Publisher's summary

Waiting to be deployed on a critical mission, elite Marine Raider Matthew Redd stops to help a stranger and wakes up hours later to learn his team was wiped out in an ambush. Unable to remember anything, Redd can’t deny the possibility that he’s somehow responsible for the information leak that led to the massacre. He’s given a deal to avoid a charge of treason, but it means walking away from the Corps and the life he loved.

As he faces his loss, Matty gets a cryptic message from his adoptive father, J. B.: “Trouble’s come knocking. . . . Might need your help.” He points his truck home to rural Montana, only to discover that J. B. is dead and the explanation for his death is far from satisfying. Determined to dig up the truth, Redd uncovers a dark global conspiracy with his hometown at the center and no team at his back―except one he might find among past friends, old enemies, and new allies, if he can figure out who to trust.

Well done mix of bang bang shoot ups and a mystery

Well done performance. A predictable story and I did not mind. Had to laugh at times with the old school dialouge.

A little slow in the middle

Great story and hero. It seemed a little slow in the middle when Matt arrived in town.

An Impressive Debut Novel

Simply put, Ryan Steck’s Fields of Fire is an impressive debut novel. It harnesses the better elements of C.J. Box, Jack Reacher, Yellowstone, Longmire, and more into an engaging novel. Ryan is no stranger to thriller writing, having made a career for years as one of the most respected thriller reviewers. He deliberately builds the plot's tension, allowing the reader to meet Matthew Redd and other characters. We feel his anger and confusion as he tries to investigate what happened to him, his family, friends, and the Montana town where he was raised. The twists and turns sneak up on you and are not overshadowed by lengthy high-tech descriptions or forced action sequences.

I listened to the Audible of this book. The narrator was professional and easy to listen to. His accents and voices were natural and never forced. I look forward to the next book in the Matty Redd series.

Action packed mystery delivers

This book will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The characters feel real and developed. Rural Montana doesn't seem like the setting for much of anything but this story begs to differ.

If you enjoy action packed mystery look no further. Can't wait for the next book.

Thin

Very predictable characters and story - tho the writer gets credit for some good writing and a new plot twist addressing green crime. Good performance.

Not bad, just bland

I’ve was reading Rex Stout mysteries before I was a teenager, and it set the bar high for good writing and storytelling. This book misses the mark. The plot line was okay, but nothing special. The writing was just fair. The main character was annoying. When I finished, I knew there would be no more Steck novels on my reading list. My recommendation is to keep looking for better books.

Not the action, adventure book I thought it would be from the summary.

I like the premise but the pace of the story is slow. The romance triangle is ridiculous and I could not work up much sympathy for the protagonist. I quit reading about half way through.
