AN ARMY OF TWO FOR THE AGES...

Jason King and Will Slater, the two most lethal operatives in government history, are out on their own. They’ve been through their personal journeys into hell, but they unite in New York City as brothers in arms. So begins a vigilante crusade against the city’s morally bankrupt inhabitants.

But their private war doesn’t last long...

Sometimes you can’t escape the past, no matter how hard you try. They’re revisited by old government contacts with an agenda, and soon enough they’re fighting tooth and nail to prevent the destabilisation of the entire country. Outnumbered, overwhelmed, beat down, battered, broken — it's just another day at the office.

Witness the unification of the two baddest men on the planet...

★★★★★ - "I think you'll understand what makes them tick. The deepest part of their hearts are exposed.”
★★★★★ - "Jason and Will together. What could be better? Powerful, tense, emotional and fast-paced."
★★★★★ - "Two minds that are so coordinated makes for excitement whatever they do. Matt’s really hit one out of the park with this book."
★★★★★ - "The ensuing combat takes on more importance as family, treachery, and the sheer volume of corruption are factored in. This first in the King-Slater team-up does not disappoint!"

So... Some time ago I became enthralled in the Jason King series and voraciously read all of those and everything Matt Rogers had written up to that point. Sadly, it was over and I had to find other books to read. Then, to my delight, I got a notice about one of the Will Slater books. I immediately rushed to my Kindle store to get it and was very, VERY excited to see that there were a number of Will Slater books now written and released. I immediately read ALL of them and just finished this first book of the King & Slater series. But now I am all done again! Alas... I must twiddle my thumbs for a bit now until King & Slater return. Actually, I have not read any of the "Shorts" so maybe I will do that while awaiting the next K&S installment. Anyways.... As always, I LOVE, love, love Matt Rogers' books, storylines, character development, edge-of-your-seat action, etc. Are there things to criticize? Could I nitpick and point out grammatical errors or repetitive content or some editing errors? Maybe... But it would require serious level nitpicking with microscopic analysis and I'm not some experienced, published novelist who has any business criticizing any incredible author who is capable of writing this many awesome books with such creativity and extensive knowledge of numerous topics. Really, I can't imagine even a professional critic having anything but positive things to say... And if they did make negative commentaries it would only be because they are jealous!! :-) Thank you Matt for being a big part of my literary life! I can't wait for your next book!!

I wasn't sure I'd like this book at first but after getting 20 or 30 pages in, I was hooked. HARD!
The book certainly deserves FIVE stars but I felt compelled to make known some discrepancies with regards to weaponry and tactics. Nothing major or glaring but enough and frequent enough to be a distraction for myself because I KNOW weapons and tactics. NOT to the insane levels as portrayed in this novel (could ANYBODY have the crazy skill sets as portrayed in this book? Doubtful.) but to someone who has more than just a passing familiarity with them, it is like a Lighthouse.
In the middle of a desert.
You just cannot unsee such things.
All that aside this was a very engaging book. Once the hooks are set you need to hold on for a fun ride.
Keep 'em coming, Pardner.

King and Slater are exceptional warriors in their own right. Together, they are unstoppable. Non- stop action makes this book hard to put down. Still, what's really interesting is the way they interact. They are by no means normal in any way: physically, psychologically, mentally or even socially. This makes it difficult for them to form normal human relationships in their lives both because of their phenomenal talents and because of the danger that surrounds them. Their friendship answers some very human needs in each other and forges a special bond despite their marked differences.

They fight hard. They love hard. They live life the hardest! Matt Rogers leaves out all the minutia and gets right to the heart of the story. We see just enough of the inside of the characters heads to understand them, but not chase a psychological rabbit. Full on action at the edge of your seat!

This King and Slater book doesn't disappoint and some romance was welcomed. The story went a different
direction and I pulled an all-time nighter to finish it. I like this whole series of these vigilantes seeking justices.The author knows his characters well and I'd highly recommend the international politics and p!ot.

Good to have them as a team again. Unfortunately too much of the same ol same ol. Decent read up until about half way then just way too much shooting and killing. You could literally skip 10 pages at a time.

This was a new author for me. Having not read any of the prior books, I felt like I was coming in mid show. Did a good job of highlighting the past to allow new readers to jump aboard. It is hard to stand out in this genre, but this book did. It had the action and globe trotting of a Bourne book and the buddy vibe of Spencer for Hire. A great combination. Looking forward to next book.

Very interesting and exciting story. My only knock on it was I found it to be pretty unrealistic. I would have also enjoyed it more if the team had stayed together

Well written, a new start for 2 very successful series. Unites Jason King and Will Slater on a new path of destruction of societies enemies. Hard to stop reading chapter after chapter especially before bedtime. The background of the union is very detailed but crafted by an expert writer which helps you fully understand what is going on. Can’t wait for book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best team up ever
Reviewed in India on April 19, 2019

Jason King and Will Slater bring so much mayhem to the fold that the thrills never stop coming in the pages of this book. There is high tension and high stakes. The action is as real as it gets. There are consequences to every move and the team takes a lot of beating to go through everything. Wonderful read. Rogers dials up the action but doesn't forget to include an emotional angle as well.

Looking forward to what the duo get up to next!

Absolutely brilliant; I couldn't put it down and read the whole novel in one sitting. Rogers develops the intricacies of the relationship between King and Slater in fine fashion. Well written, fast paced and tight; a world where men aren't afraid of their masculinity, yet accept their vulnerabilities. Having read all of the Black Force, King and Slater novels; this is up there with the best. The world needs heroes and Matt Rogers gives us two of the best.
