Excellent sequel

As usual, this was an excellent adventure mystery. It is a standalone novel, but it does help if you read the ones prior and in order. Looking forward to the next book.

One of the best so far!

I love the character development in this series. Humor, drama, intrigue and just enough tactical info keep me wanting more.

Why bring Gail back?

I love this book series but Gail is the most annoying character ever she is so self righteous and moral high ground standing she is a buzzkill. And the Law Enforcement pseudo worship can be a but disingenuous some Cops need to be shot and or put down, but Gail could have stayed gone in my opinion. But they should make a tv series off these books

Great Story - each minute exciting

Great suspense from minute one till the end. Each book is good as a standalone but better as a series. The writing and story has improved continuously. The narration is perfect and fits each character. Must listen!

...one of Gilstrap's best Jonathan Grave stories.

Audiobook Review - Final Target - John Gilstrap/Basil Sands
As an author of action/suspense thrillers, John Gilstrap is consistently good at writing consistently good stories, especially with his Jonathan Grave series. Book 9, “Final Target” in the series is an outstanding listen. It is set mostly in Mexico where a murderous drug kingpin kills people for his own entertainment. In this story, Jonathan Grave and his partner ‘Boxers’, are sent to Mexico to rescue a DEA agent kidnapped by a drug cartel. After retrieving the federal agent, they are then hunted them down by the drug lord while trying to escape. They take refuge in an orphanage and later try to escape again but this time with the orphanage children in tow because Grave knows the children will be killed if left behind. There is a bit of conflict between Grave and Boxers because Boxers’ priority is to save the ‘precious cargo’ (PC) - the DEA agent and Grave can't leave children behind to die. Gilstrap developed a richer character of ‘Scorpion’, code name for Grave in this tale and a more sensitive and emotional character for ‘Big Guy’ (Boxers) as well. Their character development fir this narrative was very well done without either losing any of their ‘badass’ attitude. I love this storyline with its twist and turns, suspense, and action. The pace complimented the plot and the ending was explosive! Basil Sands is does another superb job in narrating. Again, Gilstrap’s Jonathan Grave series is consistently good and Final Target is proof of the consistency.
