Silent Horizons by Chad Robichaux, Jack Stewart

  

He’s gone behind enemy lines countless times before. But this time, he’s going alone.

Foster Quinn is more than a former Force Recon Marine. He’s a husband. A father. A faithful brother to his teammates. When one of them is killed during a high-risk operation to track down a dangerous arms dealer, Foster struggles to balance his roles as a dedicated family man and an elite warrior. Despite his inner demons—or maybe because of them—Foster can’t walk away from his brothers.

Then he gets the chance to step in where his best friend left off, assuming a cover identity in Iran that will get him close to the arms dealer and pave the way for a critical mission. On his own in a new country, he must carefully choose who to trust. An Iranian taxi driver. An American hunter. A British oil executive. One wrong move could spell disaster. Not just for the mission, but for Foster.

The clock is ticking. A team of tier-one warriors is set to plummet through the night sky in enemy territory. They’ve trained for this. But their success hinges on just one man.

My Review

 At first I found this book a little hard to get into, a lot of military terms. I'm glad I stuck with it all the way to the end. This did become a page turner for me as I needed answers!
Once a Marine, always a Marine, came to mind while I reading this. Sacrifice, sometime the ultimate for ones country. We need to stop and realize how much our military give to us for our freedoms!
This is story about the loss of a dear friend, and a lot about thwarting the evil to take down our country. I even felt myself tense up with the main character entering Iran, not for me!
I loved how the seals enter the story, and how they endeavor to take down the bad guys.
I was surprised, don't know why, by whom some of the traitors were, and makes me sad!
This is a non-stop action read, and you will soon be ducking bullets!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale House, and was not required to give a positive review.
