Armored is the beginning of a new series from Mark Greaney. "Josh Duffy is now a Mall cop after losing a leg during an assignment for a military contractor. He runs into an old buddy who convinces him to do one more run with a different contractor. This contract will have them escorting UN officials on a secretive mission deep into cartel country. It's very dangerous but financially very lucrative - and Duffy is desperate for money to care for his family. But he has no idea what's really going on or just how much danger he's in..." This might be the first story I've read where the private security contractors are the main characters. There do seem to be some stereotypes here but it's not overly done. Duffy is the one with a different code. The one that the others look to when it looks like there's no way out. Lots of action in this one - Lots. I did not see the couple of twists that Greaney throws in there near the end. You think it's a straightforward story and then BOOM - you're headed another way. Duffy's wife, Nichole, is also an integral part and together they make a formidable team. Hope to see more of them in future books. A wild ride from Greaney. #armored #markgreaney #berkleypublishing #berkleypub #netgalley #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CftcpXHL-o-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
