From the Publisher
“You will not sleep until you are finished with AGENT ZERO. A superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. The description of the action scenes transport us into a reality that is almost like sitting in a movie theater with surround sound and 3D (it would make an incredible Hollywood movie). I can hardly wait for the sequel.”–Roberto Mattos, Books and Movie ReviewsIn HUNTING ZERO (Book #3), when CIA operative Agent Zero finds out his two teenage girls have been kidnapped and are bound for a trafficking ring in Eastern Europe, he embarks on a high-octane chase across Europe, leaving a trail of devastation is his wake as he breaks all rules, risks his own life, and does everything he can to get his daughters back.Kent, ordered by the CIA to stand down, refuses. Without the backing of the agency, with moles and assassins on all sides, with a lover he can barely trust, and being targeted himself, Agent Zero must fight multiple foes to get his girls back.Up against the most deadly trafficking ring in Europe, with political connections reaching all the way to the top, it is an unlikely battle—one man against an army—and one that only Agent Zero can wage.And yet, his own identity, he realizes, may be the most perilous secret of all.
| My Thoughts: |
I am so done with this series now. Agent Zero acts like an angry dad without one ounce of professionalism and breaks every rule even though he knows the rules are his best bet. He acts stupid, emotional and the man I read about would never in a million years have become a top agent of the CIA, or an agent for anything other than a Jihad. His emotionally driven reactions reminded me EXACTLY of jihadi’s in other books I’ve read.
So goodbye Kent Steele, you’ve wasted enough of my time with your lying ass claims to be a secret agent. You’re a dumbass, that’s it.

Bookstooge's Reviews on the Road 
Had to shake my head at that description. Quite a pull quote followed by a synopsis that sounds like they were just ripping off Taken. Good idea not to waste your tie with this stuff.

What? You don’t throw on the ol’ 3piece when you’re reading? Shameful! Back in my day we wore 6 piece suits to bed…..

It’s getting a bit chilly in the mornings to go ala natural though, isn’t it? I’d assume pyjamas just out of a survival instinct.

It was complete garbage.
I started the first Taken movie but when I realized the girl was going to sex traffickers, I just stopped. Even if nothing happened to her, I wanted no part of that as entertainment. So I hadn’t made the connection, but man, now that you mention it.
And I’m cutting my losses. Tie or Time, ain’t nobody got thyme for this! 😉

Absolutely. Nothing was enjoyable about this read. Reading about angry out of control people doesn’t count as fun as far as I’m concerned.

Tell me about it. This was like watching one of those dumb ya tv shows where drama is built in with such a heavy hand that it breaks the watchers back.
