Out of the ashes of defeat comes a brand new mission.Who will survive?Forced to change their names just to survive, Former CIA Agents Piper Morgan and Reed Decklin fled the frozen tundra of Alaska to take refuge in the mountains of Wyoming. With their new identities in place, Sidney Morgan and Kaiden Bennett join the recently-formed Strike Force in order to bring down the deadly terrorist team … the deadly terrorist team known only as Legion. But how can you win against an enemy that will stop at nothing to fulfill its deadly plot?
The one good thing to come out of the attack in Alaska was Sidney and Kaiden found each other again. As their love grows stronger, nothing prepares them or the team for the magnitude of Legion’s plan, or how far up the command chain Legion’s reach truly goes. Even to some of the highest offices of government.
In this sequel to the USA Today Bestselling story, Storm Warnings, the Strike Force team is determined to finish the mission that started two years earlier in the deserts of Afghanistan with the deaths of Sidney’s entire CIA unit.
With the stakes, this high, failure isn’t an option. Because if they fail, the freedom of the entire world might just be in jeopardy.
From USA Today Bestselling author Mary Alford comes a brand new series entitled Courage Under Fire.

The title gives a clue to what happens in this intense thriller. A powerful group called Legion wants to take control not only of the United States, but of the world. They have infiltrated the highest levels and are ruthless about carrying out their goals. Displaced American Patriots have joined forces to fight these deadly foes, but will they survive long enough to make a difference? The compelling short novel is rife with excitement and will keep you tearing through the pages to see what happens next. I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.
Strike Force is a group of men and women that are former military, and or government agents that have gone undercover, some even with new identities because they are assumed dead by the enemy. The enemy is Legion, high government members from the US as well as other countries. Legion is intent on taking over the world by whatever means that they can. Chemical, nuclear, whatever it takes. Strike Force has their “hands” full so to speak. Sidney and Kaiden were the two main characters and easy to like. Dangerous situations were constantly being faced by them and the team. At first glance the book looked intimidating with its thickness and the cover picture, but I found it read quickly in its double spaced format. I couldn’t wait to get to the end to see how they were going to defeat Legion, or not, but was surprised to see that there was not a conclusion. There are three more books in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author but was not required to write a review.
This series was my first experience with Mary Alford’s writings. The story is one that you have to pay close attention to because you don’t want to miss anything! Be sure to start with the 2 prequels!
The world as we know it will never be the same…
Wow, I really didn’t see this story coming! If I didn’t know better I’d almost swear Strike Force was ripped from today’s headlines! Then again, who knows how much of this stuff is really going on beyond the knowledge of the average American. Anyway, Mary Alford has a strong start to her Courage Under Fire series with this novel.
Strike Force is a short, easy, read coming in at around 135 pages. It’s almost reminiscent of a serial story with each ‘chapter’ in its own book. Although this is book one in the Courage Under Fire series I do recommend reading Storm Warnings from Mary Alford first. I didn’t and I know I would have been able to catch on faster to certain elements of the story if I had.
Strike Force was a good read with plenty of action, adventure, intrigue, betrayal, and yes, definitely some romance. It was fun taking a break from the usual longer romantic suspense novels and I find myself looking forward to the next book in Mary Alford’s new series…
(I received a copy of this book from the author. All opinions are entirely my own.)
This is book one in the Courage Under Fire Series, however, there is a prequel to this as well as another book that tells how the whole thing started. I didn’t read them and I was able to read this one and figure the whole thing out so it isn’t necessary to read them unless you just want to. It is full of on the edge of your seat suspense, surprises and a little romance thrown in for a fantastic Romantic Suspense book. It does end with a cliff hanger that will be expanded in the next book. And there will not be a long wait for it as the next installment releases in February 2020. If you have never read any of Mary Alford’s books do yourself a favor and pick this one up. You won’t regret it. I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
this is a page turning story piper and reed have survived the last attack but can they figure out who the person is that is leaking info to the bad guys. if you like suspense with some romance you will want to read the book I was given a copy of the book but this is an honest review.
Such a great page turner. Hard to put down. Sidney, a former CIA agent has every reason to be scared and to hide herself away, after all she was framed as a traitor and nearly killed. But with Kaiden’s love and the rest of her comrades by her side, it helps her to fight against the threat that can change world history.
Action, excitement, mystery, fear, surprise elements and love are all found in this fast paced story. The main characters must trust each other and rely on faith to survive and help save others. I held my breath and was surprised at times. Great read. I received a complimentary copy of the book. No review was required.
Edge of your seat and hair raising to boot. This book is so very well written with lots of energy. Will everyone survive? Highly recommend.
Oh my goodness. this book had me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to put it down. The one question that had me asking the whole book was how deep does Legion go? and will they ever get caught. I really loved Piper she felt beat down but never seem to give up she wanted to keep fighting and trying to save as many people as she could. Reed was a gentle soul but continued the fight with Piper and ever sometime would try and get her step back but she kept fighting which really added to the story because no matter what they faced they did it together. I loved the Strike force team I have my thoughts on one member but I don’t want to ruin it. So read it and tell me if you think you might know who I’m talking about. This book is a good clean read and you can’t go wrong.
Strike Force grabs a hold of the reader on page one and never lets go! The main characters are very likable and admirable. I enjoyed that their faith was woven naturally into the story. The romantic part of the story is tied up, but the battle against the conspiracy is entering another phase. The plot has twists and turns and moves at a fast pace. I highly recommend this book and plan to read the series. I received a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this excellent book.
Strike Force

Action packed from beginning to end. Keeps you up late reading it.
I love the characters and want them to have happy ever afters. I was so glad of the wedding, but boy what a way to end. Suspense filled story that is sprinkled with romance.I liked the way you ended it, but am looking for the rest of the story. SO glad the next book will be out fairly soon after this one. It flowed well and the action connected everything together. I am wondering now who is the snitch in their group. How are they being found out and hunted down?There are enough questions that I will definitely have to read the next one to find out answers and I am sure will lead to more questions that will be answered down the line.
One you can’t miss.
