Description
In this explosive series from "New York Times" bestseller Harold Coyle and noted military author Barrett Tillman, a new type of war is being fought by private paramilitary companies at the beck and call of the highest bidder. With the military and intelligence agencies spread thin, the United States is constantly calling upon the services of these organizations--and Strategic Solutions Inc. is among the best. What begins as a relatively simply military-training mission in Chad turns into a show more high-stakes game of nuclear brinkmanship as the men and women of Security Solutions, Inc. stumble across a plot to extract and ship yellowcake--the base fuel for a nuclear weapon--to any number of countries hostile to the US. The in-country force tracks the operation to a supposedly abandoned remote mine in the desert.They strike, but a convoy carrying the yellowcake shipment escapes their trap. With time running out, the SSI teams must pull together like they never have before to find a ship in international waters and recover its deadly cargo--by any means necessary. show lessTags

This was my first venture into the books of Harold Coyle. After struggling through this book, it may be my last. However, looking through my wonderful pile books to read, I see I have The Ten Thousand. That one may have to sit for awhile, until my literary palette is cleansed.
I felt this story never got going and the premise seemed promising, but ultimately weak. The book had the feeling that the author didn’t care to write it either, especially considering it is nearly 400 pages. There was no character that I cared for or got to know. Some of the dialogue was atrocious (Martha Whitney; the use of “dude”).
It was a good look into the private military companies, and the setting in Chad was at least something I hadn’t read show more before.
Glad I only paid $1.00 for it. Hope The Ten Thousand will key an interest for more Coyle. show less
