“How could you spend a week fighting alongside somebody then ask him to wade into the fray and provide cover for you to make your escape?”
Silent Horizons opens with a bang! The quote above shows Foster Quinn’s loyalty to his brothers-in-arms and how he worked in a team. And then he finds himself alone. On a solo mission, he must scout and procure the items crucial to a SEAL unit’s mission. His best friend’s death fueled his desire for revenge, which made this a great military thriller. I didn’t think he’d make it out alive.
Things that could be improved: There were some moments that the story slipped into omniscient pov. In addition, Foster claims he understood what Seth was saying one paragraph above before vocalizing that he didn’t understand the philosophy. All in all this was a great start to a series.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.
