About this audiobook

“Thriller writing at its best.” 

--Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


From the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews) comes a groundbreaking new political thriller series: when the President of the United States or his family are threatened, it is up to Jake Mercer, former Marine sniper turned Secret Service agent, to protect them from dangers—both foreign and domestic.


As a lethal militia targets the most powerful man in the world, Jake must thwart their assassination plot and protect the nation's highest office—even if the mastermind behind it is a shadow from his own past.


“Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”

--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)

Jake really did not use his brain for the end fighting scene. Diversion, duh! That was so obvious. Also, the Secret Service hired him without looking at his military service record? If the court Marshall wasn't classified information, then that would have shown in his records. How was he blamed if they didn't even look at his records before hiring him. That part really made absolutely no sense. In some parts of the book, Jake was very smart and used his brain. In other parts, he acted very stupid, like he never had any sort of training, but was in charge of this mission. Really???!! And it ends with the main terrorists getting away. Some closure would have been nice for the ending.
