Devil's Breed: A Steve Wolf Military Thriller
Nothing ever goes as planned…
That’s what Steve Wolf is starting to believe after a carefully planned appeal to clear his name—an appeal his high-priced lawyer assured him was a slam-dunk—mysteriously disappears from the Military Court of Appeals docket.
Disappointed, Wolf considers joining his friend and mentor, Big Jim McNamara, down at the border doing security work. But when a federal agent unexpectedly reenters Wolf’s life, he brings with him a proposition this ex-Army Ranger is hard-pressed to refuse. All Wolf has to do is assist in an undercover operation by pretending to be associated with a hard-core motorcycle gang called the Devil’s Breed, and his appeal will be back on track. There’s just one catch—the mission is to stop an international human trafficking and drug ring that is controlled by a powerful Mexican cartel and led by an enigmatic and legendary figure known as El Tigre. To complicate matters more, Wolf must accomplish all of this while being stalked by a foe from his past.
On a sudden collision course with murder, kidnapping, and disaster, Wolf finds himself in a race against time and one question plaguing his mind—will he risk it all to save the life of a man who once saved his?

For any of you who follow my blog, you know I’m a fan of Michael A. Black and his storytelling. I read Devil’s Breed, Book 6 in his Trackdown Series this week. I really like the story and the way Black put it together.
Black’s building of the boxing gym is the best description of the setting I can recall. He places the reader so close that one experiences the smells and sounds to such a degree that this reader stopped reading and looked around. It was as if I were in the gym. This descriptive language is carried throughout his characters’ development.
Black’s way of bringing his characters to life had me rooting for the antagonist, a ruthless killer with no conscience.
Danger lurks behind every twist and turn as the story progresses. Just writing this, my heart tightens with apprehension.
Devil’s Breed is a must-read because the story is so riveting.
There is, however, a problem with the book, though it did not keep me from finishing it. I was put off by something I’d never seen before from this writer, an overabundance of typos and editing errors. I raise the issue because I would not have finished Devil’s Breed if I had not previously read a dozen or so of Black’s books. I blame this on a publisher rushing a book to print. One other issue that gave me pause was, in my opinion, the overuse of Spanish. Based on the context and the minute amount of Spanish I know, I understood about half the messages. I found it off-putting. Hence the star rating. With good editing, this story would easily rate five stars.
I just ordered Devil’s Vendetta, Book 5 of the Trackdown series.

Devil’s Breed
While I really enjoy this set of stories there is one disappointing part and that is I don’t speak or read Spanish and some of the dialogue is in Spanish with no translation. I’m not that interested to try and translate myself and the author doesn’t feel the need to provide the translation so I can only assume what might be being said.
