Description

''As a veteran, thriller-writer, and fan of the genre, the Sons of Valor series is as good as it gets. If you liked Tom Clancy's John Clark, and if you like Brad Thor's Scot Harvath, you'll devour the Tier One series.'' -- Andrew Watts, Navy veteran & bestselling author of the War Planners series ''Action, suspense, and intrigue ... the Sons of Valor series is Andrews & Wilson at their absolute finest!'' -- Jason Kasper, former Green Beret and USA Today bestselling author of the Shadow Strike series ''Readers have come to expect blistering action sequences and meticulous storytelling from the Andrews and Wilson team. Sons of Valor delivered. I highly enjoyed this novel ... The pairing of Chunk and Watts is highly entertaining. Each character is strong individually, but together they produce delightful dialogue and a treat for fans of military action. If you are an established Andrews and Wilson fan you will enjoy Sons of Valor . If you are new to this author team (or looking for that next binge-worthy read) Sons of Valor is the way to go.'' -- Mystery and Suspense ''Want a look into the shadowy world of US special operations? Sons of Valor puts you on the front lines. Nobody does action like Andrews & Wilson!'' -- Jack Carr, Navy SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author of The Devil's Hand ''[A] solid series launch from Andrews and Wilson ... Scorching action scenes and authentic technical detail ... Military thriller fans will be pleased to have a new team to root for.'' -- Publishers Weekly ''Delivers on all cylinders ...The writing has a cinematic flair, and the pacing drops readers directly into the heart of the scenes. The main cast members are delightful and seem authentic, doing a terrific job introducing newcomers to the Tier One world while also appealing to lifelong fans of their previous books. This book is a must-read for fans of covert-ops thrillers, and the authors are looking like the next Preston and Child.'' -- Library Journal (starred review) ''A disillusioned Afghan flirting with terrorism and an elite Navy SEAL team move ever closer to a deadly conflict ... In addition to presenting action sequences with clarity and an authoritative understanding of weaponry, the authors also depict the ethical complexity and consequential missteps on both sides of the conflict ... A solid series kickoff from a prolific pair.'' -- Kirkus Reviews ''Delivers on all cylinders...The writing has a cinematic flair, and the pacing drops readers directly into the heart of the scenes. The main cast members are delightful and seem authentic, doing a terrific job introducing newcomers to the Tier One world while also appealing to lifelong fans of their previous books. This book is a must-read for fans of covert-ops thrillers, and the authors are looking like the next Preston and Child.'' -- Library Journal (starred review) '' Sons of Valor is an excellent beginning of a new spectacular, action-packed, twists-filled, fast-paced, well thought-out series. Knowing the excellent work of the authors on the TIER ONE series, I knew it would be WOW good. I just didn't know it would be ''WOW!''! Sons of Valor , so far, is the best action thriller I have read for 2021!'' -- Best Thriller Books Navy veterans BRIAN ANDREWS and JEFFREY WILSON are the writing team behind the number one bestselling Tier One series.

Gasp! WOW! This is a keeper.

Lt. Commander Keith "Chunk" Redman has been in the Tier One series before, but he has his own book now. He jokes that he and his seriously badass SEALS have rescued the Tier One gang and just moves on. He and his crew are magnificent and fearless in this, the first story on his own. If you like action, great characters and a breath holding finale.....get this one. You will add a new hero to your list. And thanks to Andrews and Wilson for the Glossary in the back of the book listing all the acronyms used in the story. They tend to get confusing.

These guys know how to write

Sons of Valor, by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, is the first book in a new series that branches off of their Tier One series. Keith "Chunk" Redman is a Navy Seal who is tasked with forming and leading a new team of Tier One operators who will be the tip of the spear. Chunk, who has made numerous appearances in the previous Tier One books, usually comes in when the situation is less than ideal. In those appearances, it was evident Chunk was a badass as well as an extremely likable character. So, it was no surprise Andrews and Wilson wanted to give Chunk his due. Teamed with Chunk are some characters from previous books as well as a few new characters who will become fan favorites. Many spin-offs feel forced and needless but Sons of Valor works in everyway. The fact Andrews and Wilson are able to write in one voice while switching chapters will never cease to amaze me. I cannot praise, or recommend, Sons of Valor enough.

Slow

Slow. Does not make you want to stay past your bedtime reading.
I have to force myself to continue and maybe the action or something will get interesting.

Expertly crafted story and characters

Time to go back and read every single Andrews and Wilson book from the start. I jumped into LCDR Keith “Chunk” Redman’s story with this latest offering and now I’m kicking myself for not reading them sooner. Loved how all the pieces weaved together at the last second, leaving you wondering which direction the story would turn. And while the story matters, it doesn’t grab you unless the characters are believable—every single one was expertly crafted. Well done, guys. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

Excellent spinoff from Tier One series

Sons of Valor is the first spin-off from the terrific Tier One series. Keith "Chunk" Redman is a Navy SEAL introduced in that series, but you don't have to read it to get all you need to know about Chunk.

The authors take time to set up all the characters - heroes and villains. This is a military ops thriller, firmly on the pro-USA side, but the authors take care to walk through why someone would choose to take terrorist action. They are not one-dimensional crazies here. They are men who have suffered real loss and view themselves as warriors in a fight for their land and their loved ones.

The military and OGA staff (if you don't know what OGA stands for, there is an acronym glossary at the end of the book) use jargon that is not necessarily explained, such as Head Shed and white side SEAL. Most can be picked up from context, but you may have to google a few terms. What that jargon does is drop the reader right in the middle of the action. And there is plenty of action here - a particularly good sequence at a hotel will leave your palms sweating. Because of character setup, the beginning of the book moves a little slower than the rest, though there is action sprinkled in there too. But the rest of the book flies at a furious pace. My only quibble is a couple of instances where the authors lay it on a little too thick regarding the SEALs being heroes. Don't get me wrong - I 100% believe they are heroes. But the book gives plenty of evidence for that. No need to state the obvious.

This is not a family friendly book due to language and violence. But if you enjoy military ops, you're going to love this one.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of the nook. My opinion is my own.

Great book

The authors are in line with current events, a lot of information that will leave room for the follow up books in the series. Great read

development of story line constant action

Difficult to put down. Good characters. Chain of command is hard to understand...is there really any command structure above commander? Tier one seem to take a lot of liberties with equipment, money, etc. without any approval from higher up brass.
