Rating: 4 out of 5

I don't have the box set, but have read each one as the came out.  I am one of those people who don't do reviews very often, but these books were worth a review.As I have read each of the books in the series, they have gotten consistently better in story line and in the writing.If you just want a quick, easy-reading, fun action book, then these are what you are looking for.  Not much fluff, just the story, characters and action.  The remind me a lot of the westerns I used to read (think Louis L'Amour).While I enjoy books written by authors like Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, James Rollins, Barry Eisler, etc., sometimes I want something that is lighter and easier to read, and these fit that roll very well.What I mean by this is that many books go into great detail (like the location the character is in, including history of notable buildings, details about the history of an area in a city, etc.) at times this makes them more of an effort to read.  While this information is generally interesting and "enriches" the book, it does take a little more effort to read the book.The Corps Justice series on the other hand, is stripped down to the core story and does not include a lot of these types of things, so it is really easy to pick up the book and run with it.  However, this does not mean that the books are any less entertaining to read, nor does it mean that the characters or the story lines are not well developed.In my opinion, Cooper has done a great job of balancing what is and is not necessary to have a good book that is easy and fun to read.Even the short storiesGod-Speed (A Corps Justice Short Story)andRunning (A Corps Justice Short Story)are fun to read and give you more insight into the main characters of the Corps Justice Series.
