ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date August 31, 2020
In Alaska, a lethal threat is unearthed from the frozen ground. Near Maui, a shipwrecked submarine holds a frightening secret, and on the California coast, war veteran Jake Wolfe races against time to uncover a conspiracy.
When a master plan emerges that has the potential not only to threaten Jake’s city, but to kill off targeted populations around the world, Jake embarks on a desperate search-and-destroy mission in order to protect the lives of everyone he knows and cares for. His target? A group of rogue operatives planning mass murder.
With assassins on his trail, and the clock ticking, Jake must trace the path that will finally bring him face-to-face with the psychopathic genius who wants to remake the world.
Deadly Weapon is part of a series, but may be read as a stand-alone novel.
•••••••
REVIEW: DEADLY WEAPON is the fifth instalment in Mark Nolan’s contemporary, adult JAKE WOLFE military, suspense thrillers focusing on former combat Marine, Above Top Secret clandestine Black Ops specialist and attorney Jake Wolfe, and Marine IED detector dog Cody. DEADLY WEAPON can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.
Told from third person perspective DEADLY WEAPON follows Jake Wolfe as he is tasked with stopping a mad man from releasing a biological weapon that could destroy the planet’s population. Jake Wolfe is a peripheral member of a covert group within the Secret Service known as the POETs, and a such our hero finds himself part of a counter-terrorism team to prevent rogue operatives from working directly with a group known as The Society, an international network of billionaires who believe themselves the elite of humanity, hoping to rid the world of human vermin. Always one step behind or in the direct line of fire, Jake, his Military War dog Cody, and their cohorts must prevent the creation and release of a bio-weapon with the ability to destroy all of mankind while trying to keep themselves out of harm’s way.
Using the backdrop of the 1918 pandemic and Chronic Wasting Disease among other horrific viral possibilities DEADLY WEAPON does little to disguise the similarities and conspiracies surrounding the current pandemic of 2020 even referencing the deadliest pandemic in history, and its’ connection to what is now known as Wuhan China. The action-packed story line is rife with military weaponry and tactics, covert but not infallible operations and specialists, and the heart pounding suspense of what if and how.
Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in previous instalments including Jake’s handlers with the US government Secret Service Agent Shannon McKay; Jake’s love interest, Veterinarian Sarah Chance; Lieutenant Terrell Hayes; Secret Service agents Yvonne Greene and Easton; former Marine Tuktu aka Caribou, as well as Cody the wonder dog; Black Hawk helicopter pilot Ron Thomsen; microbiologist Joselyn Palmer, and Dr. Klein. The requisite evil has many faces.
DEADLY WEAPON is a fast paced, exciting, thriller with danger, death, and drama. Mark Nolan pulls the reader in to a pulse-pounding adventure of the hypothetical but very real possibility of the destruction of man-kind.
