Lethal Horizon

A Thriller

By: Jason Kasper

Narrated by: Corey M. Snow

FROM FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER

For David Rivers and his team, the mission was supposed to be simple—retrieve a defecting militia leader and deliver him to CIA interrogators.

But nothing is simple in Yemen, where vast swaths of terrain are controlled by Houthi and Al Qaeda fighters. When they locate the asset, the team discovers why he has been deemed critical to their intelligence effort.

The defector has direct knowledge of the team’s top target: Erik Weisz, the shadowy figurehead behind the most catastrophic terrorist attacks since 9/11. And as it turns out, Weisz is currently in Yemen, traveling through Houthi territory with heavy security.

As David’s crew prepares for a follow-on operation to remove Weisz once and for all, they discover a web of contradictions. A sudden order to stand down leaves the unit questioning the motives of their CIA handler. With suspicious leadership and a deadly conspiracy looming, the team boards a military aircraft to infiltrate the most dangerous corners of a war-torn desert. David is convinced it will be their bloodiest mission yet—and within hours of being inserted deep into the badlands of Yemen, he and his team realize they are pawns in an exceedingly deadly game of chess.

More or less enjoyable

I like this series for the most part, and the tactics seem a lot more plausible than usual. Things like employing volume of fire, instead of perfect headshots every time.

However, The American Mercenary series is far superior to this one - it’s actually more of a fantasy series disguised as a.. whatever you call this stuff.

I really wish Rivers would have become the handler. The potential there is enormous.

Instead, he’s a lap dog for the CIA, running meaningless missions for nags who treat his team highly disrespectfully.

Trying to imagine killers permitting any level of disrespect, or micromanaging is.. impossible really. There would not be a second time.

This series, while interesting, is boring, and far more naive (propagandistic) than the American Mercenary series. The whole “terrorism” thing is for children.

Rivers as the handler, instead of a dog for the CIA. If that were the case, the CIA would be answering to him, one way or the other.

As the handler, he could still kill bad guys all the time. Much more effectively. With more guys. No rules. More money. I mean, why is he not the handler?

Plus, you could have the development of Langley into her full potential as the inheritor..

Rivers literally nuked a criminal syndicate in the last series. Now he’s being nagged and henpecked by bureaucrats.

I really miss the potential thrown away after the Mercenary series. Now it’s just the same mindless CIA nonsense.

That said, I still find the stories entertaining. If also maddening. Having your boss stalk you to a grocery store to meet you without your permission is another thing that should not end well for them.

I actually miss the original handler too. Loved that guy. You can at least respect a boss like that guy..

Non stop action

Exciting and funny from beginning to end! It touches on many issues soldiers face after returning home in a serious but funny way .

fast and loose!

i loved it Jason Kasper and David Rivers always delivers! and the performance is amazing

Same great cast of killer hooliganism….

Glad to see David, Cancer, and Ian and the crew back for yet another banger. How about that shady boss? I had one of those, you didn’t know whether to snuff them out or grin and bear it

Another amazing read!

This series is awesome, and this is the best
book in the series yet! Jason Casper NEVER disappoints. Cannot wait for the next chapter of this story.
