TWO HEART-STOPPING ROLLER COASTER RIDES!

Enjoy the first two page-turners in the Brad Jacobs Thriller Series!

Fighting to save those he cares most about, retired Force Recon Marine Brad Jacobs blazes a trail of devastation through the deepest jungles of Africa and the rugged backcountry wilderness of Alaska. Overflowing with so much breathtaking action, adventurous locations, and riveting suspense, you won’t be able to put it down.


TRACK DOWN AFRICA – BOOK 1

Force Recon Marines battle Seleka Rebels in the savage heart of Africa in a desperate search for a missing young woman.
"Action packed, fast-paced and full of rapid gunfire."

When his favorite cousin, 26-year-old Jessica vanishes while hunting for diamonds in Central Africa, Brad wastes no time in recruiting his Marine buddies for a search and rescue mission.

He and his team navigate the deepest, darkest jungles of the Ubangi River on a pulse-pounding race against time to bring Jessica back alive.

But first they have to find her.

Brad knows there are a million ways to disappear in the middle of Africa, and none offer good odds of survival.

Join Brad and his team on their perilous journey to discover the truth about Jessica's disappearance and the fate of the mysterious diamonds.


TRACK DOWN ALASKA – BOOK 2

White supremacists thirsty for blood and a bounty hunter seeking vigilante justice in an untamed, frozen wilderness —Track Down Alaska is another great Brad Jacobs Action Thriller.

When their plane crashes in the Alaskan backcountry, it’s not the freezing temperatures, treacherous terrain, dangerous wildlife, and lack of supplies that are Pete and Charlie’s biggest threats. An accidental discovery becomes the bigger challenge.

They had the misfortune of crashing in the middle of nowhere, the perfect place for neo-Nazi terrorists to run an illegal operation—and now they’ve been seen. Hunted like wolves, Pete and Charlie are running for their lives.

Can Brad’s team take on this unexpected, heavily armed, and formidable adversary? Will they track down Pete and Charlie alive? Follow Brad on another breakneck, rip-roaring quest as it rapidly evolves from a possible kidnapping into an all-out battle for survival.

Ride along as Force Recon Marines combat the Aryan Nation in the brutal Alaskan wilderness.

08/25/2018 Update:

Mr. Conrad contacted me a couple weeks ago. He's been slaving over a word processor for a while, and he sent an updated edition to look at. (By the way, it's now the third, which Amazon sometimes does and sometimes doesn't appear to provide... Insist. It matters.)

See, I'm one of THOSE readers, like the high school composition teacher everyone else hated. (Thank you, Mrs. J. - You are not forgotten!) I'm a natural-born editor and proofreader... I focus first and foremost on the mechanics of the language. If they're off, the whole thing goes out the window. More than a few paper editions have done just that. (Thanks, Kindle!). It's the way I'm wired.

After reading v3... wow. The technical errors I complained about are pretty much gone. The characters and story come through now, and, well... if you like military thriller / action adventure stories, this guy can actually spin a yarn worth your time. (If you're into cozy little B&B Sunday morning whodunits, I wouldn't. I like those too, but this isn't that.) The good guys are good, the bad guys are seriously bad, and the action's right there. Not everyone makes it home for Sunday Brunch.

And, unlike some other very high-dollar names we've all seen on other writers' books, Mr. Conrad doesn't take 800 pages to tell a 200-page story, and he hasn't (yet) trademarked his characters' names. Just good old-fashioned adventure stories. In an earlier era we'd have called them "pulp novels" and devour them by the thousands, happily.

Yup. I like the new version. A lot.

***** Earlier review, left for reference but effectively withdrawn and no longer supportable.******

Lots of action, but not much thought and DESPERATELY needs an editor/proofreader. Characters change names, huge largely irrelevant side theses and character exposition, and for the love of the Gods will you PLEASE decide whether you're writing in present or past tense and stick to it?

Determined to rescue her against impossible odds, he puts together a team that will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Leave no man behind

In Track Down Alaska, Brad Jacobs learns his good Friend and fellow Force Recon buddy Pete and his cousin Jessica’s boyfriend Charlie have crashed in the wilds of Alaska on a hunting trip. Immediately Brad puts together a search and rescue team, little knowing they will face blizzard conditions, illegal mining operations and a splinter group of the Aryan Nation willing to kill to protect their secret.

In this series of adventures it seems to be too easy to put together a rescue mission which would cost a good deal of money. Our heroes seem to have unlimited funds to support all of the gear needed for their adventures. Each of the books is relatively short, however the story line does keep one's interest.

Very entertaining and interesting storyline about ex-Marines and their military style rescues of friends and family members in dangerous situations. Graphic descriptions of battles and good personal information about the characters that make them real to the reader.

The only reason I gave this read a four star is it was a very short story. I think they are calling these a novella these days.
