Callsign: Tripleshot is a collection of three Chess Team novellas. These are incredibly fast paced. They grabbed my attention and then the stories were over before I knew it.The first story is about Queen. We learn just a little of her background while she is battling some kind of werewolf type monster. Lots of them. We also find out she has a thing for Rook. She is on her way to look for the missing Rook, when she is diverted to an abandoned Russian city in the shadow of Chernobyl. It might be the hiding place of a Manifold laboratory. In this story she shows her tenacity, strength, and intelligence. We also see compassion from her.The second story is about Rook. Kind of poetic that it would follow Queen’s story. He is hiding out in Norway to recover from a mission gone very wrong. He stops off in a little village to rest for a bit and finds big trouble. The little village has secrets. One of which is killing livestock and people. This appears to be a little precursor to Jeremy Robinson’s Ragnarok story. Rook is determined to save the village before he leaves.The third story is Bishop. Bishop is a quiet guy with a bit of an anger issue. He has maybe just found his biological parents, but before he can go to meet them, he has to investigate another Manifold laboratory. This one is buried in an Iranian desert. It has also been raided by terrorists who took what Manifold was working on.Three incredibly fast stories that are over before you know it. These stories give more insight into some of the main characters of the Chess Team series. I would recommend these books to any who like elite military action adventures, as well as those who like monsters, mad science, and a quick read.
