Work InformationThe Temporary Agent by Daniel Judson    None No current Talk conversations about this book.   debbie13410 | Oct 22, 2022 |  Maybe I was so tired I just couldn't get my head into this one, but the plot shifts just never seemed to stop coming. Last minute justifications are a pet peeve as well. I will try this author another time and see how that one goes. (  ) PCHcruzr | Oct 7, 2019 | Gripping thriller set in many real locations in NE USA. A former Seabee who served in Iraq and Afghanistan where he was wounded has drifted for several years since a civilian but has found a soul mate to settle down with when a former buddy calls him for help. What ensues leads him into dangerous waters where Chechen terrorists are aided by rogue intelligence officers, but figuring who is working for who isn't easy. (  ) edwardsgt | Jul 14, 2016 | Even though, or perhaps because, the book dealt with urban terrorism, it seemed very authentic and plausible, which makes it all the more frightening. The strong, stoic main character has a moral compass he will not veer from. This makes his adventures that much more difficult. This is a compelling story that is hard to put down. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. (  ) RobynELee | Jul 13, 2016 | I got this free via, I think, Kindle First. It is very eventful...so much so I found that it got boring. Good plotting requires pacing- high excitement interspersed with lower-energy elements, and this was close to 100% EXCITING. And I am not sure that all the changes made sense in terms of character. OK, all the wheels within wheels and betrayals... but in the end, I am not convinced the resolution makes sense, based on the characters etc. There is not much character development. The characters are mostly stick figures, ruled by the fairly arbitrary plot. The plot raised a lot of questions, especially as to various people's characters, that were glossed over by the end. There were lots of intricate details about various kinds of guns and explosives, if that's your thing. Not really recommended. (  ) cissa | Jun 29, 2016 | no reviews | add a review

Scarred by war, former Navy Seabee Tom Sexton vows to leave his violent past behind, only to be drawn back into that life when a deadly conspiracy forces him to face an agonizing choice no man should ever have to make. Five years after his life was saved in Afghanistan by Marine Force Recon Leader Charlie Cahill, Tom lives a bleak, nomadic existence, haunted by the debt he can never repay. Salvation appears in Stella--a woman as damaged, and resourceful, as he. But when a coded distress call from his former CO leads him to a shadowy NSA operative, Tom is recruited for a "black op" to bring back the now-rogue man who saved his life. As he searches for Cahill, Tom quickly uncovers a much larger web of treason and betrayal that calls his entire world into question--and forces him into the ultimate no-win scenario.

If you are in love with guns then this is the book for you. I thought I was reading a gun industry advertisement. I quit around page 52. Not my kind of book. (
