Fields of Fire

A Matthew Redd Thriller

By: Ryan Steck

Narrated by: Chris Abell

Waiting to be deployed on a critical mission, elite Marine Raider Matthew Redd stops to help a stranger and wakes up hours later to learn his team was wiped out in an ambush. Unable to remember anything, Redd can’t deny the possibility that he’s somehow responsible for the information leak that led to the massacre. He’s given a deal to avoid a charge of treason, but it means walking away from the Corps and the life he loved.

As he faces his loss, Matty gets a cryptic message from his adoptive father, J. B.: “Trouble’s come knocking. . . . Might need your help.” He points his truck home to rural Montana, only to discover that J. B. is dead and the explanation for his death is far from satisfying. Determined to dig up the truth, Redd uncovers a dark global conspiracy with his hometown at the center and no team at his back―except one he might find among past friends, old enemies, and new allies, if he can figure out who to trust.

Well done !!

The book captured my attention at the beginning and I enjoyed it very much. Great story

mediocre

Good story line until you get near the end. the coincidences going on are just a little unbelievable. It seems a little far fetched the people responsible for so many things in the story are tied DIRECTLY to the main character. NO ONE is THAT unlucky. The things Redd did in his military service part of the story are great, but it doesn't carry on into the story. Very action packed beginning. Reader was mostly good, but at times, it's difficult to know when a different character is speaking.

Loved it

Was skeptical as how could the best critique of spy/thriller books be able to write anything that didnt have the same plot as all or some of the great books he has reviewed. After listening I’m more than impressed. Amazing book. Great characters great setting. Nailed it!

A Mish-mash of Plot Twists

Too many story themes borrowed from other novels of this genre. Shades of "The Terminal List", "Yellowstone", etc.

Good start, enjoyable

Good start to a new series for me. As a Vet enjoyed the background, the story was a bit contrived, though. Still, will try another.
