Hell and Gone

Hell and Gone

by Henry Brown

When a bloodthirsty jihadist is given a nuclear weapon and a chance to forever alienate Israel from American support, all hope rides on thirteen expendable SpecOps veterans almost as insane as the suicidal plan they're given to stop him.

Hell and Gone by Henry Brown is a top-notch military thriller. The author takes great care to create characters that are believable and unique. Normally I can get lost in a book with many characters, but the characters in Hell and Gone were introduced in such a way that it was easy to follow.

This is a realistic story about a teenager recruited by a terrorist training camp for an attack, and a group of elite ex-military men sent to prevent the use of a nuclear suitcase bomb strike upon Israel. Great writing creates scenes so well crafted that I felt like I was in a strange land in the middle of the action.

One of the parts of the story I found most interesing was the the author's descriptions of the physical effects on the men following a firefight. I think this author's work can compare with any of the more famous thriller authors today. I am very pleased to recommend this book to anyone that enjoys thrillers. --Book Visions

The world sits on the brink of nuclear war, and no one is the wiser. "Hell and Gone" tells the story of a lost Russian nuke and how it may be aimed at an Israeli city and how the lost beliefs of a teenager may be the thing that starts World War III and a devastation to the unstable Middle East. The hopes for peace lie on Rocco Cavarra and his special operation troops who must crusade through the region and create some semblance of peace. "Hell and Gone" is an exciting action and adventure novel, highly recommended. --Midwest Book Review

`Hell and Gone' is the thrilling story of a 15-year-old jihadist planning to detonate a nuclear bomb in Tel Aviv and the 13 Spec Ops men sent on a mission literally from hell to stop him. This book grabbed me in from the very start, with characters that compelled and details that informed without burdening the story. The novel is well-paced, eminently believable, and draws you into a climax that does not disappoint. I don't normally read military thrillers but I recommend this one whole-heartedly. --Vanitha Sankarin, author of Watermark

About the author:

Men's fiction/military thriller writer Henry Brown has been a voracious reader for most of his life--especially the first half of it. In addition to devouring fiction of most genres, he has been a history buff from a young age, and a WWII afficinado by the age of 17. That put men's fiction, paramilitary adventure and war novels on the top of his reading list for many years. He joined the Army the summer he graduated high school and volunteered for the Airborne Infantry. Even after active duty, he dabbled in the reserves of other branches of service, and networked with elite warriors from the Army, Navy and Marines. He earned a degree in the arts, but spent most of his college elective credits on martial arts sparring classes and military history. He hopes to reawaken an interest in fiction for men...or at least have a lot of fun writing it.
