Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe, #5) by Mark Nolan

Oct 22, 2020 Nadene (Totally Addicted to Reading) rated it really liked it

I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into the latest installment of the Jake Wolfe series. At the beginning of the story Jake is on a fishing trip, taking a much-needed break. However, the criminals didn’t get the memo and once again Jake’s R&R will end before it even started. This latest mission would prove to be the deadliest of all as he faces down a group, called The Society, intent on world domination. To achieve their goal, they aim to weaponize the 1918 influenza virus, after which they plan ...more

4.5 stars--DEADLY WEAPON is the fifth instalment in Mark Nolan’s contemporary, adult JAKE WOLFE military, suspense thrillers focusing on former combat Marine, Above Top Secret clandestine Black Ops specialist and attorney Jake Wolfe, and Marine IED detector dog Cody. DEADLY WEAPON can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from third person perspective DEADLY WEAPON follows Jake Wolfe as he is task 4.5 stars--DEADLY WEAPON is the fifth instalment in Mark Nolan’s contemporary, adult JAKE WOLFE military, suspense thrillers focusing on former combat Marine, Above Top Secret clandestine Black Ops specialist and attorney Jake Wolfe, and Marine IED detector dog Cody. DEADLY WEAPON can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from third person perspective DEADLY WEAPON follows Jake Wolfe as he is tasked with stopping a mad man from releasing a biological weapon that could destroy the planet’s population. Jake Wolfe is a peripheral member of a covert group within the Secret Service known as the POETs, and a such our hero finds himself part of a counter-terrorism team to prevent rogue operatives from working directly with a group known as The Society, an international network of billionaires who believe themselves the elite of humanity, hoping to rid the world of human vermin. Always one step behind or in the direct line of fire, Jake, his Military War dog Cody, and their cohorts must prevent the creation and release of a bio-weapon with the ability to destroy all of mankind while trying to keep themselves out of harm’s way.

Using the backdrop of the 1918 pandemic and Chronic Wasting Disease among other horrific viral possibilities DEADLY WEAPON does little to disguise the similarities and conspiracies surrounding the current pandemic of 2020 even referencing the deadliest pandemic in history, and its’ connection to what is now known as Wuhan China. The action-packed story line is rife with military weaponry and tactics, covert but not infallible operations and specialists, and the heart pounding suspense of what if and how.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in previous instalments including Jake’s handlers with the US government Secret Service Agent Shannon McKay; Jake’s love interest, Veterinarian Sarah Chance; Lieutenant Terrell Hayes; Secret Service agents Yvonne Greene and Easton; former Marine Tuktu aka Caribou, as well as Cody the wonder dog; Black Hawk helicopter pilot Ron Thomsen; microbiologist Joselyn Palmer, and Dr. Klein. The requisite evil has many faces.

DEADLY WEAPON is a fast paced, exciting, thriller with danger, death, and drama. Mark Nolan pulls the reader in to a pulse-pounding adventure of the hypothetical but very real possibility of the destruction of man-kind.

I am not exaggerating when I say that words cannot describe how excited I was to read another Jake Wolfe book. I am not even sure who I like more – Jake or Cody. They make the most intoxicating team of hotness and stealth and mystery and intelligence and just… I think they could be my dream duo!

But alas, the Jake Wolfe series is only a tiny bit romantic. It is mainly suspense and action and thrill and edge of your seat, nail biting, page turning, HAVE TO HAVE!

‘Deadly Weapon’ is the new book from Mark Nolan and is the fifth book in the Jake Wolfe series. If you love action-packed suspense novels, then this is a book for you.

Jake Wolfe is enjoying some much needed downtime in Alaska, Salmon fishing with his friend Tuktu, and his trusty sidekick Cody the Golden Retriever Support dog. But if Jake thought he’d be allowed to enjoy some peace, he is sorely mistaken, for it isn’t long before a Helicopter and a message from Washington D.C interrupts, cutting ...more

And as usual, Jake follows orders without question. This will not be an easy job, but that has never stopped him before. Jake will have to use every skill he knows, and it will be extra hard on Cody this time. But like Jake, Cody has never backed down either.

Jake and Cody are fighting to save the world from a new deadly weapon that could wipe out everyone!!!!

It is time to relax a little, Jake and Cody are doing some Alaskan fishing. This is something the Jake and Cody do every year. His friend Tuktu, a fellow combat veteran, now has a fishing guide business. After pulling out a salmon, Jake removed the hook and released the large fish back into the river. Cody tilted his head up, hearing something in the sky. Shortly after that a sleek helicopter comes into view, and it is tearing up the sky, it is certainly coming fast. Jake knows that something is surely wrong. Jake removed his waders and checked his sat phone, sure enough, he had missed some calls. Guess I had better take McKay’s call, she must have something for Cody and me to take care of. Answering the next call, the familiar face lit up the video, “Is that your helo?” She nods and tells him that they have an emergency. Well, this was a short fishing trip, maybe next time. The next words out of her mouth were “Can I count on you?” Jake assured her that she could.

Cody and Jake say goodbye to Tuktu, telling him maybe next year will be better. Anytime old friend! Loading up on the helicopter, they find Ron was with Tuktu in Somalia, one of the best pilots around. Ron lifted off and took off faster than Jake had ever seen a civilian helo go. Nothing was said but Ron was wondering about his passengers. All he knew is that both were Marine combat veterans, and they were top-notch government “off the books” assets. As they flew all three are tense ready for the action ahead of them...

And the story begins…

What did I like? I have read the previous four books in this series and I have a ton of respect for the characters. Mark was also my guest featured author for November 2019. I enjoyed visiting with Mark and learned so much about his method of writing and how his series came about. His books are a work of art. His research is impeccable, and many of the weapons that he writes about are real. The background on Jake and Cody is so awesome. Jake is a Marine in honor of Mark’s son. He served in the 0311 infantry Marines and worked with an incredibly special Military War dog (MWD). His characters are never based on real people but imaginary characters that share lots of similarities to all Marines. My research when I was working on Mark’s interview was so interesting. The war dogs, the marines, the weapons, and the general information about the government assets kept me up late into the night reading all about them.

What will you like? As with the previous 4 books, the action is kick-ass and does not let up throughout the book. The characters are beyond amazing. His girlfriend, Sarah has come a long way in their relationship, which is enjoyable. Jake is such a handsome and loveable guy, he needs someone to take care of that side of his life, and it looks like he has finally found the right girl. The relationship between Jake and Cody is just nothing more than incredible. I had a friend on the Police force that worked and lived with her dog, so I understand a little about the connection between Jake and Cody. Trust, love, and respect are the key factors between them. This storyline is astonishing, especially with what we all are living through right now. It makes you wonder if this virus was an accident or something that happen on purpose???? Mark has done another tremendous job in bringing the boys to life once again for us. By the way, there is going to be a book six, “Key West Dead”! I sure do not want to miss that one! An excellent read that will certainly keep you up late at night.

I just can’t get enough of this series- and I don’t think I will ever tire of following Jake and Cody on one of their exciting ‘adventures’- so I hope Mark Nolan has got a well-spring of storyline ideas firing up his imagination, to ensure we keep getting new instalments of Jake Wolfe for many years to come.

No pressure, Mr. Nolan.
As this story’s title suggests, Jake and Cody are thrust in a race against time to prevent a deadly weapon of mass destruction from being deployed. They will need to use all their skills, as well as work with others, in order to save billions of lives. So as you can imagine, this proved to be quite a thrilling and action-packed read- with drama, danger, adventure, mystery, edge-of-your-seat tension, twists & turns, assassins, a power hungry madman, hidden agendas, secret organisations, violence, murder, gun fights, explosions, and so much more.
I was pulled in right from the beginning, reading the entire book in one sitting- just so I could find out how everything plays out in the end. As with the previous books, this story is told from multiple POV’s- giving me a fuller perspective of what was happening. This allowed me to have a much richer reading experience, because I had so much more information to work with.
Again, as with all the books in this series, the characters are truly fantastic- they are so well developed, crafted into fully-realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. As expected, I especially love how incredibly detailed and developed Cody’s personality is, too- it’s this attention to detail that really sets this book/series apart from others in the same genre!
The story can definitely be read as a standalone- but as there are recurring characters, as well as important details which have helped to forge the characters, as well as containing backstory details- which really help to build a bigger picture and knowing what has happened previously, and how much Jake and Cody have been through together- would give you a far richer reading experience of this story.
I could go on and on about every little detail of this fantastic book- but instead I will sign off here so you can grab yourself a copy and dive in asap- highly recommended!
I can’t wait to see what Jake and Cody get up to next in “Key West Dead” (Book Six)!

Thank you, Mark Nolan for another riveting read!

Mr. Nolan, I was truly saddened to read your afterward and offer my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved brother, Marty. He would be so touched that you continue to write in his memory ❣

In this series entry, Jake’s Alaskan holiday is interrupted by a call to action not wholly successful…it will continue back home in the Bay Area. “He felt the need for some vitamin sea.”
Anyway, it’s a nasty consortium of people bent on eliminating certain populations around the globe. The mission will be undertaken in fits and starts as they gain intel. Jake is a combat veteran, with an “above top secret” classification that has pulled him back before. Highly trained, athletic, weapons ready, and deadly, he takes Cody, war dog, along.

So much intelligence here, both in weapons, locations, and personnel, it’s scary—the narrative barrels through heart-stopping encounters (okay—some over-the-top action even) that has you groaning at the odds and cheering at the accomplishments. Page-turning, non-stop conflict that includes his best buddy Terrell Hayes (Grinds), SFPD Homicide Detective. This plot is just a little close to current global events and difficult to put down.

The author’s writing style has evolved, relaxed a bit in Book 5, letting that ole testosterone fly, and having Jake speaking more brazenly—irreverent—and I blinked several times, but even so, the well-plotted novel is descriptive, immersive, and prose laden. There is the thread of a romance between Jake and Sarah, Cody’s veterinarian, but he weaves that thread lightly through the outline to the adrenaline pumping conclusion that has you craving Book 6.

Yes, it’s a series, but this can work as a standalone. Enjoy the well-plotted and paced narrative as well as those wonderfully strong studly characters (man and dog). This one is for you and it’s out now.

FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary review copy of this book from the author. These are my honest thoughts.
