Merciless Charity: A Charity Styles Novel

I have read all the Jesse McDermitt books in the series and enjoyed every single one. Wayne's stories usually take place in the Florida Keys or Caribbean and are educational as well as exciting. Merciless Charity is a spin-off of the series and follows Charity, the pilot of Jesse's team helicopter, on a clandestine mission to Mexico to locate a group of terrorists who are training and plan to infiltrate into the US within the next week. Most of her trip is on the water in an old sailboat that had been upgraded with many modern conveniences that will allow the boat to sail itself. En route, Charity encounters a family of Cuban refugees and compromises the mission to save them. She also develops a love interest on one of her stops that might continue in the next book.

This story, like the authors' others, are exciting and captivating. Charity is a professional sniper, trained in martial arts, and a skilled "sailor" since her youth. The clock is ticking and Charity can't afford to miss her timeline to stop the terrorists - any delays could compromise the mission. Readers will see her in action and see why she is "merciless."

Good job, in taking on the role of a female protagonist in your spin-off, Wayne. I'm looking forward to continuing this series.
