Desciption
Nearing retirement, an independent contractor enabling CIA technical operations mentors the next generation of patriots in their craft until tragedy pulls him back into the game to rollback China’s global ambitions.Jon Prescott had made mistakes in his life, as most people do, but there were some decisions he had made in his past he wanted to rectify. Following 9/11, he started a journey along a path toward redemption, a path that would lead him to the vast stretches of federal lands out west where he would train the next generation of special operators and technical intelligence officers.Along the way, he participates in clandestine intelligence collection operations to determine China's relationship with Iran and its foray into Africa. He chases an IRGC adversary into Somalia where justice is administered; he finds relative peace in the aftermath of the operation and acknowledges the contributions of those often forgotten.
Review
Author Mike Bennett is a retired Army officer with over 30 years experience within his field and LAS VEGAS ON TWELVE DOLLARS A DAY is his debut novel, a story of redemption.This is not my usual genre of reading but I decided to read it anyway as it had been recommended to me by someone, and I have to admit I enjoyed the read, I found it to be really interesting and actually, for me, it was very informative too, I really liked how the author took the time to explain things like the why certain conflicts arose, cultural behaviours and even the use and terminology of the military and some of its devices. This novel was very well written and extremely detailed and informative.Highly recommended not just to anyone that has an interest in the computer world or or the military but to anyone who would like to have a greater understanding of some of the worlds conflicts of war (like me).
