Exciting action with the new members of the HRT, Fruen, Stevens, and Rupert, their K9 partner!
The Beginning…
Stevens was on his last assignment before finishing his tour in Afghanistan, he and his K9 partner, Rupert were working as overwatch for the movement of a prisoner for an FBI HRT team. While on the assignment things went a little haywire and both Stevens and Rupert were injured. Stevens was worried; he and Rupert had been partners for the last 12 months, he was not sure what he was going to do without him now that his tour was up. This injury to Rupert meant that it would be his last too. While he was sitting by Rupert’s hospital bed, the agent that he had been working with, FBI Agent Kiley, stopped in and told him that he would do all he could to get Rupert assigned to him. The other thing he brought up was that if he got tired of laying around, the FBI HRT would welcome him and Rupert aboard.

What did I like? I am not sure how I managed to get a short story called “The Last Assignment” but after I finished reading it, I just knew that I had to read the rest of this author’s work. I downloaded these three novellas in the Critical Incident series and realized that I should have started with his other series, An FBI Thriller, which at this point has two books in it. I am currently reading book one, “The Ninth District”, which is about Agent Fruen’s first assignment with the FBI. I had to force myself to stop reading so that I could work on the reviews.
What will you like? These are short reads, but they will capture your attention from the first to the last. I highly recommend that you start with the FBI Thriller series, but it is not necessary. All three are filled with humor, compassion, excitement, and intrigue. Each features a different assignment that will have you on the edge of your seat. All are excellent reads that I am sure you will enjoy. The great thing about all of these is, every one of them is on Kindle Unlimited and available NOW!
