Description

With “an unforgettable cast of characters” (W.E.B. Griffin) and nonstop action, Mike Maden’s Drone kicks off an explosive thriller series exploring the hard realities of drone warfare. Troy Pearce is the CEO of Pearce Systems, a private security firm specializing in drone technologies. A former CIA SOG operative, Pearce used his intelligence and combat skills to hunt down America’s enemies—until he opted out, having seen too many friends sacrificed for political expediency. Now Pearce and his team choose which battles they will take on. Pearce is done with the United States government for good, until a pair of drug cartel hit men assault a group of American students on American soil. New U.S. president Margaret Myers secretly authorizes Pearce Systems to locate and destroy the killers wherever they are. Now Pearce and his team are in a showdown with the hidden powers behind the El Paso attack—unleashing a host of unexpected repercussions. Read more

The book's story begins in El Paso,Texas. A hummer pulls up at an evet. Two gunmen step out of the hummer and kills several attendees with machine guns. One of the casualties is the son of the President of the United States,Ryan Martinez. Through a thorough investigation it is found that the murders were pulled off by the two sons of Cesar Castillo,one of the biggest lords in Mexico. After discussion with President Margaret Myers the Mexican government makes the decision two bring in the twin sons of Cesar Castillo.

To say the least there is a nationwide manhunt for Ali Abdi. the narcos with the help of Iranians continue terrorist attacks against the United States. The United States finally handles the forces of evil. It makes a perfect ending. I hope this author does more stories. This book was thoroughly enjoyable. ... show more

    • A very interesting book.
Format: Kindle
This book, in my opinion, has a very interesting plot from the national to international politics. I found the tech aspects of war also interesting and thought provoking and the characters believable. If you enjoy these things in a very fast moving action packed book then you should really enjoy this book. I have already purchased the next book in this series. ... show more

    • A fantastic read, buckle up your seatbelt before you start!
Format: Kindle
Wow, fast-paced, packed with spine-tingling action, and a great story that builds and builds until you think the world is going to explode in war. I love the ending, but of course will not let you in on it! Very very clever story telling, it will keep you reading late into the night! It is a rare author that can mix great personal interactions, fast-pace action, and a constantly building level of excitement in the same book! Mike, keep writing, I will read all your books!!! ... show more

    • Worth reading, but could have used a more proactive editor.
Format: Kindle
I didn't like the characterization of older people as big bellys, wide asses, and ropey-veined legs in too tight shirts and shorts. It was unnecessary and out of place. Also, the ending was too abrupt and seemed incomplete. The premise of the story was good, but the characters were a little bit one-dimensional. It seemed to jump around too much, never really fleshing out the scenes or characters. ... show more

    • I liked the book
Format: Kindle
I like stories about what our Government is capable of and what goes on behind the scenes. This was a very good read for that reason and would recommend it to those who like this kind of reading. It is easy to follow but still has enough twists and turns to keep you interested.

    • Pulls you in from page one!
Format: Hardcover
Mike Maden paints a compelling picture of a world in which conventional war as we know it has faded from view. Though at first an unwilling hero, Troy Pearce (part commando and part techno-genius) becomes the long arm of the law, dispensing justice to those we all wish would vacate our planet. Of course, along the way we see far too many complexities of justice and politics to think this will be an easy or total fix. It certainly won't be a pleasant one. Amidst the occasional blacks and whites of Maden's world are many more greys, and we can't help but question our tendency to cheer for the violent solutions. The characters are well-developed, with enough back story given when needed, but not so much that we lose sight of the action. The plot twists and turns quite a bit, so hang on. I found myself re-reading a bit of the more detailed accounts of the political elements, but considering this was written by a man with a poli-sci PhD, I'd conclude that he only scratched the surface. Good choice, that. We know enough to accept the political maze, but don't quite feel like we're drinking from a fire hydrant somewhere on Pennsylvania Avenue. And never fear, because just when you thought you were getting either a technical or political crash course, Maden mixes in some good 'ol blood and guts. And fire. And explosions. Oh yeah...something for everybody. Can't wait to see where the wind will take Troy and his flock of drones next. In any case, we won't see it coming. ... show more
