9781621250685: Chasing the Lost (The Green Berets)
A Kidnapped boy. Extortion. The Russian Mob. And two former Green Berets. Nothing is ever as it appears.

Horace Chase arrives on Hilton Head Island to pay his last respects at the Intracoastal Waterway where his late mother’s ashes were spread and to inspect the home his mother left him in her will. He’s been recently forced into retirement, his divorce is officially final, and now he’s standing in the middle of the front yard of his ‘new’ house where a tree has crashed right through the center of it. What could possibly go wrong?

Within six hours of arriving on Hilton Head, Chase is exchanging gunfire with men who’ve kidnapped a young boy and tried to grab the boy’s mother. Soon he’s waist deep in an extortion plot to funnel a hundred million dollars of Superbowl on-line gambling money into an offshore bank account or else the boy dies.

Dave Riley has long retired from the military and living peacefully on sleepy Dafuskie Island off the coast of South Carolina. Sort of. Actually he’s bored, feeling old, and just a bit cranky running his deceased uncle’s small-time bookie operation. Chase and Riley assemble a team of misfits and eccentrics as they take on the powerful Russian mob in the lawless tidal lands of the Low Country to get the boy back.
It adds up to a fiery confrontation to rescue the young boy, and settle some old scores.

But Riley and Chase need to remember a basic tenet from their days in covert operations: Nothing is ever as it appears.

About the Author:
I'm a New York Times bestselling author, a graduate of West Point, former Infantry and Special Operations, and the feeder of two yellow Labs, most famously Cool Gus. I've had over seventy books published, including the #1 bestselling series Time Patrol, Green Berets, Area 51, and Atlantis. Born in the Bronx and having traveled the world (usually not the tourist spots), I now live peacefully with my wife and Labs. My web sites are bobmayer.com and coolgus.com  Thanks!
Review:
Praise for the Green Beret Series:
Library Journal: "A masterpiece of technology and suspense.  A thriller that delivers in all areas--plot, suspense, authenticity and pace.  Not to be missed byfans of the genre."
Kirkus Reviews: "Fascinating, imaginative and nerve-wracking. Mayer's tough, businesslike soldiers again include a tough, businesslike female."
Publisher's Weekly: "A pulsing technothriller.  A nail-biter in the best tradition of adventure fiction."
Journal of US Special Operations: "This is one book you can trust."
Kirkus Reviews: "Action packed entertainment.  An atavistic milieu plausibly conjured up by Mayer."
Publishers Weekly: "Mayer keeps story and characters firmly under control.  The venalmotives of the scientists and military bureaucracy are tellinglycontrasted with the idealism of the soldiers--a treat for militaryfiction readers."
Library Journal: "This book will appeal to a variety of horror and military fiction readers. Recommended!"
Assembly Magazine (Association of Graduates, West Point): "Bob Mayer has stretched the limits of the military action novel asthis is also a gripping detective story and an intriguing sciencefiction thriller. Mayer brings an accurate depiction of military life to this book which greatly enhances its credibility."
Kirkus Reviews: "Sinewy writing enhances this already potent action fix.  An adrenaline cocktail from start to finish."
Southern Book Trade: "Clancy, Coonts and Brown might have the market cornered when it comesto hardware, but Mayer knows what all Infantry types will tell you: it's the soldier who makes all the difference. Fans of military action willeat this one up. Bob Mayer just keeps getting better and better."
Kansas City Journal Enquirer: "What a delicious adventure-thriller.  Its clever, plausible plot gives birth to lots of action and suspense."
San Francisco Examiner: "A fast-paced thriller with compelling main characters and incredibly determined foes."
Midwest Book Review: "Unlike most military stories this will appeal to general audiences as a fine thriller. Highly recommended, indeed."
Bookpage: "Take an original look at a simmering world hot spot, and generates a lot of suspense along the way. A winner on all points."
Library Journal: "A heart-pounding thriller about the emergence of a deadly ebola-likevirus. Inventive, entertaining, and realistic adventure. Highlyrecommended."
Kirkus: "A ripping good biotech/militarythriller that plausibly depicts the high costs of combating unseenenemies. An absorbing and well-written series."
