DJ Slaughter #4
Free Fall
"I hope and pray that there really are people like DJ Slaughter out there fighting for us...."
DJ has been kidnapped, forced into a playing a wicked game of cat and mouse for the sake of vengeance. All he has to do is stay alive long enough for his friends to find him. But they have problems of their own. To make matters even more difficult, DJ is suffering from PTSD. He must not only outwit the hunters that pursue him, but he must also do battle with the demons in his own mind.
"Slam dunk. Home run. Perfect hat trick. What other sports metaphors can I use? The bottom line is this: if you liked the other three books, you will find yourself up all night reading this one..."
"Every time I think James has peaked as a writer, I read the next book and see that I am wrong..."
"Please tell me there is a real DJ Slaughter and this isn't all fiction. These people are believable. They are characters that you feel like you know…"
"Action/Crime/Adventure/Thriller perfection. James did it again... Like others have said before, DJ Slaughter is now my new favorite hero..."

This one digs deep into the dark world of PTSD, which Slaughter has. DJ is captured and parachuted in to a remote area, with only a pistol for a weapon where he is hunted by 5 very experienced assassins. This is all set up by Romanov, a Russian mobster. This is a no win situation for anyone but Slaughter. Just in case DJ survives this, Romanov has Abbi kidnapped as well. All sorts of high tech action going on with lots of twists and turns. Figuring out how DJ was being tracked, was the easiest part. Another great Slaughter book!

I have to say that this series has not disappointed me. Another wild and crazy ride with DJ and it had me going back and forth to the very end. Was the traitor really a traitor? There was a nice twist thrown in there near the end and for a little while had me wondering if he might actually be a good guy. But, then I thought...nah.... Honestly though - interesting twist.
DJ is a complex character - who is EXTREMELY talented with a gun and this book is no exception with the body count. They are always unbelievably high. I enjoyed it though.

Continuing from where book 3 left off
DJ has been tranquillized and dropped from a plane. He is unsure of how to release his parachute as he falls. He sees several other parachutes as he falls and then he is on the ground being hunted.
Excellent contribution to Slaughter! Loved it!

Straight Shooting
James Beltz never disappoints. He's shooting from the hip with this one. Impeccable strategy descriptions that bring the pieces of a thrilling puzzle into play to form a picture perfect ending. DJ Slaughter is the killing machine every terrorist fighter needs, even the President of the United States.

This is a good read. The proofreading and editing is much better in this book with much less spelling and grammatical errors than the books before this one. This made the book much easier to read than the previous ones.

This book was a disappointment after the first 3 that were great. Still I love that the author used no profanity. Thanks for that.
