Description
"You know Ryan Steck as the Real Book Spy. Now, get to know him as the author of Fields of Fire, his debut thriller featuring Marine Raider Matthew Redd in a battle that will leave you speechless and begging for more. Lock and load!" --Jack Carr, Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Devil's HandWaiting 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.

A former Marine investigates the death of his adoptive father in Steck's strong debut. . . . The suave yet vulnerable lead and propulsive narrative will keep readers hooked. This is an auspicious start for Steck.--Publishers Weekly
There's a lot we've seen before in Ryan Steck's tumultuous thriller Fields of Fire, but all of it is done exceptionally well. Steck's debut actually gives us two bangs for the buck, hitting on a pair of classic thriller tropes in the same volume. First, we follow special ops Marine Matthew Redd dealing with the aftermath of a massacre he may or may not have perpetrated. That's due not to the fog of war, or combat, but the fact that Redd is suffering from amnesia and can't remember what happened. We're also treated to the angst-riddled Redd's return home to Montana to deal with a deadly threat to his hometown in a fashion that would make Lee Child's Jack Reacher proud. A veteran reviewer with one of the genre's most popular blogs, the Read Book Spy, Steck is understandably well-versed in the genre. But his command of battle scenes and the warrior mindset is exceptional. Fields of Fire reads like Nelson DeMille seamlessly blended with the likes of Brad Thor, Brad Taylor, or Jack Carr, and is not to be missed.--Providence Journal
