About the Book

Title: Line of Fire
Series: Dauntless Defenders #1
Author: Taylor S Newport
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: November 7, 2024
Genre: Christian Action Thriller

The enemy is relentless, but they made one fatal
mistake: they underestimated him. Australian mercenary Tyler Reid, known as “The Ghost of OZ”, has a talent for evading detection, a skill that has caught the eye of multiple government agencies. When a shadowy group targets a CIA
asset and her revolutionary drug ND1, the Deputy
Director calls in Tyler. Eager for action, Tyler takes
the job. He soon realizes that the enemy is not only
after the drug, but also out for his blood. Then the
mission goes south, and he is forced to seek an
unlikely ally.

For covert foreign operative Alexandra Romanova,
freedom is a distant dream. Escaping one prison
only led her to a more dangerous one. Her deadly skills are at her boss’s disposal, but she’ll use them only to escape. Her final chance hinges on retrieving ND1, but the elusive Ghost of Oz complicates things. Tyler Reid isn’t an easy mark, and the better she gets to know him, the more she questions the mission she’s tasked with. Soon she faces a dire choice: kill a man she is convinced is good, or pay with her own life.

As Tyler and Alex venture beyond their orders, the line between enemy and ally blurs. On the edge of failure, trust becomes a dangerous gamble with every decision dragging them deeper into the line of fire. As enemies close in and alliances shift, they are ensnared in a ruthless battle where survival depends on split-second choices. In this high-stakes fight, time is running out, and the margin for error is zero.

Line of Fire is the first book in the Christian thriller series Dauntless Defenders. It is NOT a standalone novel.

My Thoughts

This novel offers intrigue that blasts out of its pages and action that is non-stop. I was absolutely mesmerized by this book! The action and drama went from intense to explosive as Tyler Reid tries to forget his past a d safeguard those in danger from a rogue CIA agency. I was reminded again and again of Jack Reacher, James Bond and Mission Impossible. Tyler’s bravery is exemplary and his past failures keep him motivated to succeed in finding a missing daughter and destroying the rogue agency. This is a brilliantly written spy novel, combined with military tactics and what can only be described as heroic actions. The pages flew by as I raced to the end. I was completely invested in the lives of the dynamic and interests holding characters. I kept thinking that the suspense and death tally couldn’t climb much higher, but the author continued to surprise me with an amazing finesse in storytelling and in creating believable and vulnerable characters. This is a story of good versus evil in which evil seems to be winning. I am already looking forward with breathe holding anticipation to the next novel in the series!
