Product Description
Product Description
In her sizzling, award-winning novels of suspense, bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann delves into the adrenaline-rushed world of counter terrorism–and taps into the real passions of its brave men and women. Now in her widely anticipated hardcover debut, she spins a story of action, intrigue, and romance, as a U.S. Navy SEAL and an FBI agent race to unravel a mystery–while confronting their own unresolved feelings for each other. . . .
In his career as one of America’s elite warriors, Lt. Sam Starrett can do no wrong. In his private life, Sam–the king of one night stands–has done little right. Now, he’s waiting for a divorce and determined to stay active in his young daughter’s life. But when Sam shows up at the door of his ex-wife’s home in Sarasota, Florida, he makes a grisly discovery. His daughter is gone and the body of a woman lies brutally murdered on the floor.
FBI agent Alyssa Locke’s relationship with Sam has been overwhelmingly intense and nearly catastrophic, yet it refuses to end. The last time she saw Sam was six months earlier, when they worked together to stop terrorists from assassinating the U.S. President. Much to her dismay, Alyssa is assigned to lead the murder investigation and once again the two are face to face. When explosive information surfaces linking Sam to the still unsolved assassination plot, the stakes are raised. With her reputation hanging in the balance, and her loyalties in question, Alyssa is faced with an impossible dilemma:arrest a man she believes to be innocent, or risk her career.
While Alyssa tries to fight their intense attraction, Sam is determined to heat things up between them once again. And the complex case pushes them both to the wrong side of the law–and on the run to discover the truth. As more agents step into the chase, and with Sam’s daughter still unaccounted for, neither Alyssa nor Sam can predict just how deadly hot this situation is about to become. . . .
A thrilling novel that ranges back into the days of World War II, into friendships, families, liaisons, betrayals, and the code of honor that binds the U.S. Navy SEALs, Gone Too Far is an electrifying experience in suspense–and a brilliant tale of lives lived on the edge.

It's the book we've been waiting for and frankly, it's worth the wait. Suzanne Brockman's Troubleshooters series are quite frankly the most spiffy romance/action books you will read - ever. Buy them all now!
This time we're back with all the charactions you've seen before, most particularly this time Sam & Alyssa and Tom & Kelly.
Sam is in full Starrett-sauce mode, and Alyssa is again finding him rather hard to resist (well, you would).
They have to join together to figure out a terrorist plot (from 'Into the Night') and the end of the book takes some members of the team to the edge of a new direction altogether (sounds even more fun... if that's possible).
This isn't as passionate as 'Over the Edge' - which I think is the best of the series - but it's a great read: witty, intelligent, fun and steamy. What more could you want?
Roll on book 7.

Gone to Far is the 6th book in the Troubleshooters series about Navy SEAL Team 16. Its a real page turner - but be aware once you've read it, you may well feel compelled to then read some of the earlier books in the series, namely 'Defiant Hero' and most particularly 'Into The Night'. The events of which are picked up and run with at some speed in 'Gone to Far'. Suzanne Brockmann is particularly good at introducing a group of characters at the beginning of a series and then exploring some of them in more detail in each book. In this book its the turn of Alyssa Locke and Lt Sam Starret, who are 2 of the most interesting and established characters encountered in the entire Troubleshooters series. I think its the best Troubleshooters book so far.

Alyssa and Sam had an affair - blistering, exciting and could have been so much more - until Sam got married to the mother of his child. Fast forward eighteen months later, and Sam finds his wife's dead body - and his daughter missing. Alyssa, against her instincts decides to help Sam find his baby girl - and nothing more.
It might be best if you read the books before this one. It doesn't really stand up alone as a one off, and is probably more a 'bridge' for the rest of the series. I say this due to the relationship of Sam/Ayssa/Gina/Max - there's a LOT of back story there, and the author assumes that you know it - to the point where I wanted to put down the book and read the others before this one, so I could understand what was going on so much more.
Also, there is a lot of time shifts, from Sam in the present, flashbacks to various stages of Sam's childhood- to events that happened before he was born. Brockmann uses these events to paint a deeply complicated background of Sam Starrett that one appreciates - but after a while the time shifts became annoying and drew me out of the story.
A strength of the book was the pace of it - there was always something happening, something going on. You do have to pay attention while reading it, so that you can relish the payoff in the end. Alyssa and Sam aren't sweet characters, no- they are both very strong personalities who've hurt each other in the past, so there's caution to their interactions.
Overall, a decent read. I wouldn't go out of my way to read it again, and if it were one of the books that you bought in an airport, you'd feel rather disgruntled on the plane. Oh well.
ETA: read it again, especially after reading "Over the Edge" - yeah, I truly get Sam/Alyssa's relationship now.
