WOW. This book just plain rocked and I LMAO through loads of the story. No shortage of comedy in this one.Starts out with kidnapping of a young girl. A girl who happens to be the niece of a US Senator, Frank Hokanson.Her kidnapper, Stanton Hughes, a serial killer if there ever was one, styles himself as a mountain man. He's in the woods somewhere with the little girl. She isn't the first little girl he's kidnapped and killed and she won't be the last unless he's caught or killed.Enter the FBI. Special Agents Jen Rutledge, Sam Barrington and Agent in Charge Diane Reskova are tasked with finding the girl and catching Hughes. Of course they have been trying to catch Hughes for two years. They are always a step behind.Right now they are getting ready to go after Hughes. Following a trail he's left for them.The FBI agents aren't going hunting for Hughes alone. None of them are woodsman by the stretch of anyones imagination.  Colonel Jeremiah McDaniels will be going with them.McDaniels is 6'7" in his stocking feet. He was raised by Mescalaro Apache's. He's a ghost in motion and the best damned tracker that Reskovas boss, Assistant Director Dreyer, has ever seen.Dreyer knows this because he served in the First Gulf war as a Force Recon Marine. Its where he first met McDaniels when McDaniels saved he and his men from an ambush.Dreyer also knows McDaniels history in both Iraq and Afghanistan.Seems McDaniel has no problem killing to get the job done. ROE's don't mean much to him especially when it comes to gathering intel, avenging a dead friend or protecting his men. As far as McDaniels is concerned enemies are for killing.Heads rolled in Iraq. Sixteen to be exact.  Its the reason he was sent out of Iraq and is now in the reserves. At least thats what everyone thinks.Yup. McDaniel is hell on wheels and one very, very capable guy.McDaniels is also in on the hunt per the request of Senator Hokanson. He knows with McDaniels involved the chances of his niece making it home alive have greatly improved. He does know McDaniels and his reputation.A fact the FBI agents will appreciate as they head into the woods after Hughes.So begins one great read.We meet McDaniels friend Rasheed, an Iraqi who now lives in the US.  He's knows as Kay. Kay is every bit as lethal as McDaniels. He's also one funny guy.  We also watch as McDaniels and Reskova begin a relationship and form a team like no other.Its also an eye opener about the idiots who run this country. Idiots who have no problem with our open borders. Idiots who have no problem with those who come across those borders. Idiots who want political correctness and lets not forget we gotta handle criminals with kid gloves and  terrorists have rights.  Idiots who also send our soldiers into battle with one hand tied behind their backs with idiotic ROE's.If your a liberal you probably won't like Monster. Its not politically correct in any way shape or form. Kudo's to the author big time.One good read and well worth those five stars. Sure hope we see McDaniel and his crew in another novel. One impressive read.
