Description

A novel inspired by #1 New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney’s Audible Original drama, Armored.

Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent—a professional bodyguard—and he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is, he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg. 
 
There's not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in New Jersey. For a man like Josh, this is purgatory on earth, but miracles can occur even in Paramus. 
 
A lucky run-in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo—the Devil's Spine. Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.

    Lots of action. Some of it was a little far fetched but all in all a pretty good story

    I was impressed with the author’s Gray Man books. In Armored, Greany creates another amazing hero in a can’t put in down, modern day action, drama, intrigue filled read. I can’t wait for the next installment and highly recommend!

    I enjoyed most of the thrills (highs & lows). Stop saying African American unless you are going to call all white men Caucasians. Refer to people as people (some black some white. It’s so silly. I as a black person hate the reference. Hope you listen!

    Fast paced and hard to put down. I liked it a lot. I hope there is another in writing with the main character, Josh Duffy.

    Author spent too much print on describing each and every type of weapon used. Decent storylines.
  • Like a 13 year old wrote this
