The only person still in his corner is the president maybe because he had saved her life several times.

   As the result of a dyslexic condition, my son, who’s now 31, and I started downloading and listening to Audible books 16 years ago. We’ve now downloaded and listened to over 1,500 books. Since action-centered thriller novels are our favorite, we’re both constantly looking for the next great author who can provide us with believable heroic characters centered within exciting and and interesting storylines. We’ve now read all of the books (in some cases over 25+ books) from almost all of the popular writers in this genre. After downloading and listening the first book in Jack Mars’ “Luke Stone” Series, Any Means Necessary, my son and I immediately decided to purchase, download and read the remaining 6 books in the Series. Needless to say, we feel like we’ve found our newest “great author” and storyteller!; Jack Mars. Having now finished all 7 books in the Luke Stone series, the best Review that we can provide to Jack Mars is to say that we’re going into our online bookstore right now to purchase and download all of the other 18 books in his two other series; the “Forging of Luke Stone/Primary” Series and the “Kent Steele/Agent Zero” Series.

     Have you read any of Mark Dawson books?
     His series character is John Milton, and, I think there are up to twenty books very much in the Mitch Rapp, Brad Taylor type genre.
