Choke Point (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I've been reading the Ghost Recon series since its' first entry, and I've been impressed since the very beginning. While the author of this book is not the same one who penned the first two, he still brings the visceral, fast-paced action that I loved so much from the previous installments. Most of the characters from the first two books are not present here, save the sniper Diaz and the team leader Mitchell, who is now the leader of the GST. Telep brings in a new slew of characters who may seem stereotypical at first, (troubled leader Ross, quiet older member Pepper, gun-ho 30K, and nerdy Kozak), but he does a good job of developing these characters throughout the story so that we really do care about them by the end of it. Telep loves to stimulate the reader's curiosity. He reveals little snippets of the characters' pasts that make us interested in them, but he never reveals too much. We as readers look forward to these little flashbacks a midst the nearly endless action and violence. While the plot can be hard to follow sometimes, it makes for an interesting story. I don't want to give away any details, but if you're intrigued by stories involving terrorists, special forces, and government conspiracies then you will absolutely love this book. Overall, "Choke Point" is a worthy entry into the Ghost Recon series. While the action can be a little repetitive, Telep keeps the book interesting with a ton of plot twists and interesting characters. 'd recommend it to any fans of the first two books, along with people who enjoy Tom Clancy, war stories, and any other work by Peter Telep. Normally, video game-based novels are pathetic attempts to cash in. This might be an attempt at cashing in, but it's also a great thriller, with some good character development, a suspenseful, plausible scenario, and the same liberal amounts of dry humor I came to appreciate in the game 'Ghost Recon: Future Soldier'. Peter Telep likes these characters and these scenarios, and weaves them into a fast-paced action and suspense novel that had me hooked for the entire book. Outstanding.
