In what is the start of a promising new series, Mason Kane is a member of a clandestine military squad called the Anvil Program, "a group of black ops soldiers who wage war from the shadows." Ordered to kill an innocent Afghan family by his leader Captain Barnes, Kane refuses and ends up on the run. While Kane is evading his former unit, Barnes has become more erratic and dangerous. Renee Hart, a special ops agent, is assigned to find Barnes and eliminate him. She enlists the aid of Kane to achieve this mission.
VERDICT Debut author Hood, a decorated veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, includes the necessary elements for a good military thriller
