As a member of the Rapid Fire Task Force, I received a review copy of this book.

A Closer Look at the Book:

Falcon is the third and final book in the Quiet Professionals series. If you’ve read Raptor 6 and Hawk, you know that you’re in for an intense ride. It was difficult waiting for this book to be released because I needed to know what happened to the Raptor team. I was interested in seeing how things would play out between Falcon and Cassie as things certainly did not look good towards the end of book 2. This book sheds more light on why Falcon and Cassie have such turmoil in their relationship. The team definitely had a rocky road ahead of them.

Ronie has done it again with this intense, fast-paced military novel. You do not want to start reading this before bed because you will not want to put it down. The twists and turns, betrayals, suspense, love, hate, and action will keep you turning the pages to the very end. The characters are well developed. You’ll find yourself both loving and hating Falcon as his character doesn’t easily fit into a tidy little box. Falcon is yet another excellent book that is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat.

The Day of Deadly Reckoning has Arrived for Raptor Team

Falcon Book Description:

Special Forces operator Salvatore “Falcon” Russo vowed to never again speak to or trust Lieutenant Cassandra Walker after a tragedy four years ago. But as Raptor closes in on the cyber terrorists responsible for killing two of their own, Sal must put his life—and the lives of his teammates—in her hands.

Despite his anger, Cassie is ill-prepared for his resistance and the fallout when she must protect the one asset who can end the attacks.

As allies become enemies and hostiles become unlikely partners, Raptor fights for its very existence.

    • It’s their flaws that make them so real, so believable. Ronie definitely has a gift for creating excellent characters and story lines.

    I LOVE Ronie’s books! Full of adventure, intrigue, and a bit of romance, they have everything an avid reader could want! I love that they are based in a strong Christian faith without being preachy in any way.

    • I agree. The faith element is there throughout the book without being in-your-face. To me, it feels true to real life – especially for those in the military.

    I have read all of Ronie’s and each one is amazing. Falcon is on my nook just waiting to be read. I know I will love it and will have to read it over again to pick up on the things I missed because I was reading it way too fast.

    • I thought I was the only one that reread the books because I know I miss things the first time through. 🙂 Glad to hear I’m not the only one. 😉

  7. I haven’t read this series, but it sounds exciting. Deep, human characters with realistic, multi-faceted personalities always make for interesting fiction.
