written, fast moving novel from Towns about the drug cartel versus all types of law enforcement. The cartel members outnumber law enforcement and use whatever they choose including torture and murder to protect their drug manufacturing business. I highly recommend this author and look forward to reading more from him.

Didn’t want to take a break from reading!
Had some time on my hands and wanted something that would keep my interest and action-packed. I couldn’t have made a better choice. For a newer author on the scene, this gentleman packs a tremendous punch with his writing. I couldn’t stay away from the book. Easy to follow and intense! Get me the next one in the series, QUICKLY!!!!
