Scorched Earth

A Jonathan Grave Thriller, Book 17

By: John Gilstrap

Narrated by: Basil Sands

Vengeance, murder, and violent political games are on a collision course in a propulsive Jonathan Grave thriller by New York Times best-selling author John Gilstrap.

Disgraced US President Darmond has been ousted from office, but his minions have taken aim at everyone they perceive to be enemies. Off-the-record contractors on a secret list are being eliminated, one by one.

Jonathan Grave and his Security Solutions team manage to turn the tables when the assassins come for them. But the ultimate attack will strike deep at the heart of what's best about American values.

High-tech weapons, terror-driven fanatics, and top-level betrayal shred the peace of a peaceful gathering in the rolling hills of rural North Carolina. In this showdown, the winner will take all.

Great book great listen

Another awesome book in the Jonathan Grave series. The narrator is fantastic and love the characters! Can’t wait for next book!

Another great one

I have been a fan of these books since book one of the series. They are very well written and he creates a scene that few people can accomplish. I hope this isn’t the end of the series.

Good change in story arc

Although there is the usual violence,I think there were a few more funny one liners thrown in throughout the book to keep it light.
