Scavenger Hunt
"Three Men. One Last Mission."
A team leader who is haunted by past mistakes is thrust into making life and death choices that threaten to break him.
In a war-torn country, Lance Garner and his team wait to be decommissioned and retired when a new mission diverts them. They have to get an intact mutant brain. Far from home and with failing support, Lance’s past comes back to haunt him, putting his mission and team in jeopardy.
When a massive radiation storm hits, the team finds shelter in an underground complex, only to find an enemy they hadn’t expected. Bent on killing the team, their adversary discovers the means to destroy everything and everyone Lance and his team love. Lance must overcome the mistakes of his past to keep his team alive long enough to return home while racing to stop the enemy.
If Lance fails, the world will never be the same.

Five-Star Rating - Yep, there's a mutant brain in this part sci-fi, part action thriller... the story moves fast, it's not very long, and it reminds you of the kind of flicks Roger Corman made for the drive-in. Some good plotting that'll keep you turning the pages.

Scavenger Hunt was a fun book to read.
I liked how the perspective switched back and forth between the humans and the mutants.
I particularly liked the "Lance vs. Ryker" sequence.
This book would make a great "Love, Death and Robots" episode!

Five-Star Rating -
This is a story of a team working together on a dangerous mission in a dystopian environment inhabited by hostile mutants. The extreme dangers continue to compound. It’s an exciting thriller right up to the end.

This one is a suspense thriller. I don’t read much of this type. I have read some James Herbert and Stephen King. One of the things I liked about Herbert was when things were starting to look up, he’d pull the rug out from under you. You do some of that…
I like the whole team working together in a dangerous mission concept.
I like the compounding of multiple concurrent dangers…
The way your non-unique chapter names are simply character names reminds me of Jeff Shaara books.
I like when you describe a scene from one character’s perspective and then replay the scene from another character’s perspective.
I like the sympathy for the mutant aspect…
… good job keeping it exciting right up to the end.

“…a dystopian piece that addresses the futility of nuclear war as there are no winners. … It is also a well-timed piece of writing given the current situation with Vladimir Putin and Ukraine.”
