Kolt Raynor wants to get back into the good graces of Delta Force, even if it kills him. His bad decision on an earlier case caused deaths and his ejection from the unit. Now a terrorist has purchased missiles, and, after a test run shooting down a plane over Europe, he has set his sights on the U.S. Raynor has to work with former teammates who don't trust him, and with newcomers who might be too raw to rely on. And the clock is ticking. Author Fury is a Delta Force alum, so he knows what's he talking about and how to give his narrative a sense of authenticity. Raynor comes across as unlikable in the beginning, but as the story progresses, he becomes a hero worth rooting for. The relentless action and the scary scenario make this a quality read for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. Copyright 2012 Booklist Reviews. - Kirkus Reviews : Kirkus Reviews 2012 October #1
Fury (Black Site, 2012, etc.) again enlists gung-ho Delta Force Maj. Kolt "Racer" Raynor for anti-terrorist action, and this time the threat involves missiles and airliners rather than forted-up bad guys on the ground. With the once-cashiered Racer cautioned about the maverick decisions that got him canned, the major and team are HALO-dropped into India, where an airliner has been hijacked. Forced to land on the 767 as it moves onto the runway, the four harpoon their way into the cabin and dispose of the bad guys. Team member Stitch has a finger shot off in the melee. That leaves Racer, Digger and Slapshot to detour to chaotic Libya and extract a U.N. investigator who has uncovered post-revolution looting of Igla-S shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. Curtis, CIA on station, doesn't like Racer's rough-and-tumble solution. No problem, since the U.N. geek is safe. Racer's team is then sent to Cairo because a former agent from Libya's nefarious Jamahiriya Security Organization, Aref Saleh, has gone rogue and is distributing the airplane-killers to bad guys. In Cairo, Racer's team liaisons with a resentful Curtis, and things go south because of lackadaisical CIA Operations Security. Enter David Wade Doyle, aka Daoud al-Amriki, California boy turned jihadist. Racer and al-Amriki met in Pakistan during the mission that earned Racer's return to Delta. Now, al-Amriki is in Yemen training English-speaking jihadists to infiltrate the U.S. and bring down airliners with the Igla-S missiles. There's more scoop about Delta Team operations in this Fury effort and a separate narrative about female members joining the Joint Special Operations Command, with Cindy Bird, code name Hawk, sent on the Egyptian reconnoiter. The bad guys get missiles into Mexico but are stymied at Nuevo Laredo in a messy Racer-led firefight. All but al-Amriki are KIA. Posse Comitatus keeps Delta from in-country operation, but Racer and recuperating fellow officer TJ, another Delta who hates al-Amriki, take leave to D.C. and tie up a perfect-coincidence termination. Action-adventure from an author who's been at the sharp end of the spear. Copyright Kirkus 2012 Kirkus/BPI Communications.All rights reserved. - Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 2012 May #1
The senior ranking military officer at the Battle of Tora Bora, Fury had a nonfiction best seller with Kill bin Laden; Black Site, his just-published fiction debut, is being embraced by fans. Here, after a SEAL Team Six mission fails to eliminate a terrorist group shepherded by American al-Qaeda commander Daoud al Amriki, Black Site's Kolt Raynor is called to the task.

Fury has impressive credentials for writing about a frantic effort to ward off a terrorist mega-attack, having served as the senior ranking military officer at the Battle of Tora Bora and helped plan the operation that took out Bin Laden. Nevertheless, his fast-paced second Delta Force novel starring Kolt "Racer" Raynor (after 2012's Black Site) reads like countless other post-9/11 fictional accounts of maverick covert U.S. operatives. In the dramatic opening, Raynor and his team attempt a daring hostage rescue from a hijacked plane set to take off from New Delhi. After the dust settles from that operation, his focus turns to al-Qaeda leader Daoud al-Amriki, recently identified as American renegade David Wade Doyle, who has just closed on the purchase of 60 antiaircraft missiles. While, unsurprisingly, nothing rings false, readers won't necessarily feel as if they're experiencing exactly what the real Delta Force does. Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group. (Oct.)
