More Reviews
“Half Staff 2018 opens at breakneck pace with a series of terrorist attacks that lead a thrilling hunt to uncover the perpetrators in order to bring them to justice and stop further attacks. The story is believable, fast paced, well researched and fascinating enough that I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. The characters are more fully developed than a Brad Thor novel, and the background information about government agencies, civilian contractors, and the contract process is as well researched as a Tom Clancy novel. This is a thoroughly well written novel that is thrilling, thought provoking, and all too plausible.”
“The reader will soon be aware of how deep the current of terrorism is in our country. And, how long it has taken to put plans in place to topple our government. Our main hero is Dan Steele who has retired from SEAL Team 2 the day before some massive carnage occurs in Chesapeake Bay. And, yes this carnage will spur him on in hopes of defeating this new enemy within our borders.”
“From the very beginning the action is packed in every chapter to challenge any Tom Clancy fan! I cannot wait for the sequel to follow – please speed up the writing process, please!”
“Fast paced thriller. Morse has a wonderful sense of place and his characters and situations are believable (before 9/11/2001 I’m not sure I might have said the same). Best $4.99 I ever spent on Amazon!”
“John Morse has made good use of his experience as a career U.S. Navy officer in crafting this story of mass terrorism and insider treachery. The characters are believable, the locales are authentically described, and the events are all too plausible. Fans of geopolitical action thriller writers like Vince Flynn, Barry Eisler or David Baldacci will enjoy Morse’s book, which is sure to be first in a series.”
