An electrifying new novel from the bestselling author of Crimson Phoenix, perfect for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor! Black Ops veteran Jonathan Grave is back and pursuing two missing American teens kidnapped and hidden in Mexico’s dark underworld…where he finds himself caught in the center of a vendetta he never expected.
 
A BookBub Top Thriller of Summer

El Paso, Texas, is a battleground. It’s an open market for Mexican drug cartels to sell their wares. It’s also a destination for teens looking for fun. Venice Alexander’s fourteen-year-old son Roman was there on a school trip. Now, he and a fellow student have vanished without a trace.
 
Assuming the kidnapping is retaliation for his past incursions against Mexico’s crime syndicates, Jonathan Grave leads his covert operatives to rescue their teammate’s son. But the trail Jonathan follows leads him down unexpected paths where he ends up in the crossfire of a deadly vendetta…

“[Gilstrap’s] greatest strength is the ability to blend breathtaking action with deep emotion regarding the characters.”
—Jeffery Deaver

“Gilstrap pushes every thriller button.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

"A great hero, a really exciting series."
—Joseph Finder

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When John Gilstrap's first novel, Nathan's Run, hit the market in 1996, it set the literary world on fire. Publication rights sold in 23 countries, the movie rights were scooped up at auction by Warner Brothers, and John changed professions. A safety engineer by training and education, he specialized in explosives and hazardous materials, and also served 15 years in the fire and rescue service, rising to the rank of lieutenant.

That "first" book was really his fourth, and that one call from an agent (after logging 27 rejections) changed the trajectory of his life. Twenty books and seven movie projects later, it's been a good run, and it's still running. But his career track looks more like a sine curve than a rocket ship. There were lots of setbacks along the way. At one point, his writing career appeared to be dead. Then came the comeback.

John's presentation, "Dare to Dream", tells the story of triumph, disappointment, despair and finally some long-lasting success.

John has spoken at events across the country, most recently at the Pike's Peak Writers Conference in Colorado Springs, and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers in Denver. In February, he will be the keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the California Association of Teachers of English in Los Angeles. His YouTube channel, "A Writer's View of Writing and Publishing" has over 1,700 subscribers and more are coming aboard every day.

Outside of his writing life, John is a renowned safety expert with extensive knowledge of explosives, hazardous materials, and fire behavior. John lives in Fairfax, VA.

His the third time working my way through the Jonathon Grave series. Each book is exciting and the plots move fast. Hard to stop reading once you have started and the books seem to end too fast!
If you are looking for a lot of action and intrigue, this is the series for you!

The story line was very good and held my attention. I would have loved to have given this book 5 stars but the errors within this book really upset me. How is it that the books printed before the age of MICROSOFT WORD had little to no errors. Now with grammar correction and dictionaries on our computers, there are thousands of more errors than you would think possible in the printed text. I'm very sorry but this pisses me off greatly.

I love the entire Jonathan Grave series. I enjoy the team members character background. One can only hope there are retired team members, that are keeping the world safer, just as the people in these books. I would recommend the series to anyone who enjoys a well developed, fast paced read.

This is one of the most entertaining books I’ve ever read. This is my first time reading a book by John Gilstrap. I was browsing around for something to read in the line of espionage or special operations. I chanced upon 'Stealth Attack', which seemed to fit what I was looking for. I did a cursory reading to get a feel for the writing style and story line. I was immediately roped into the narrative and so continued reading non-stop.

I found Gilstrap's style smooth and direct. He quickly went to the heart of the matter that’s in every parent’s DNA, anxiety over a child’s whereabouts and, God forbids, their worst nightmare if it involves a kidnapping.

I loved reading 'Stealth Attack' for the insights into special operations and the fact that the narrative is contemporaneous with global concerns of human trafficking and drug cartels. In this way Gilstrap gives us an inside peek into the deadly culture of drug cartels. It is obvious that Gilstrap did thorough and timely research for this novel. This is why I found his narrative so realistic. I felt much empathy for his main characters and their mission.

I am now hooked and have added John Gilstrap to my list of favourite authors.

I'm sure many have pondered how a rescue might look if the PC is on of their own. We all worried about Roman ever since the first break in of Rez House. Liked that it didn't happen as I'd thought. Always figured he would be taken at home. Good story on Venice too, on how she responded. I liked that Gail before more emotional too and we even got a bit of Mama in there.

Jonathan Grave (Digger) and Brian Van de Muelebroecke (Boxers) are at it again in John Gilstrap’s entertaining, action-packed series about the off-the-books ex-military duo who are tasked with resolving one more kidnapping. Only this time it’s personal. Venice Alexander, a.k.a. Mother Hen, shows up at Jonathan’s office completely distraught and uncharacteristically unsure of herself. Venice’s son Roman is missing.
On a clandestine adventure with his new girlfriend, Roman and Ciara are grabbed, shackled, and shoved into a car transporting them to Mexico. Jonathan is no stranger to the powerful drug cartels as he has wreaked havoc to their operations more than once. He fears this is reprisal for those missions.
Jonathan and his crew find themselves caught in a vendetta unrelated to his previous Mexican incursions, but no less deadly. They rush to find and rescue Roman and his friend before they are injured or…they don’t even want to think about what might happen.
Gilstrap spins a daring tale tugging your emotions along on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns that will find you having to stop periodically just to take a breath. Stealth Attack will capture you and bring you through an adventure into the Mexican landscape so engrossing you will feel the need to take a quick shower to clean off the dirt and blood at the end of the book.
Fortunately, another story is in the works. Lethal Prey will be the next visit with our friends at Security Solutions.

A little over the top but that’s in keeping with the series. Plot is sparse but sufficient action to maintain interest. Boxers remains, as always, the most interesting character. Compared to other Jonathan Graves novels, this one is a C+.

Good building of suspense by Gilstrap. The ending was somewhat abrupt. As the bad guys had been angering the reader the whole story, they deserved to get killed several times over or at least tormented somewhat. The sub idea was good. This is my second Gilstrap novel and both were very suspenseful.
