MWSA Review
In his Chase Harper thriller, Savage Remorse, author Macklin Grey has given us a fast-moving, military thriller. Chase, a US Army captain, is wanted in Germany for two murders that were really acts of self-defense. He flees Germany and ends up in an elite mercenary unit called the Detachment that is helping the Congolese government against a rebel army that wants to overthrow it. Things go as smoothly as one might expect until the president of the Congo dies and is replaced by his incompetent son. Compounding this incompetence, the young president's key advisor is betraying him and the country. As the advisor and the rebels take aim at eliminating the Detachment, Chase develops two unlikely allies: a female reporter that he rescues and the newly assigned US Defense attaché. Chase and the Detachment are soon caught in the crosshairs of the enemy as the rebels close in on the country's capital.
I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates military thrillers.
Review by Bob Doerr
Author's Synopsis
Chase Harper knows one truth—in the Congo, nothing is what it seems.
Haunted by war, Chase Harper fights with the Détachment—a mercenary unit bound by loyalty and survival. When a massacre shocks the world, the unit is framed for the crime, and the hunters become the hunted.
Betrayed and cut off from every ally, Harper fights to expose a conspiracy that runs from the heart of the jungle to the highest levels of government—where someone will do anything to bury the truth and start a war no one can control. As comrades fall, Harper must decide how far he’ll go to make it out alive—and what part of himself he’ll have to leave behind.
Savage Remorse is a relentless thriller of betrayal and endurance, from the award–winning author of The Black Raven’s Song.
