Publishers Weekly
Special Agents Eli Tanner and Ashley Sutton are at it again in Scott's latest action thriller (Solemn Duty; Forged in Honor). To settle an old score, ex-Navy SEAL Ted Faircloud recruits two men to help him kill Cuban drug lord Carlos Mendez, but Tanner and Sutton are also hot on Mendez's trailand in far more danger than they realize. Scott deftly weaves the story together with his usual mix of techno-military jargon and unabashed romance, and while the dialogue often lapses into stereotype (" `I'm a bad SF sergeant with years of experience snoopin' and poopin' "), the end result is a compulsively readable tale well worth the necessary suspension of disbelief.
