America’s most elite soldiers are about to uncover one of history’s deadliest secrets.... When a raid on an insurgent safehouse leads to a clue to decoding one of the world’s greatest mysteries, the Voynich manuscript, which reveals a recipe for creating the ultimate biological weapon of mass destruction, Delta operator Jack Sigler must forge a new black ops team to avert catastrophe. While bullets fly, he recruits a group of deadly warriors with dangerous secrets, assigning each member a chess piece callsign and dubbing them Chess Team.But nothing is what it seems…and no one can be trusted. As the search for the truth about the manuscript moves across Asia and into the darkest reaches of human history, Chess Team must battle enemies beyond comprehension—nightmare creatures of myth and perverse creations of science—to preserve a secret as old as life itself.In 2009, bestselling novelist Jeremy Robinson launched the adventures of Jack Sigler and Chess Team. Now, learn how it all began! Witness Chess Team’s beginning as King, Queen, Bishop, Rook, Knight and the elusive Deep Blue come together to form the only military force smart enough and dangerous enough to face the world’s most deadly, most high tech and most monstrous threats.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2013

    Prime shows us how the Chess Team came together and a little more of the characters of those involved.
    We first see Jack Sigler as part of a Delta team on a mission that ends badly and as he considers his career he is given a new mission to find what went wrong. To fulfil this new mission he must form a new team, a team that later becomes Chess Team. Throughout the book he struggles with the decision to put him in command, with the hierarchy's confidence in him whilst his flags at certain moments but we also see the potential that those who had the confidence in him also saw. The potential that we see in later books come to fruition.
    I've tried desperately hard not to give any spoilers so I'll end with saying simply that if you are a fan of the Chess Team, this book will not disappoint.

    Well what a Rock and Roll ride this is.

    Jeremy up to his usual big ideas and I loved it....

    For me the only slight niggle and I am talking miniscule here - is that when the Guys get their new handles I was getting a wee bit mixed up on who was who - King and Queen were fine but the rest - I had to keep on going back to see who was who...

    These men are the energizer bunnies and I love the way that real life is mixed in with big weapons etc.

    Although this is no 5 it is actually the prequel to all the other "Chess Team" books - so this was where I started.

    I am off to read the 1st book in the series now....

    Great work Jeremy and glad to be back in your world.... wish I had not had the break - but that does mean that I have loads to catch up on......

    Prime is the perfect prequel to the Chess team series. I know it’s listed as book 1 but I like to treat it as Jeremy Robinson first wrote it, which is more of Chess team book 0. It takes us back to before the Chess team was formed and lets us see what lead to this group of people coming together and forming the ultimate world saving team. Prime is just like everything I’ve come to expect from a Robinson novel, it’s full of action, amazing locals and lots and lots of thrills. It had my heart racing and I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend this book to all action/adventure/thrill lovers.
