Brief synopsis (no spoilers)
Brent Venturi is the former captain of the elite Phantom Squad military task force.

Why I chose this book

Suggestion from Amazon
My personal opinion (the review)

The book is clean, so that's refreshing. But it's also a bit cheesy and it jumps around in the story, to connect dots. It won't win "best series of the year", but I'm going to read the next one, and it was worth the $2 I paid for it.

Warnings

Movie rating equivalent

PG-13
Protagonist description

Brent is a walking contradiction. He is ex military, very black ops. But he's also a boring librarian. Full of internal conflict.
