Renee began the Throwback Thursday meme on her blog, “It’s Book Talk“ to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books published over a year ago. Sounded like a good reason to join! I’m going back over some of my favorite authors and stories you might not have previously experienced. Hopefully, you’ll find either a story or author that interests you and you’ll check them out! And, if you’d like to join the fun, you’re welcome to use Renee’s pic from her website. Just provide the link back to her please).
This week I am highlighting D.W. Ulsterman, another terrific, prolific author who has written Mac Walker’s 40,000 Feet, which I reviewed on Goodreads. He has actually written a couple of series as well as stand alones. This novel was published on May 3, 2014. He consistently runs approximately 4.0 to 4.5 stars for any of his books sold on Amazon.

Book Blurb:
Mac Walker’s Rules of Engagement:
SHOOT FIRST. KICK BODY. REPEAT.
Former Navy SEAL sniper and government gun for hire Mac Walker finds himself in an uneasy alliance with the beautiful and mysterious Vatican operative Stasia Wellington as they struggle to save the plane’s passengers and defeat the terrorists and their plot to kill tens of thousands. Mac Walker’s 40,000 Feet is the first volume in the highly popular Mac Walker military thrillers series that has earned an enthusiastic following of fans as they cheer the never give in and never give up nature that embodies the Mac Walker character.
“For fans of terrorist thrillers this is a must read!
My Review:
Mac Walker is returning to Washington DC after a well-earned vacation and prior to accepting a new position in Project Icon, an elite anti-terrorist organization. Stasia is also on the Boeing 767 and a member of the Vatican equivalent to Mac’s position.
The airliner is hijacked shortly out of Paris and flown to a remote island off Tunisia where they are met with armed militia, terrorist mercenaries, and something appearing to be biological weapons intended for a major attack against the Vatican. Stasia and Mac join forces to retake the plane, save the passengers and the Vatican, and live to fight another day.
Attention grabbing from the beginning, it is a fast-moving narrative, the characters evolve into real people, and the well-plotted story progresses with believable interaction between governmental agencies.
I thoroughly enjoyed this suspenseful, military thriller of an old hard-liner ex-Navy Seal that could have been 5 stars had it the opportunity of a good editor and eye for details. I got this book as a free download and enjoyed the easy escapist read. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick, fun thriller.

I’m ashamed to admit that I hadn’t heard of this author but his books sound fascinating. I don’t normally read military themed books but I think I’d give this one a try.

I was reminded of Chuck Norris when I read the book. Your All-American bad ass.

I thought it an interesting book and back when I posted that review had no idea he’d add a serious number of series to his collection.
