Pam G. reviews Jeff Bailey's NOT ON MY WATCH

NOT ON MY WATCH by Jeff Bailey is the first book that I have read by this author. It is a military thriller that takes place in Oklahoma. Lance Corporal Cassandra Sing witnesses an event at the base’s north gate. With no way to communicate with others, she has to use her Marine training to attempt to prevent further damage.

Cassie was a compelling character and definitely someone that you could root for. The book started out with an intense situation and that suspense did not let up during most of the book. The reader gets some of Cassie’s backstory through a few flashbacks in time. Her goals were clear and her motivations seemed believable and well-drawn. There were no secondary characters with significant depth, but there was enough information on the antagonists to keep me engaged. The plot twists seemed believable and the stakes were high enough to make this a fast-paced page turner for me.

Overall, this was a dramatic, intense and absorbing novel that seemed feasible and all too real. If you enjoy military thrillers, then this [NOT ON MY WATCH] may be the next book for you.

Deer Hawk Publications released my first book, The Defect, in June of 2016. The Defect is a fictitious account of a terrorist infiltration of a nuclear power plant in Southern California. It was so easy. It all went so wrong.  Who or what saved Southern California from widespread radioactive contamination? The story is based on true events surrounding the meltdown and destruction of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station (NPS) in Pennsylvania. He also based certain elements on the lone gunman attack on Watts Barr NPS in Tennessee. Read the first chapter of The Defect.

Not on My Watch is my second book. When terrorists steal two nuclear weapons, they don’t count on a witness - a lone female U.S. Marine firefighter witness. Alone, unarmed, and out of touch with her chain of command, she is determined to stop them.  She soon becomes entangled in a terrorist conspiracy and must find a way to stop it. Not on My Watch is scheduled for release in 2018. Buy now from Amazon.
