I didn't find this book as an incredible one, something that will give you chills or make you curious what will happen next, to begin with. I begin this book with a lot of expectations but it all ended in vain. The character Sam Pope was quite interesting but he is not that a unique one like we can find someone like him in some hollywood movies, who was once a vigilant police officer but eventually turned against the system itself and fighting for justice. But the thing I find quite contradicting was that his stand for the death of the people who are killed by him when he was on the police force and the people he killed when he was fighting for justice. When he lamented for the former he didn't have a concise for the latter. I know he loved Alex and also cared for her but it all took a U-turn when Amara Singh came and I find it really crazy. Also, the book didn't give any hint about what happened to Alex and her family after Sam left her because I was quite fond of her relationship with her siblings.

Good thriller but!
Enjoying the Same Pope thriller series but this one had far too much repetition throughout the story . Had to keep skipping pages as it was details we already new.

Occasionally you come across a series that is pretty good in the first book and okay in the second. By the third you realize the writer doesn't really have that much to say because he spends half of the book, in this series really short books, recounting everything from the previous books and never really finishing a storyline.
For someone like me, with OCD and ADD, it means I have to continue the series because the books aren't complete crap. I almost wish this one had been truly terrible so I could have allowed myself to quit...
I think he wrote himself into a corner, so here's hoping the next one is appreciably better... or worse so I can finally move on.

I have been working my way through the Sam Pope books and while I enjoyed Too Far Gone, overall it is starting to feel like the series is going through the motions a bit. There is no shortage of action and the pace is fast which makes it easy to get through. There are definitely some tense scenes and the plot picks up quickly which kept me turning the pages.
That said I could not help but feel like I had already read a lot of this before. The story follows a very similar pattern to the previous book and while Sam is still a strong character he does not really evolve much here. His emotional journey which felt more present in the earlier books is barely touched on and I found myself wanting more from him than just another mission.
Something else I found noticeable in this one is how often the book brings up past events. It feels like every few chapters there is another reminder of what Sam has done in earlier books. I understand wanting to show his history but it gets a bit repetitive and really breaks the flow of the story. It also means that if you try to jump into the series here you are going to hit spoilers right away.
One thing that stood out in a not so great way is how the women in the story are written. They tend to fall into one of two types: either they are helpless and need saving or they end up falling for someone almost instantly even if they are supposed to be in positions of power or authority. It makes their roles feel predictable and not very believable. I think the series would really benefit from more balanced and realistic female characters who bring something different to the story.
Too Far Gone was not a bad read and I did enjoy parts of it but it feels like the series is stuck in a bit of a loop. There is still potential here and I will probably carry on with the next book but I am really hoping to see more variety in the plot and some real growth in the characters.

I would have given this novel more stars if the author hadn't felt compelled to invent new reasons for Sam Pope, the main character, to feel discouraged and guilty.
When I read action novels, I want a character focused solely on action and suspense, not a whole lot of psychological issues!
Authors seem to think that giving characters a painful psychological background makes them more human and that we'll like them and their story more because of it. Yes, but there's a limit. It's not necessary to spend half the novel describing in detail why the protagonist is unhappy about his son's death and his divorce. Why he mourns the deaths of his comrades in arms. Why he feels guilty for having been part of a mercenary team when he believed he was working for the good of his country.
The author spends far too much time on such descriptions. If he described them once and then just mentioned them BRIEFLY, that would be fine, but here it gets lost in details and repetitions.
This author should take a page from Vince Flynn's book and his wonderful character, Mitch Rapp, or from Lee Child's Jack Reacher series.
These authors provided a captivating and relevant portrayal of their MC's past without dwelling on it excessively.
What readers of vigilante novels want is a solid main character, who knows their stuff, who doesn't hesitate to act, and who doesn't spend their time whining about their fate or their past mistakes.

Too Far Gone -
Oh my, oh my… Book 4 and I think the series just keeps getting better. This book, like the others, is a page turner, full of action and so easy to read. You just have to love Sam, and those who get involved trying to catch him end up respecting and helping him. These books are as good as the Lee Child’s Reacher series. This book could be read as a stand-alone, as the storyline explained what had previously occurred in the previous books. However, take it from me - start at book 1 and keep reading the series. You will not regret it. I’ve read over 40 books this year and this one is probably equal favourite with the last Alex Smith - Kett series. 6 out of 5 from me. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Thank you Robert for a great series.

The search for justice and doing what he feels is right is what drives Sam Pope to keep going. That, and to make the sacrifices that have been made because of him and his actions worth the price that was paid. This new book in the series is still action filled, with vivid descriptions of gruesome violence, but it also is a little more contemplative, with a number of characters re-assessing their actions and futures. I received an ARC and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Sam Pope had been lied to by a man he once respected,revered.General Wallace,a hero in the publics eye.His organization Blackridge actually funds terrorist organizations. He also manipulates them. He controls the assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police as well as other powerful people. Sam Pope is going to take him down .whatever the cost even if it means his life Non stop action from the first to last page!!bA spectacular read! My highest recommendation!!

Keep them.coming......
Brilliantly written story line, great plot with lots of fast page turning moments. This could be one of the modern great crime thriller series. Only just hope they keep on coming...... Not to spoil anything for any future reader but the door is wide open for a 5th...

The right thing to do
Gritty is a vast understatement. No seat has an edge sharp enough. No other man could say 'its the right thing to do' and mean it more than Sam Pope, not just say it but risk his life time and again to do it. So with the knowledge of ultimate betrayal redemption is needed, sort and achieved with the ultimate cost.

I couldn’t finish it. This is one of those series that ai probably should have started with Book 1. There as Lots of dense information at the beginning so I was unable to connect with the main character or even remember his name. The narrator annoyed me with the emphasis on so many words. I know that is a weird criticism. I may try again with Book 1

Another great read - as usual, non stop action from start to finish. Lots of other stories running alongside. I cannot wait to start reading book number 5, The Final Mile. A big thank you to the author Robert Enright, and from me another well deserved 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

It's the right thing to do
Another great read fast paced, more detail, and a load of action. Sam gets to feel for someone again some of his friends offer him help with his rigorous campaign to rid the world of the real traitors. Only to wind up in prison. Got to get into the next installment.

An extremely good read as usual but the author does repeat from previous books but I would think he's recapping on things to jog our memories which in my case is a good thing. I'm beginning to like Sam alot I just hope he gets the peace & justice that he deserves. The police have treated him all wrong for taking out the bad guys even from the met.

Too good to put down.
I have only once given 5 stars to a book.
This one I would say...4.5/5.
Couldn’t put it down, I’m a sucker for this type of character..you feel you get to know then.
Next one please...

Good story for book 4
My only criticism is that there’s just a tad too much of repetitive stuff referring to previous episodes. Having said that it is still a good story with plenty of characters to choose from. A little less use of the word smirk and smirking would be good too

58-2023. Our hero does some justice, and many of the good guys live to celebrate that. Mayhem, death, and assorted violence travels in his wake. There’s room for a sequel, of course, and I’ll dove into book 5 soon enough.

Sam looking for answers
Sam after sorting out one problem finds himself stuck abroad and a target from the Black Opps team run by Col. Wallace, who has given an order to find him by any means. Great book full of action.

For me this was an exciting ending to one captivating story of many facets told over a series of four books (Sam Pope 1-4). So SPOIL ALERT, the Epilogue designed to lure the reader into the next book, which I will in time certainly read, was rather unnecessary. In my imagination the story had readily run to a natural conclusion. That said, this book like previous books in the series also with odd annoying edit errors not picked up by proof readers, was still another very good read.

Robert Enright is such a fantastic story teller. I’ve become very invested in Sam Pope and the other characters in this story and series. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Disappointingly repetitive
Disappoingly repetitive. The storyline is now formulaic. Based on the previous novels in the series, one can predict the action sequences blow for blow. The same grammatical errors too.
Still plenty of mindless action to keep it interesting.

Enjoyed it, moves along at a good pace. I do wonder though, does anyone proofread anymore? Brandt became Brand and then back to Brandt on the same page. Confectionary?? A few others as well and it always leaves a taint that won't allow 5 stars. Onto book 5.

Another Excellent Story
Another excellent story in the Sam Pope series by Robert. A great cast of characters and an excellent storyline that moved at a very fast pace and kept me gripped from start to finish. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Another good read following the adventures of this damaged hero. The story expands Sam Pope’s sphere of influence and delves into his history. Well written and a real page turner however there were too much reviewing aspects of previous books.

Brutal
A soldier who only wants peace has his life shattered...the loss of his son in a tragic accident causes him to seek justice. His motto is simple. It is the right thing to do. So he does it.
