BEYOND ALL LIMITS: America's No. 1 Assassin is Back in Action (Mark Cole Book 3) Kindle Edition

The USS Gerald R. Ford is America's newest and most powerful aircraft carrier, an incredible mobile weapons platform that can spread US influence across the globe. But just as she is about to enter joint exercises with the Chinese navy, there is a military coup which results in a new Chinese government led by the megalomaniacal General Wu, who immediately orders the launch of the feared 'Eastern Wind' anti-ship missile.

The strike leaves the US carrier crippled in the middle of the East China Sea, her crew of thousands held hostage by further missile strikes. The US military is unable to respond, leaving China free to attack and reclaim Taiwan, with other nations also in Wu's sights.

Due to the threat of nuclear reprisals, US President Ellen Abrams cannot order a conventional military response, and so she calls on Force One, a shadowy covert action group led by Mark Cole, to avert this global catastrophe.

Against tremendous odds, Force One must infiltrate China, a police state home to the world's largest standing military, and rescue the remaining members of her old government from the depths of Beijing's Forbidden City, while Cole also tries to assassinate General Wu.

But when the situation further deteriorates, rumors of the secret 'Great Wall' project are confirmed - under the remote Taihang mountains is a five thousand mile tunnel network hiding China's huge nuclear stockpile, which Wu now controls.

And Cole knows that if he doesn't stop the man in time, it won't be just the crew of the USS Ford that is at risk; the whole world will be threatened with total annihilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the pinnacle of action/adventure!

The title of this edition of the Mark Cole saga is extremely well named, Beyond All Limits! Our hero, Cole, endures more physical abuse than any man in existance and almost pays the ultimate price.
The pace is extremely fast and the action is non-stop as Cole and his team save the world once again. There are many plot twists that keep the storyline fresh from page to page.
So take your nitro pills because this story will definitely get your heart racing! Brannan has earned every one of the 5 Stars we award this novel!

Standard JT Brannan tale featuring superman Mark Cole continually escaping from impossible death scenarios. This story centers on a military coup in China followed by a take over of some Japanese islands and Taiwan. Of course, the U.S. government is powerless to respond, and Cole and his commando force are called on to rescue the situation.

These stories are over all pretty good, especially with Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn gone, although even Mitch Rapp seemed a little more realistic than Mark Cole. It will be interesting to see what Brannon does with his super hero in the future,

Mark Cole is the leader of a covert special ops group called Force One. If you've read J.T. Brannan's previous novels involving this same group, you know right from the start what you're going find: rock-'em-sock-'em action, lots of intrigue, multiple plots blending into one at the end, and a first-hand feeling of tension from the very first line. You are introduced to lots of people through these adventures and Brannan spends just enough time to flesh out these individuals so you feel as if you know how they're going to react when the fhit hits the san! Of course, you know that Cole and his cohorts are going to win the day but is exciting to read in detail exactly how that happens. This latest piece of work by Brannan is certainly not a let-down from the others in this series and I definitely found it to be very worthy of a full five-star rating.

I enjoy fast-paced stories that involve our military or defense of America. I really like the Mark Cole series. This is a good example of issues America could be facing with an out of control Chinese renegade regime. Four star, rather than five due to lack of proof-reading.

An excellent novel starring the series main character, known variously as Marc Cole. He is the leader of a covert organization of operators who are the elite of special forces assets of the United States. Trained to the top levels of special forces, the members are willing without reservation to give their lives for their country and their mission. The author is an outstanding story teller who sets an edge-of-seat tempo in the telling and creates and maintains his characters well. I highly recommend both the author and this book.

It only takes one egomaniac with a plan to put the world as we know it at risk, and this the premise is born. Once again Mark Cole must beat the odds to prevent global war.
Taut, compelling and well written this book is recommended.
