Modeen: Rules of Engagement #7 – After a long wait, I was excited to find out there is a new addition to the Modeen Series. There is a visit to past ops, which ties several old storylines with the new storylines along with several old characters. There is a lot of intrigue and suspense in the problems faced by Modeen and gang. Immersed in the well-defined characters and their interesting, realistic dialogues and their thoughts and actions, I did not put the book down until I finished the last page. Oh dear, now it is another long wait for the next addition; hopefully, there is a next one.
Unlike many of the military/action books published nowadays, this author actually knows what he is writing about and there is definitely no Hollywood in his work. His descriptions are clear leaving no doubt about anything; good details without going to a basic, simplistic level. Even the uninformed reader will understand the jargon, the equipment and the mindset of military and the military elite. Do start with the first book and read them sequentially to get the best experience and understanding the foundation that each book builds upon, but any can be read as a standalone. Warning, if you are new to the series, this gives a lot of spoilers about the past books. I forgot where I found this author, AXP, I think, but since my discovery I contacted him to review his books. 5*
The Jo Modeen 1 – 3: Has a preview of the books, which I appreciate knowing what they’re about before I read them. Well written, fast paced and action packed storylines with intelligent, realistic characters and events. I actually believe the author knew what he was writing about unlike some “writers” today who are clueless about weapons, training and combat fighting and action, but are liked by readers who know even less. It’s easy to chain read the Modeen series without becoming bored or tired. Job well done, Jordan. I found this author through AXP and contacted him. 5*
