Product Description

Product Description

When a drug cartel attacks a cop, the rules apply. When they attack a cop's family, there are no rules.

Sergeant Robin Marlette's special narcotics squad has killed a dangerous drug courier and the brother of a prominent Mexican drug overlord. When Marlette's daughter is kidnapped as an act of revenge, it's a race against time to save her. Marlette and his team are very good at what they do-but are they good enough to defeat a drug cartel on its own turf?

Written by a 40-year law enforcement veteran, GOTU puts you side by side with the law enforcement brotherhood as they battle the world's most vicious criminals. GOTU will have you rooting for the good guys and turning the pages well into the night.

Praise for GOTU:

"GOTU is an action-packed roller coaster of a story about a team of tough cops waging war on the biggest drug cartel in Mexico. The book has the hard-hitting realism only a SWAT cop like Mike McNeff can write about because he spent years busting drug smugglers crossing the Ariaona/Mexican border." -Bob Mayer, New York Times Best Selling Author and former Special Forces A-Team Commander

"From the very first sentence, GOTU yanks the reader straight into the middle of non-stop action. McNeff's passion, credibility and real world experience is on every page; you won't be able to put this thriller down!" -Dave "Buck Savage" Smith, Author and Nationally Renowned Police Survival Expert

"GOTU - An exciting experience which captures the reader and throws them into the heart of the action from the first page onwards...." -Paul Anthony, Author and retired British detective

"Mike McNeff was always known as a cop's cop. He has brought his years of experience in law enforcement, along with his immense knowledge of the Southwest border to create a thriller that is as close to the real life drama of the war being waged against the drug cartels in Mexico as any publication out there. GOTU is action packed and a book you will find hard to put down." -Roger Vanderpool, retired Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety and retired Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona

3.0 out of 5 stars A thriller that packs a whole lot of punches 26 May 2012
By The Kindle Book Review TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
GOTU is a thrilling and action-driven police drama that moves at a surprisingly fast pace, including frequent violent clashes, family drama and much more. At the heart of the novel is Robin Marlette, a maverick sergeant of the special narcotics squad and someone who everybody respects and looks up to. After the shooting of the brother of one of Mexico's leading drugs lords, things start to get a bit sticky.
From the first page, the novel is littered with technically sound language recreating the action and gun fights between Marlette's crack team and the Mexican drugs barons. As someone who doesn't read this type of literature often, it did make the beginning quite hard to get through but once I got into it, it improved significantly. The power of McNeff's work is the fact that Robin is not only a fantastic worker and policeman, we're given a hint to his background, his family life and it makes him a much more rounded character.
The only element of the novel that did not work for me in the slightest was the events that occurred between Robin and Angie, an agent on his squad. It detracted a little from the character I felt I had come to know and made me slightly disappointed. This element could have been left out and the novel would have remained thoroughly enjoyable.
The climax of this novel was fantastic, it felt like I had been drawn into a Hollywood blockbuster movie and as the story concludes, the reader is left in no doubt that there is more to come from Marlette and his squad. A thriller that packs a whole lot of punches and really captivates once you're in the thick of it.

GOTU

By Mike McNeff

The Guardians of The Universe (GOTU) is an action packed police drama. Which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The opening few chapters of the book gripped me because two things became obvious. First the detail, the little things like the cops find an assault riffle. They draw a line in the sand around the gun. They remove the magazine, then remove the round in the gun, put the bullet that was in the gun into the magazine and then put the magazine into a utility pocket in the uniform. See I love that kind of procedural detail. That's just one example, the story follows a specialist police unit in the war on drug trafficking. The second thing I noticed was the author Mike McNeff has been around the block a few times... Mike is a good writer and writes from a vast pool of experience. Overall books like this will always have guns, drugs, greed helicopters the women that hang around gangsters, but this book comes at subject from a slightly different angle. The police in America have a dangerous job to do. Day in day out... their families have no idea if they are coming home. This book makes you think and at the same time it is highly entertaining.

The book is highly recommended The review was of the kindle edition

What can I say about this book..........

From start to finish with this book Mike McNeff grabs you by the seat of the pants and drags you along at breakneck speed through the world of an interdiction drug unit

It's fast paced with enough action to keep anyone happy

It's true what they say..............you don't touch a cops family

Am already looking forward to a follow up to this
