Blood of My Kin (Tom Greer Thrillers Book 2) Kindle Edition

by C. G. Cooper (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 964 ratings
"A swank resort in North Carolina. A shanty in South Africa. A ritzy condo in Cabo. What do all these places have in common? They're the latest locales where I feel the raw end of destiny's spear... Sorry. That sounded melodramatic. My fault. I get excited. I'll save the soliloquies for my next Shakespeare ensemble. What I was trying to say is: Are you ready for Round Two?" - Tom Greer

If you like Stephen Hunter's Bob Lee Swagger, WEB Griffin's Killer McCoy, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Ted Bell's Alex Hawke, and Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, you will love Tom Greer.


Readers are saying...
"Cooper got me hooked in the first chapter."
"I can't say that I have enjoyed any series as much as this one."
"Boy is it hard to work when a book is this good. Hard to go to sleep in time."

I asked readers what my books stand for and here's what they said:

"Honor, integrity and family." - Adam E.

"Truth, freedom and the American way." - Alvah D.

"Doing what's right." - Ken S.

"Service. Honesty. Dedication." - Vicki M.

"Overcoming evil." - Ken J.

"Truth and Justice." - Kevin H.

"Justice. Teamwork. Love of country." - Sherry C.

When asked what authors they read when they're not in C. G. Cooperland, they mentioned David Baldacci, Mike Ryan, Brad Taylor, Ted Bell, Jason Kasper, David Archer, Andrew Watts and Leo J. Maloney. It's great to be associated with such an amazing cast of writers.

We're not just a list of books around here. We're a family of readers who come together to share a common bond. Why don't you join us? We'd love to have you.

Semper Fidelis,

C. G. Cooper

    Good mystery overall but the ‘back-and-forth’ of setting background for Greer and explaining his newly found relationship with the members of the amazing Corp Justice series slowed down the action Cooper is known for.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another book you will stay up all night to finish
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    When I was growing up I had a Pastor who every Sunday delivered a sermon that seemed to speak directly to me.

    Mr. Cooper seems to have channeled this Pastor. There are things that tug at my heartstrings, like the references to losing family to war. My son was in Afghanistan and a sniper chose the Marine twelve feet away from him. This book also deals with parents emotional ties to their children. How the loss affects the parent. It also deals with adult child to father relationships over three generations. And those are just the background issues. The main issue in the book supersedes these. The plots twist and turn and every time you feel you have a lock on it he throws a twisting careening turn at you.

    Another stellar foray into the hearts and minds of the military and political issues that we face

    I honestly don't know how Mr. Cooper can maintain the ability to write top shelf books no matter what the genre. Anything he writes, from children to adult themes is spot on.

    I would love to see any of these books in a movie. Although I doubt the screenwriters would have his ability to deliver the goods.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good story
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    At first I was not understanding the format. After a few chapters I started to understand the reason.
    There are two things I didn't like about the story. First, has to do with the information left out of the chapter. It leads to odd jumps on what happened to connect the story together. Second, I didn't understand the two interactions with the children at the end at Stokes compound. I think expanding one would be better than having the two.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2020

    Always a favorite author of mine who never disappoints. This second novel in this series does not disappoint for one page...not even one.

    It is action packed with diverse locations and hopefully you have your seat belt buckled in for the ride. Trust me, you will not want to put it down once you start reading this one. Wow...Just wow.

    There are twists and turns that will leave you shaking your head. The characters are well developed, the novel contains a multi layered plot and the action intensifies as it proceeds... For me as a reader, it doesn't get any better than that...

    Most highly recommended.

    Sempi Fi to the author...

    This work of fiction is either mind boggling, for all of it twists and turn ,or it eye opening for it likely true. The conspiracies and action keep you glued but the relationships are what you keep reading for. Love this guys talent for telling a story and his commitment to his characters. His ability to keep cross referencing old characters and bring then in to new series without having them take over is awesome. Like seeing an old friend, after a long absence. Well done Sir.

    I literally said “WHAT” out loud when I came to the end. I was not prepared for this novel to be over. The twists and the turns keep you reading that’s for sure. Now I just have to wait for the next instalment. I really enjoyed it and that’s all I want to say because I don’t want to give anything away.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The marine
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 31, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I found this book frustratingly annoying. Tom Greer, ex marine, is still trying to find his children who were kidnapped. His tactics are unorthodox and it reminded me of the accusations that marines are all braun and no brain. His actions were not honed and precise like a marine should be. The storyline was disjointed and there were many loose ends. The ending is too sweet and there are many unanswered questions verging on the dystopian. There is however a twist which will lead to more of the same. Not my favourite character.
