Scot Harvath leads a small team from the depleted Carlton Group -- still recovering from the fallout in BLACK LIST -- into the Indian Ocean to retake a ship held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates. The Carlton Group has guaranteed success -- if they recover the ship and crew they'll receive an exorbitant fee and the chance to get back on their feet, but if they fail, they'll get nothing. My opinion: any time Brad Thor uses the phrase "speed, surprise, and violence of action" then you can be sure the bad guys are about to suffer in a very cool and entertaining way. FREE FALL is no exception. Very short read but a great prelude to the soon-to-be-released HIDDEN ORDER.
