Once again Logan West has to leave his home to fight evil. His little group of warriors is suffering from injuries from their latest clash with the enemy. This time they go to Venezuela to find the vice president of the USA who is allegedly kidnapped.... This is one of those books that you read from cover to cover with small interuptions like food and drink.

The entire Logan West series is a must read for military thriller genre fans, but Rules of War is on another level. Feel like Matthew Betley shows more depth and range in this one, highlighting his evolution as a writer. The book has his trademark balls-to-the-wall action at a ludicrously fast pace. But it also has wonderful development for both returning and new characters. Additionally, this book has heart, turning Logan into more than just a ruthless operator. well written with a great story line, this is a book that shouldn't be missed. Kudos to Matthew Betley for another winner! Looking forward to seeing what's next for Logan West and crew!

Matthew Betley keeps topping himself! RULES OF WAR is another guns-blazing battle for the entire novel. I did find that Betley took this book to a more emotional level. I found that he did this in the previous books in this series, but this one, he really stepped up his game in that manner. When I read book #3 in the series, FIELD OF VALOR, literally the first words of the story were gunfire. It was pedal to the metal the entire time without ever letting up. In RULES OF WAR, I found Betley drifting and blurring the lines that separated the non-stop action and the intense, raw emotion that he portrays.
Betley has been a powerhouse of an author from book 1, OVERWATCH, and he hasn’t let up. These books are fast-paced, loaded with gunfire, and at points, hilarious, but he has reached a new level with RULES OF WAR. It is my favorite of the series, and I can’t recommend it enough. The way he infused the emotion and action all together made for one of the best novels of the year.

Nobody writes an action sequence like Matthew Bettley. Rules of War is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of great action scenes from beginning to end. I think the only thing that holds the Logan West series from being as big as others in the genre is the dialogue could be better, and the main character, Logan West, is less interesting than supporting characters like John Quick and Amira Cerrone. This series is also more serial in nature than others in the genre to the point where this book may not make as much sense to you if you haven't read the others first. But as someone who has done so I really enjoy that aspect, and this was a fitting end to the series. I didn't factor it into my overall rating because I felt it was only fair to rate the book based on the content, but I do not like the narrator for this book (and series) at all. I think he has a strange inflection and style that can make dialogue that may be good on the page come off as flippant that doesn't match the tone of the scene. It's not a coincidence that my favorite book in the series was the one I read as a physical copy.
