Lethal Strike (A Derek Vesper Action Thriller—Book 2)

"Thriller writing at its best." --Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary) LETHAL STRIKE (Book #2) is the second book in a gripping new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with LETHAL FORCE (Book #1). Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis. Assumed to be KIA in a firefight, Derek, unknown to anyone, uses his unique skills as a secret government operator to work outside the scope of protocol and to embrace the most dangerous—and fraught—of missions…. In LETHAL STRIKE (Book #2), as a sabotaged cargo ship loaded with experimental weapons barrels toward the Eastern Seaboard, Derek Vesper has one impossible option: chase it down through hurricane waters. As communications fail and mercenaries close in, the deadliest storm may be the one waiting on deck. The Derek Vesper series delivers pulse-racing thrills and knife-edge suspense that seizes your attention with an iron grip. Featuring spectacular action sequences and mind-blowing twists, this series will propel you through a rollercoaster ride, from dynamite openings to jaw-dropping finales. Ideal for readers who love the works of Daniel Silva, Brad Taylor, and Vince Flynn. Future books in the series are also available! "Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that‘s hard to put down." --Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary) "One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
