Tier One Wild: %E2%80%A8A Delta Force Novel
Dalton Fury. St. Martin%E2%80%99s, $25.99 (352p) ISBN 978-0-312-66838-9
Fury has impressive credentials for writing about a frantic effort to ward off a terrorist mega-attack, having served as the senior ranking military officer at the Battle of Tora Bora and helped plan the operation that took out Bin Laden. Nevertheless, his fast-paced second Delta Force novel starring Kolt %E2%80%9CRacer%E2%80%9D Raynor (after 2012%E2%80%99s Black Site) reads like countless other post-9/11 fictional accounts of maverick covert U.S. operatives. In the dramatic opening, Raynor and his team attempt a daring hostage rescue from a hijacked plane set to take off from New Delhi. After the dust settles from that operation, his focus turns to al-Qaeda leader Daoud al-Amriki, recently identified as American renegade David Wade Doyle, who has just closed on the purchase of 60 antiaircraft missiles. While, unsurprisingly, nothing rings false, readers won%E2%80%99t necessarily feel as if they%E2%80%99re experiencing exactly what the real Delta Force does. Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group.
