NO MERCY

I started reading John Gilstrap's latest book NO MERCY. Half way thru the book, I stopped and went to my computer. I emailed John and told him how much I liked this book and was not even thru reading it. I liked the pace of the book and the characters. I noticed that his description of where the main character was, Jonathan Grave, I felt that I was in the room with him or out in the woods. I recommend this book to anyone that likes fast action books. I had to go to work and could not wait to return home to finish this book. Now talk about a good summer read, this is your book. M.

Gilstrap's latest: No Mercy

What's not to like? An action-packed thriller introducing Jonathan Graves, hostage rescuer, who works on the edge of the law, and sometime a bit over...but no matter, Graves is definitely someone you want on your side, and someone you can't get enough of. No Mercy begins with the successful rescue of a kidnapped college student that ultimately draws Graves, along with an eclectic alliance of assorted characters, in a final thrilling shoot-`em-up showdown. It's this summer's Must Read!

His best one yet.

Just when you think you have read his best he writes a better one. I have read all of Giltraps books and he keeps you in suspence all the time. Can't wait for the next "Digger" mission.

Riveting Thriller

Gilstrap's newest thriller "No Mercy" grabs the reader from page one, and holds tightly right to the finish. Cleverly written, with engaging twists and turns, along with a smattering of humor, this is a novel you won't want to put down. The story begins quite simply with the kidnapping of a college student. But quickly, it turns into a good guy, bad guy intrigue. You'll be on the edge of your seat, and perhaps a little queasy at times, as you follow Jonathan Grave, along with his friend and employee "Big Guy" as they work through the murk that comes from pure greed. As the story develops, one looming question is who are the good guys. Is it Grave who's job can force him to kill? Or is it, Irene Rivers, the FBI Director who wants the "incident" to disappear? Perhaps it's Gail Bonneville, the Sheriff of Samson, Indiana. When she took office, she promised to fulfill her duties without fail. Can she ignore the fact that she knows who saved the college student from his kidnappers, and who now has blood on his hands? At first, it appears that the kidnapped boy's parents, Stephenson and Julie Hughes are good guys. As the story unravels, however, not only are they responsible for something terrible, but their actions endanger their lives and many others. As in real life, it's not always easy to discern good from evil, but by this book's end, the good guys will leave an indelible mark on the reader's mind. Gilstrap did a masterful job with "No Mercy". Not only did he weave a story with amazing character development to capture, and hold, the reader's attention, but he also provided an ending to be applauded. Too often, reader's enjoy the journey of a story only to be disappointed by a sappy, or poorly written, conclusion. Not so with Gilstrap. The ending leaves the reader wanting more suspense, more intrigue, and more Jonathan Grave.

Gilstrap once again delivers a thrilling ride

Few authors deliver a great read ...out of the gate ...every time. John is one of the rare ones. Jonathan Graves is one of the meatiest protagonists in years. Ex-Delta Force and Gilstrap is more familiar with Delta than most since he wrote the only book the secret force has ever cooperated with, and endorsed, "Six Minutes To Freedom." NO MERCY is one of those books where the words "joy ride" and "train wreck" threaten to become interchangeable at every turn. This is one exciting read, guaranteed. Don't pick it up unless you have enough time to finish it. Congrats, Gilstrap and congrats Gilstrap fans. I'm waiting for the next Graves offering.
