Synopsis

The thrilling follow-up to Alpha continues the Jad Bell series from New York Times bestselling author Greg Rucka.

Still recovering from traumas both physical and emotional, Jad Bell is tasked with bringing in the Uzbek, principal organizer of the terrorist attack that nearly cost Bell his ex-wife and daughter. But the Uzbek's just the beginning: his employer, the Architect, has already set in motion another, even more devastating attack.

At the center of it all are two women under deep cover. One, as beautiful as she is deadly, has just been dispatched on American soil to execute the Architect's deadly plans. The other is an American just emerging from a complex web of lies, whose intel may be the only hope Bell has to stop the assault before it begins. But after years of pretending to be somebody else, can she be trusted?

Reviews

Goodreads review by Doug on December 30, 2014

Doggone it, I really liked Alpha, the first in the Jad Bell series. Bravo is good but not as good as its predecessor. I may have commented before that I'm not a fan of romance in thrillers. And, sex scenes slow the action and, I think, are superfluous. If you can't show that two characters care for......more

Goodreads review by Jasper on September 06, 2014

good but not great. there's something missing from these Jad Bell novels to bring it to the level of Rucka's Atticus Kodiak books. i can't put my finger on it. the pacing and story are just fine. maybe it's the characters being a little flat? definitely recommended, ALPHA included, but perhaps wait fo......more

Great book. Shame there won't be more in the series......more

Goodreads review by Den on January 24, 2022

A fun, tense thriller that picks up the threads of ALPHA and does a cat-and-mouse between good and evil and government officials who don't care about either. The story involves Jad Bell's special ops group as they capture and interrogate (no gore here) the evil mastermind behind the attack on a theme......more

Goodreads review by Matt on July 27, 2015

After an initial book with an instantly sellable premise (Die Hard At Disneyland!), Bravo proves a sequel cut from the same cloth (Alpha was intended to begin a series of novels by Greg Rucka centering around Delta Force operative Jad Bell) but about an entirely different subject matter. And while A......more


Quotes

PRAISE FOR ALPHA:

"Alpha is hands down, the most exciting, adrenaline-pumping, butt-kicking novel I've read in years. Rucka is the real deal. If this one doesn't make you stay up late rooting for the good guys, you don't have a heartbeat. Highly recommended!"—Christopher Reich, New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Deception and Numbered Account

"Read Greg Rucka. It's that simple. Open one of his books and what you've got is a fistful of dynamite."—The Cincinnati Enquirer

"Rucka gets his new series featuring Ex-Delta Force Master Sergeant Jad Bell off to a smashing start with this pitch-perfect thriller. This lean, mean thriller with just the right amount of character development and unexpected complications will appeal to all who enjoy this genre but particularly to readers who like a strong hero along the lines of Lee Child's Jack Reacher. Highly recommended."—Library Journal (starred review)
