“Thriller writing at its best. Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that’s hard to put down.”–Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)“One of the best … Necessary)
“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
–Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
When nuclear waste is stolen by jihadists in the middle of the night from an unguarded New York City hospital, the police, in a frantic race against time, call in the FBI. Luke Stone, head of an elite, secretive, department within the FBI, is the only man they can turn to. Luke realizes right away that the terrorists’ aim is to create a dirty bomb, that they seek a high-value target, and that they will hit it within 48 hours.
A cat and mouse chase follows, pitting the world’s most savvy government agents versus its most sophisticated terrorists. As Agent Stone peels back layer after layer, he soon realizes he is up against a vast conspiracy, and that the target is even more high value than he could have imagined—leading all the way to the President of the United States.
With Luke framed for the crime, his team threatened and his own family in danger, the stakes could not be higher. But as a former special forces commando, Luke has been in tough positions before, and he will not give up until he finds a way to stop them—using any means necessary.
Twist follows twist as one man finds himself up against an army of obstacles and conspiracies, pushing even the limits of what he can handle, and culminating in a shocking climax.
A political thriller with heart-pounding action, dramatic international settings, and non-stop suspense, ANY MEANS NECESSARY marks the debut of an explosive new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.
Book #2 in the Luke Stone series is also now available!

Boy there are parts in this story you can hardly read fast enough and the suspense is intense. For those who like crime fiction, thriller you will love this book
Jack Mars tends to grab your imagination and run with it. This will give you an ideas of what is going on in the world around us. Not sure a lot of it was not fiction, that’s how convincing he is as a writer. One of the best books I’ve read.
I totally loved this book! Made hard too put in down!
I love Mars books…great read
Enjoyed the read. Now I’m wondering what all goes on behind the curtains of government!!
Love the characters and the author’s writing style.
LOVED THE SERIES, REAL PAGE TURNERS
Nice read.
It was a good read.
Any Means Necessary by Jack Mars: the first book in the Luke Stone series is a political suspense thriller. The book has lots of action, violence, machination and conspiracy, which are all exciting. It also has a cliff hanger which is disappointing.
Wow what an action packed thriller this was. It had been in my TBR pile for too long . I only wish I had read it before.
This book is awesome. I literally couldn’t put it down. So much going on . It puts James Bond and Jason Bourne to shame. Luke is my kind of action hero. Full on and taking no prisoners.
I can’t recommend it enough . You can be sure I’m reading book 2 now!!!
Kept my interest through out
This was a great book
This is a political thriller with plenty of action and twists along the way. The book does end with some unresolved questions – not sure if they are answered in the next book or in a book after that. I must say that I actually liked the character Ed Newsam a little better than the lead – Luke Stone. Some of the portions of the story were a bit of a stretch for me.
Love this author because of the way he weaves the characters in and out of the plot. Great read.
I enjoyed reading this book
