The End by James Patterson and Brendan DuBois is an action-packed military thriller and suspense novella. Owen Taylor and his team are on a covert mission. It’s Owen’s last mission before he retires to New Hampshire. Starting with bad weather, the mission is anything but smooth. He and four others are to parachute into Serbia to take care of an individual trying to start another major war.
While the story is descriptive, it doesn’t slow the pacing. Readers also get a good feeling for Owen’s character which is well-developed. The novella pulls on the readers’ emotions in this high-octane work with plenty of action and thrills as well as danger and sadness.
Overall, this story was entertaining and had a dynamic plot with an immense amount of conflict.
I purchased a copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. Publication date was January 3, 2017.

My 4.16 rounded to 4 stars review is coming soon.

Quick novel about an elite armed forces unit sent into Serbia to take out a kingpin. This is Owen's last mission, after which he plans to retire to New Hampshire. The mission is fraught with trouble. After the mission, Owen retires. However retirement isn't quiet. Owen needs to try to fit into the community, but he is having trouble. The ending is a fine way for him to come to peace with this situation and his neighbors.

A nice short story working with what it had in such a small book, ending brought it up to four stars easily.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I know it was only a book shot but I was hoping for more details about what happened in the bedroom.
