Great series.  Was longing for a similar hero to Reacher

Will remind you of Lee Child's work - well written, drives, believable characters, good action.  I want more.

Liked as much as the books by Child's - Jack Reacher series.  Good easy read and plenty of intriguing story line.  I would share these with other people who liked the Jack Teacher series.

Jack Reacher novels are great.  I bought one, read it, and bought all the rest.  Unfortunately I'm on the last one and will have to wait for more to written.  Sigh.

I read the first three novels and the novella.  I enjoyed the books and the characters.  I wish that  Mr. Dawson would flesh out the female characters a bit more.  They are either in need of rescue, very pretty, or described not at all (the one female agent in the group that pursues him in the La Frontera battle).  Nevertheless, the stories read quickly.  I am a sucker for a vigilante with a heart of gold.  The writing is of a much better caliber than similar self-published books in its genre.  Overall, I would recommend them.  Someone else here said it was a combination of Jack Reacher and James Bond.  I thought that was pretty spot on.  I will almost certainly buy the next series.  They are also still a great value for the price.  Thank you, Mr. Dawson.

I can't get tired of Reacher... such a fantasy of a good man doing what needs to be done. We need people like him in our world.

Good, I enjoyed this reacher better than the last couple, but I suppose I will always read them just like a lot of other people.

Loved how Reacher and his past connected to his old faithful buddies.  Saw a side of Reacher that
was compassionate with a driven force to find his friends and their killers. He is brilliant yet humble.
Great suspense and humor.

1st one of the series I've read. Reminiscent of Reacher series. Will go back for others.

Read the whole series in odd bits of time in a busy weekend. All three are quick reads and the series could easily have been a single volume. But I get the marketing thing. Why sell one book when you can turn it into 3 and triple the profit?

My only complaint about this series is the first person POV.  It would have been so much more intense in 3rd.

Love the  character, and THANK YOU, Mr. Wright for not giving him super healing powers and hacking him into little pieces every other chapter. I get so tired of that cliche.

It does have the usual nods to the Iron Druid. The tats, the apprentice he shouldn't sleep with that we all know he eventually will. But the character is his own man, not just an Iron Druid clone.

2ndary characters are a little generic. I didn't find them interesting enough to keep them straight in my head but it didn't really matter, because they're interchangeable. But I was fine with that. The protagonist held my attention well enough. that I was content to stick with him.  Also the protagonist wasn't really attached to most of them, so the fact that they were only lightly sketched in suited his mindset.

My biggest disappointment with the series was turning the last page of book three and  finding  that there is no book 4. The series seems destined for television. If there's a god, Aiden Turner will be available to play the lead.

Don't care for the narration in the audio book.  I think he's trying to sound  tough, but just sounds perpetually annoyed. That's the problem with audio books. There's just no way a professional reader is ever going to be able to sound like a guy who fights monsters for a living.

Really enjoyed this series. Own several in hardcover copy and of course Kindle. (Love this thing)....Mr. Stirling sir....this feels much too much like a do-over. Deeply enjoy the developed cultures and character descriptions within. However this one a missed opportunity to really pull me in....Artos asassinated.....well twisted ....would have loved the ceremony of Dun Juniper and his passing then. Alluded to but not here??? Enjoyed the development of Orlaith and her own gathering...but so much like the start of series. SMACKS of publishers influence to produce and NOT the originality of the first several books and the developments thereafter. So to you and your publishers...do justice...twist the plots...be different...keep my dedication to purchase....or lose my own and I suspect many others to the  realms of "storytelling for paycheck" vice "storytelling for the story". Only 3 stars and only because the preceding stories were a great deal of fun and good read.

I loved the book and the entire series and wish for another book to captivate me the same way these series had!

This three book series was actually very good.  The premise was logical and well founded.  The characters depicted are a mix of individuals that kept the story line interesting, exciting and full of action.  The author did a great job in keeping everything centered and viable...from the youngest of the groups, to those who fought alongside Dick, the Devil Dog.

The three books have some action packed twists and turns that will keep the reader turning the pages.  The main character is depicted as a super hero in the eyes of those he has personally taken on to protect and provide security for under the streets of Chicago.  But there is a burning desire to find his wife and daughter.  To be able to do that, he must rid the area around him of the ruthless gangs that control the streets above.  Several battles ensue, but not without sacrifice.  Dick is not a man of perfection, but with major issues he must fight internally on a daily basis.  That's what I enjoyed about his character.  The author is wise enough to not make him someone who always wins, or never gets injured.  He is vulnerable to just about every move he makes, but has the advantage due to his experience, training and his past.

Dick moves on from Chicago with some close comrades, in a direction that will bring him back to his loved ones.  The mental adversities and nightmares Dick contends with makes it even harder for him to focus on getting to where he wants to be.  Fortunately, his companions are there to 'bring him back' from his internal darkness and help him to continue toward his destination.  And then, of course, there are the real adversaries that seem to find Dick and his companions, no matter where they go.  Then the excitement, action and personal battles start all over.

These books were very well written, albeit, with some words, phrases out of place, but they did not take away from the flow of the read...at least not for me.  This series was much, much better written and proofed than others by this author.  Good descriptions of items, events, but not so in-depth that it detracted from the story line and became boring.  The author stays within context of what is happening at the moment and does not stray into some nonsensical diatribe just to get a word count.  Everything portrayed and depicted in the three books is presented in an apocalyptic realism...and not once did I perceive anything illogical or where I had to suspend reality to accept the circumstances.

If you're a fan of this genre, and you enjoy nonstop action, with a great story line, then you won't be disappointed in these books.  I highly recommend them.

I love Jack Reacher. However, I was getting bored with the last few books. But book #11 was one of the best in the series.

With Jack Reacher in the cast of characters I thought we would meet up with him at some point in time, but was disappointed this did not occur. Hopefully the next one which I am reading now will activate the hero.  I say this after reading all the Reacher books which were the best chronicles of a character I have ever read.  I hope Lee Child has many more episodes in his plan.
