Sentinel By Mark Greaney

Intense, propulsive and fueled by non-stop action, Sentinel is a cinematic nail-biting balls-to-the-wall thrill ride.  Mark Greaney only writes bangers, and this is just the latest example.

Ghana is the most stable democracy in Africa.  That is, until a Chinese MSS plot is launched to enact a coup using local rebels, jihadists and a band of ruthless mercenaries.  But what they didn’t count on was running into Josh Duffy, the newest member of the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service team in country.  While attempting to thwart the initial stage of the attack and get his protectees out of the line of fire, he recognizes one of the mercs from his past.  Kicking off a personal battle that threatens everything Josh loves and requiring every bit of skill and operational intelligence he possesses to save the day…and his family. 

The star of this book is Josh Duffy, an accomplished and flawed man with combat experience that has left him with a prosthetic leg.  He is haunted by past missions but is able to put that aside to support his family and do his job at a high level.  And nothing less than his best will do in Sentinel given he’s up against a capable, motivated and unscrupulous enemy that’s part of an intricately planned operation with military, psychological and social media aspects designed to install a new leader of Ghana.  But as the old sayings go:  everyone has a plan until they’re punched in the mouth, and, the enemy gets a vote.  And in this case, Josh Duffy packs one hell of a punch and votes with extreme violence of action.

Combining a cunning plot with brilliantly constructed action-sequences, Sentinel is sure to thrill and delight military thriller fans.  Guaranteed to result in fist pumps, exclaiming “oh shit” and “hell yeah” multiple times, and leaving a satisfied smile on each reader’s face.
