    About this audiobook

    “One of the best thrillers I have read this year.”
    --Books and Movie Reviews (re Any Means Necessary)

    In the much-anticipated debut of a new series by #1 bestseller Jack Mars, when elite Delta Force soldier Luke Stone, 29, joins a secretive government agency, he is dispatched on the mission of a lifetime: a whirlwind race across Europe and the Mid-East to save the President’s daughter before she is beheaded by terrorists.

    In PRIMARY TARGET (Book #1), we see the forging of one of the world’s toughest—and most lethal—soldiers: Luke Stone. A 29 year old veteran who has seen enough battle to last a lifetime, Luke is tapped by the Special Response Team, a secretive new FBI agency (led by his mentor Don Morris) to tackle the most high-stake terrorism operations in the world.

    Luke, still haunted by his wartime past and newly married to an expecting Becca, is dispatched on a mission to Iraq, with his new partner Ed Newsam, to bring in a rogue American contractor. But what begins as a routine mission mushrooms into something much, much bigger.

    When the President’s teenage daughter, kidnapped in Europe, is ransomed by terrorists, Luke may be the only one in the world who can save her before it is too late.

    PRIMARY TARGET is an un-putdownable military thriller, a wild action ride that will leave you turning pages late into the night. It marks the long-anticipated debut of a riveting new series by #1 bestseller Jack Mars, dubbed “one of the best thriller authors” out there.

    “Thriller writing at its best.”
    --Midwest Book Review (re Any Means Necessary)

    Also available is Jack Mars’ #1 bestselling LUKE STONE THRILLER series (7 books), which begins with Any Means Necessary (Book #1), a free download with over 800 five star reviews!

      Overall, it was a good story. I would have enjoyed it more had the person who was speaking the audio had a more manly voice for the main character and if there was an actual woman speaking for the female in the story. Listening to him imitate a woman voice was pretty bad.

      Good story but not so good a narrator. It was a bit painful listening to him.

      Jack is now on my favorites list. One of the best with Mark Greaney, Kyle Mills, Stephen Koonts, and many others.
    • 5/5
      An exciting audio book! The narrator reader does an excellent job. I would sit in my car after getting to work and listen for a few more minutes each day.
    • 4/5
      A good book on par with others in the same genre with one notable exception, at least in my humble opinion. Jack Mars proves that you can write a best selling book without all the uneducated trashy foul language as many other authors seem to use nowadays. Thank you Mr. Mars...

      Think he was drunk when he wrote the ending. Rubbish
    • 3/5
      Ok and I’ll try nr 2 in series as well…
    • 4/5
      A very good start. I’m looking forward to the next book.
    • 1/5
      I’m not sure which I disliked more, the first year writing style or the Blatant racism. I think I’ll go with number 2. The force used to diminish and keep the black character in his place I found to be extremely distasteful. The authors writing style will get better the more he writes but I doubt his racist undertone will ever go away.
