Reciprocity: A Third JD Cordell Action Thriller (The JD Cordell Action Series)($16.99Value)

Description

Some people vanish because no one comes looking. Retired Navy SEAL JD Cordell thought he had left the battlefield behind. Then two young women, preparing to leave Vietnam for new lives in America, suddenly vanish, drawing him back into a world he hoped he had escaped—a world where evil flourishes in the shadows and innocence has a price. The search ends in Tondo. Manila's sprawling labyrinth of narrow alleys and forgotten neighborhoods. A place where criminal syndicates traffic in fear as easily as they traffic in human lives, and people disappear without a trace. Behind those rusted rooftops are families struggling to survive. Children with nowhere else to go. Ordinary people trapped between poverty and predators. They are not collateral damage. They are the reason JD came. Reunited with the people he trusts most, JD enters one of the world's most dangerous urban battlegrounds with one objective. Bring the innocent home. But someone has been waiting for JD Cordell's return. One man has spent years waiting for the chance to settle an old debt. What begins as a rescue mission becomes a fight on two fronts—against those stealing innocent lives... and against an enemy determined to destroy JD Cordell. Filled with authentic military realism, relentless suspense, unforgettable characters, and explosive action, Reciprocity is a story of loyalty, sacrifice, redemption, and the enduring responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Reciprocity is the third novel in the JD Cordell series. Each novel stands on its own while building a world where courage has a cost, evil is real, and protecting the innocent is always worth the fight. Because some people only come home when someone refuses to stop looking. "Gilbert delivers a high-octane blend of emotional depth, tactical precision, and unflinching realism in his latest installment in the JD Cordell series. Action scenes are frequent but never gratuitous, and character moments are given space to breathe. The climax is both emotionally satisfying and viscerally intense. A fierce, intelligent novel that proves the battlefield is only the beginning." ~ Neena H. Brar BookLife Reviews "Reciprocity by D.C.
