CI: Team Red: An Army Counterintelligence Novel

Army Counterintelligence #1

by David DeBatto, Pete Nelson

Into the Heart of Terror In a story so explosive that he can only tell it as fiction, former counterintelligence special agent David DeBatto takes us onto a new kind of battlefield, beyond the reach of reporters, and into the covert ops of elite tactical intelligence teams. Their number one job: to pierce the secrets of an enemy-before the enemy reaches us... Staff Sgt. David DeLuca had a love/hate relationship with the Armed Forces. Then came 9/11. After a career as a street cop, he went to war-and put his skills to work in a secret army within an army. Part detective, con man, spy, and soldier, DeLuca is now hunting a Saddam loyalist Centcom thought was dead. To catch his prey, he'll have to outmaneuver him using microscopic forensic evidence, high-tech espionage tools, and gut instincts. But as he follows a deadly trail out of the Sunni Triangle into Iran, a horrifying picture is coming clear to DeLuca and his elite "red" team: a terrorist group already has its fangs in the USA-and needs to be hunted down and eliminated right now...

[Spenser · Rating 4 out of 5]

Appears to be a good new series related to the military counter-intel profession. This is book 1 of the CI series. This book was informative, fast-paced, entertaining and not a bunch of hokey nonsense. Debatto is an authentic 'been there / done that' dude. Hopefully his books get even better as the series progresses.
