Reckoning: A Military Thriller Where the Mission Won’t Die Quietly

They stole the drone tech and burned the refugee camp. He plans to return the favor. West Africa is already a tinderbox when Captain Frank Sherman touches down. A refugee camp lies in ruins. Experimental U.S. drone tech is missing. And someone’s doing everything they can to make sure Sherman’s team never comes home. But Sherman doesn’t rattle. From jihadist hideouts in Mali to the blood-slick back rooms of Accra, he hunts the truth behind a conspiracy that spans warlords, corrupt officials, and mercenary ghosts. The body count rises. The lies get thicker. And Sherman? He only moves one way—forward, with a rifle and a reason. Reckoning is the second hard-hitting installment in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Series—where covert ops meet conspiracy, and justice always has a cost. Fans of Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Jack Ryan will find a new obsession in Sherman’s relentless warpath. _________________________________________Praise for the Frank Sherman Thrillers series:? ? ? ? ?
