Rate this book
With his team back in the fight, American covert operative Chase Fulton is forced to dive into his own psyche and revive the devoted warrior deep within. As opposing worlds tug at every corner of his mind, he must once again immerse himself into the realm of the fearless to face an opponent unlike any he’s known.

Even the relentless drudgery of time’s passing can’t protect the team from evils born of the Cold War. Old enemies stand in defiance and utter determination to complete the unfinished work of ages past, and only Chase Fulton and his team of tier-one operators stand between them and ultimate freedom. Will the mission drive the team apart or draw the brotherhood even tighter as they face not only the enemy before them, but also the demons of their own creation?

Never before has so much hung in the balance for the team, so step into the fire and feel the anticipation of what lies just around the corner as Cap Daniels leads you through a web of intrigue, espionage, and deceit like you’ve never experienced.

About the author

Cap Daniels

71 books234 followers
Creator of The Chase Fulton Novels series and The Avenging Angel - Seven Deadly Sins Series, Cap Daniels is a former sailing charter captain, scuba and sailing instructor, pilot, Air Force veteran, and civil servant of the U.S. Department of Defense. Raised far from the ocean in rural East Tennessee, his early infatuation with salt water was sparked by the fascinating, and sometimes true, sea stories told by his father, a retired Navy chief petty officer. Those stories of adventure on the high seas sent Cap in search of adventure of his own, which eventually landed him on Florida’s Gulf Coast where he and his wife Melissa spend as much time as possible on, in, and under the waters of the Emerald Coast.

With a headful of larger-than-life characters and their thrilling exploits, Cap pours his love of adventure and passion for the ocean onto the pages of his action adventure series, The Chase Fulton Novels and his new series Avenging Angel - Seven Deadly Sins.

Inspired by the likes of John D. Macdonald’s Travis McGee, Randy Wayne White’s Doc Ford, and Wayne Stinnett’s Jesse McDermitt, Cap creates thrilling tales of action and adventure set throughout the Caribbean and coastal Florida and Georgia by intertwining nautical adventure with international espionage. Cap’s Chase Fulton Novels series promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats, trying to guess what new danger or adventure lies just around the corner.

The Avenging Angel - Seven Deadly Sins series is a spin-off starring the most controversial and intriguing character from the Chase Fulton Novels. After defecting to the United States, Anastasia "Anya" Burinkova, a former Russian SVR assassin and intelligence operative puts her lethal skill set into action against the powerful Russian Mafia. In this gritty, organized-crime thriller series, Cap Daniels takes his readers into the dark underworld of the Russian Mafia weaving actual events into fiction to leave the reader's heart pounding and their fingers itching to turn the page.

As with all of books in this series, this is another wild ride that will take you on another adventure with Chase and his team.

From stopping an airplane hijacking, to saving the world from WW3, it is exciting as all of the others.
Chase and his team have to go to Cuba to stop a shipment of Nuclear weapons being set off. With the additional team member, a medic, they go on another mission that can take any of their lives.

Now, I have to wait until September to read the next in the series! I have thoroughly enjoyed each of these books and will be awaiting the next one.

Gamblers don't always win!

Mr. Daniels puts this team in so many places of danger and then lets them dig themselves out. However, "One thing leads to another", and Chase and company are off and running! They do the best they can every time! They are not saved by the same person every time , but someone always comes through! That is makes these stories so great!
Keep writing by the seat of your pants Mr. Daniels, I promise to keep reading!

As good as ever

Starts off a tad different and as Chase says, I/we aren't trained for this, but after a few chapters we revert to type and things progress as most of the previous books have done
There are a few points in the book where you think "yeah right", but overall it's all good fun, action packed, fast paced and humourous
It's good to see some of the old characters making a reappearance and for once, not everyone walks away with just scratches and bruises

a new record

I finished this one in two days including work, sleep, and eating. This was very fast paced and even towards the 86% mark I envisioned a “to be continued” ending. I was disappointed mildly that one character didn’t feature more heavily. I can’t wait for another book maybe with less planes and more sailboats.

Great book

I don’t know how Cap keeps coming up with so many twists and turns in his books. This is another action packed book with a little comedy thrown in to give the reader a break from all the tense moments that will keep on the edge of your sleep and past your bedtime and you have to finish it before going to sleep.

Cap rides again

Cap Daniels continues to deliver great reads this just one more in a great string of them. I highly recommend that you start at book one of this great series, as the story line starts there and continues thru the whole series. Cap leaves you wanting more and he keeps delivering. I also recommend reading his other series about a female Russian assassin Ayna.

Plenty of action in this story. It's all hands on deck for the whole team, including Skipper. I cannot recommend Cap Daniel's books too highly. If you have not read the whole series, do so. You won't be disappointed and you will appreciate the fact that it doesn't take a lot of sex and language to write great fiction.

One of the Best!

Loved this storyline laced with informative dialogue, action and excitement! I've loved the entire series but this was definitely one of the Best! Of course, there's a caveat, the ending may have been a bit too abrupt... But, I'm just a lowly reader and fan who probably never wants the story to end.

National security is important but it co.ed with more responsibility for people like Chase.

The team may not be as ready as the coil be, but when duty calls they are going to make sure the nation as all love remains safe. Fantastic character development and storyline. The level of excitement will keep you coming back for more.

Another exciting novel featuring Chase and team preventing a possible disaster. It was so intense I finished it in one day. The team gets support from the board, Hunter suffers a serious injury and Fingers is there to help even though he is also injured. Especially enjoyed reading The Author’s Notes which helped in understanding technical aspects of the story.

The Gamblers Chase was another amazing story from Cap Daniel’s. I don’t know how he does it but they keep entertaining me. I wasn’t fond of Chase and Hunter not realizing they almost fell to their death, but I think it could happen. Why Cap had to throw Brinkwater people in this story was a little over the top, but other than that, a great read.

5 stars for every book in the series

I love Cap's books, await each one with anticipation and then devour them in a single sitting whilst on the edge of my seat. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a fast paced adventure.

a movie?

I can picture these stories as I read them. And I can picture people I know in them. Getting these characters out of my mind is a task after I read one of Cap Daniels novels. They’re deep and wide. Thank you.

As always, a great story with A-team characters. This one was chock full of exciting, non-stop adventure. Can't wait for Anya to show up and cause havoc in Chase's life again....it will happen, you know it will.

Another winner, Cap! (thank you, Cap, for not allowing Hunter to ...... You know)

The gambler's choice

Typical Cap Daniels book with what I feel is too cavalier in its telling of the tale and too Hollywood in its action approach. They are so great but why do they get in bad situations with so many of the adversaries? Good for relaxation if not reality.

Excellent

This was a good read. I have often wondered what would have happened during the Cuban Missle crisis had Former President JF Kennedy blinked.
The equipment used in this story was phenomenal.

Good

Exciting, very fictional! I hope another Cuba Military/Missile crisis never exists or comes near fruition. It's too scary to even ponder for consideration, even though potentially viable, violating humanity.

Close to home and believable

As usual Cap Daniels pulls out a nail biter to the bitter end. This one seemed that it could actually be happening. It's a book you can't put down.
