Moral Imperative (Corps Justice Book 7) Kindle Edition

by C. G. Cooper (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 4,051 ratings

A growing Islamic threat... An army ignored by the world... A Marine who won't sit on the sidelines...

The Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIS) is capitalizing on the neglect of war-weary world leaders. No one in Iraq is safe. Christians herded like cattle. Whole communities torn apart. Marine Cal Stokes has had enough. With the quiet support of U.S. President Brandon Zimmer, Stokes and his closest friends return to the Middle East to take the battle to the enemy even if it means being cut off from ever coming home. This is about what's right, not what's popular, a moral imperative...

WHY C. G. COOPER MATTERS

Fiction has the power to change lives.

Pay a visit to Cooper Country and you’ll understand why. With his unique voice and flair for creating characters you’d love to hang out with, C. G. Cooper imparts every one of his novels with messages that perfectly illuminate what Faulkner called, “the human heart in conflict with itself.” In them, characters confront hard truths about life, the necessity of war, the military industrial complex, and why and how good men and women die.

But there are messages within the messages.

There is the power of the individual to triumph over evil against overwhelming odds; the struggle of good people against their inner demons; there is brotherhood, family, the discovery of allies in unexpected places, struggles with faith; there is community; there is authenticity; Cooper’s heart is on every page, beating hard and fast through action and moments of tenderness alike.

Expect high-octane action, slow-burn thrills, and gut-wrenching drama. Expect the ultimate conflict of the human heart.

This is Cooper Country. Lives will change.

THE LOWDOWN

Drawing on his days as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps—a stint that came on the heels of a degree in foreign affairs from UVA—Cooper sifted his experience through his vivid imagination and created Corps Justice, the first novel in the beloved Corps Justice series. Thus, a band of characters was born that would go on to enthrall readers throughout 17 novels and counting. With more than 2 million book downloads and multiple appearances in the Amazon Top 100, C. G. Cooper remains one of the most successful USA TODAY and Amazon best-selling authors.

In 2020, he won the prestigious James Webb Award presented by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation for his novel Chain of Command.

In addition to bouncing around the country in search of the perfect vacation (turns out, it is anywhere with his family), Cooper has called Nashville home ever since his final Marine duty station. When not enjoying the laid-back lifestyle of Music City, he’s doing his best to add more novels to the growing list at cg-cooper.com.

    An odd group of Special Forces come together from Japan, Bulgaria, England and the US to form a deadly machine. Each group has their own baggage, but end up brothers.
    A little slow to get started because of the background explanation of each group, but a good read.

    Moral Imperative is the final published novel in The Corps Justice Series and I'm sorry that the next book in the series isn't already available, leaving me at the edge of the cliff for months to find out what's up with Andy!

    These last two books had me hooked from the beginning - forcing me to finish each story in single setting - real page turners! In this story, Cal and his band of Merry Men - a combined team of elite forces from countries around the world - complete an arduous schedule of training in order to take on ISIS - a few good men against the many! Their raids also include the tracking and elimination of recruits, who had joined ISIS from other countries around the world and are now returning home to visit families. The terrorist group and individuals of ISIS will soon learn that there is no sanctuary.

    The team faces scrutiny when one of the new members reveals a secret that has the potential to destroy Cal's group of warriors and trust can only go so far! How do they handle this? I'm also thinking that the great success of this book is due to the author writing about real life issues of today. ISIS is real, dangerous and expanding...Mr. Cooper has offered a solution for their elimination!

    Great job Mr. Cooper - I look forward to your continuing stories!

    Yet another masterpiece in the Corps Justice series by G.C. Cooper - this time Book 7, titled "Moral Imperative: A Patriotic Thriller.
    Sadly, I've gotten off track and behind on this series. But it feels good to back within the confines of Corps Justice when all around me is circling the drain. For, in Corps Justice - unlike today's world - there are men and political leaders willing to take on the challenge of facing up to evil in the world, whatever form it takes. And that is a comforting feeling - even if it is only fiction.
    But this time out, Cal Stokes and merry band of professional soldiers & Marines take on the growing problem of ISIS, and their worldwide recruiting efforts. And while in a novel, of course, everything always goes according to script - it's still comforting to see that there are indeed ways to deal with this despicable scourge, if only our leaders had the backbone and the foresight to leave it up to the professionals.
    POINT OF NOTE: This tale occurs at a time prior to ISIS becoming the large military presence they are today. Here, they are in their infancy, when they are most vulnerable, and their size in numbers and territory conquered isn't anything like what we know it to be presently. And yet, the lesson still applies.
    G.C. Cooper, using the Corps Justice cast, has written a viable plan to exterminate ISIS. Given the "point of note" above, the job IS considerably more difficult currently. But can be done just the same. For author Cooper shows us what highly trained, well equipped forces can do when left to do what they do best. Be it in a novel - or the real world - the principle remains the same.

    "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men should do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
