About this ebook

“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.


Books #2-#6 are also available!

 

“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!

New to this author but I will read more of his work. The hero of the book is a larger than life trained killing machine and the plot is one of many twists. Okay it's a bit of a stretch some times but it is very much a fun read. I enjoyed every page

What an excellent view of Luke Stone at the very beginning, a little confused, at a point in the service where he has seen and done so much...His wife Becca is very pregnant, giving him something else to think of, a life taking care of his family not running off at a phone call... Things change quickly when his mentor, Don, taps him for a secret, special response team, out of the FBI and run by Don. This is a very special group and Don knows the kind of person and soldier Luke is.He brings him in, introducing new members of his team. Immediately Luke and his new partner, Ed, are sent to take care of a problem in Iraq, which expands as a grateful leader gives him a map showing the site of foes. Suddenly, as Luke is excited to go home to Becca, there is astounding news- The President's Daughter Is Kidnapped!! The best team in the world has a new target, locate and save the young woman!! An exciting, action-filled story with incredible characters and plots that flow together with ease. I read this book in one day, staying up late and breathing deeply as I see and feel what happens, unable to close my eyes until I finished this incredible adventure. Explosive,interesting and fulfilling, a 5 STAR book, starting a new series into the early days with Luke,and there could NOT be a better start than this!!

I have read and enjoyed all of the previous books in the Luke Stone series, and this prequel is just as good. It's interesting to see how Luke and his team came together for the first time, knowing what we already know about them from the other books. The plot was as intriguing as ever, although one of the main plot points is the same as in one of the other books in the series. But this is only a minor point and didn't detract from my enjoyment. If you have read the previous Luke Stone books by Jack Mars then you will definitely enjoy this one also. If you're new to the series this may be a good starting point, although I'd recommend downloading the first book (it's free!) and maybe read them in order before reading this one as a prequel as is intended.
