Summary
“Jason Kasper’s American Mercenary series boils with bold action, exotic locales, and spellbinding intrigue.” (Mark Greaney, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Gray Man series)
From former Special Forces officer Jason Kasper comes a gripping set of thrillers for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. Now an international best seller.
Book 1: Greatest Enemy
Army Ranger David Rivers enters the covert underworld of ex-special operators for hire. His new team serves a faceless mastermind known as the Handler. But as the stakes continue to rise, he learns that his new employer is more ruthless than anyone he's faced in combat - and he just might be David's greatest enemy.
Book 2: Offer of Revenge
David Rivers wants vengeance. But to get it, he must join the secretive organization that slaughtered the only family he had. Sent into battle against a savage force of enemy fighters in Somalia, David realizes that someone inside the organization seems to know his true purpose...and has been waiting for him all along.
Book 3: Dark Redemption
The path to revenge leads David Rivers into a labyrinth of twisted loyalties in the violent slums of Rio de Janeiro - where he learns the betrayal of his team was just the beginning. And nothing in David’s murderous past can prepare him for what happens when he finally meets his greatest enemy face-to-face.
Perfect for fans of Mark Greaney, and Brad Taylor.

Bad editing
Not sure who checked the quality of the editing. The audio/recording environment clearly changes and the sound is so tinny and echoey it distracts from the story. Sounds picky of me but it really was distracting. Surely this is something that should have been tidied up

What it does well, it does very well but ….
David Rivers had no illusions about being an adrenaline junkie, thriving as a gun-for-hire because he considered himself despicable. Yet, he was an appealing protagonist and I especially enjoyed the dark recesses of his mind because I have never explored suicide ideation in quite this way before. The big bucks went into evoking the international locations, fight choreography, base jumping, weapons, missions and wow, wow, wow! Pity that David’s motivation was beyond flimsy making his inner monologues redundant by Book 3. I also did not care that women were written as whores or damsels and with identical story beats. By not fleshing out the Handler | Greatest Enemy so that David’s mission mattered, the cliffhanger ending irritated. Regardless, this was worth the credit!
David’s voice was the narrator’s own rich, resonant bass. With inner monologues, Adam Gold imbued a knowing self-deprecation that fit David’s inner voice. When David had conversations, the vocal acting accurately portrayed the emotional intensity (anger, fear, desperation etc.) to whatever David articulated. With flash backs, the narrator added an echo sound effect to convey David reminiscing. Finally, as David was electronically communicating while on mission, a radio voice effect added authenticity. Adam’s vocal variety kept David’s single POV first-person narrative entertaining enough to gasp, cheer and smile even as the story shifted from thrills to meh. The narrator's character portrayals and accent work for the international cast was pitch perfect. Bless Mr. Gold for making the women sound more interesting than they were written! His performance, without question, elevated American Mercenary.
