By USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author John Lovell and acclaimed military thriller author Harrison Kone comes a new hard-hitting, high-stakes thriller where a girl is taken in Kabul and a Ranger races to find her. ___________ Praise for The Lions of Mercer: “This ranks up there with Mark Greaney’s The Grey Man and Jack Carr’s The Terminal List. An engaging thriller that not only entertains but teaches and provokes thought.” "If you like The Terminal List by Jack Carr and the Reacher series by Lee Child, you'll love this book!" "Fans of Vince Flynn will not be disappointed." "Awesome novel! Jack Carr and Tom Clancy level!" "Gets your attention right from the beginning and carries like the early Mitch Rapp books. Definitely worth the read!" "As a former Ranger, this book connected with me on so many levels." "Realistic tactical details, deep spiritual ethos, visceral high stakes." “This book kept me on the edge of my seat while also pulling at my heartstrings as a husband and a father.” "A must-read for anyone who enjoys militaristic storytelling and has a strong moral compass." "If you enjoy the pulse-pounding suspense of Taken but want it paired with a gritty military realism and a Christian perspective, The Lions of Mercer is well worth the read!" “Full of action! I love that the book is written with a Gospel perspective. If you’re on the fence, get it. You’ll not be disappointed!” "Harrison and John have nailed it. Quick action, real characters, a just cause, with focus on Jesus! What more could you ask for? This book should make you sick, mad, and rejoice all in one; it should make you grit your teeth and join the fight against child trafficking." - SGM (R) Kyle Lamb, Delta Force, Author of Leadership in the Shadows, President of Viking Tactics "In the spirit of Gideon's few who faced the darkness, John and Harrison remind us that God still calls ordinary men to wage extraordinary battles against evil. Echoing Micah's cry for justice, The Lions of Mercer roars with the call to do right, love mercy, and walk boldly with God against the evil in our midst." - James Rosone, Former Intelligence Interrogator & Bestselling Author of the Monroe Doctrine Series "The Lions of Mercer is far and away my favorite military thriller read in several years. The plot, dealing with the horrors of human trafficking, feels ripped out of the headlines. Lovell & Kone are excellent with the tactical action sequences, but I was most impacted by characters I could root for. The story has heart and focuses on redemption, which is refreshing. Highly recommended. I can't wait for book two!" - Charles Hack, Author of the Hank Lin Mysteries and Space Warfare Group Series
