Sold Out (Nick Woods Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Stan R. Mitchell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,817 ratings

Author Stan R. Mitchell writes a tight sniper/CIA thriller in his blockbuster hit "Sold Out," which plunges readers into a deep, dark conspiracy and should delight those who love Jason Bourne, as well as fans of authors Stephen Hunter, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy.

"Sold Out" is an epic, fast-paced story that shows what happens when free speech slams into the messy realities of national security.

Blood flows early and often in this story that will keep you riveted until the very end.

Book Description:

Nick Woods used to be one of our country's greatest snipers. A Marine who completed a bloody, top-secret mission behind enemy lines years ago, he now just wants to live in peace with his wife.

But Nick is about to get caught in a grand conspiracy between a senior investigative reporter and a shadowy, CIA group.

After said reporter, Allen Green, breaks the details of Nick's story -- blowing the top off America's national security -- both Nick and Allen find themselves in the sights of a CIA hunter-killer group.

This CIA group breaks the law and kills at will, and they'll stop at nothing to take down Nick Woods and the reporter who published the earth-shattering story he'd been chasing for years.

“Sold Out” is the first book in the spectacular Nick Woods series, which spans four books and multiple continents.

The Nick Woods series has climbed to the top of the charts on Amazon -- and remained there -- for more than three years. It's also been picked up by Audible.com for a multi-book, audio deal.

Note: you can buy the first four books of this five-book series for $6.99 at this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0877D5XP7

About the Author

Stan R. Mitchell writes action-packed thrillers, which readers have compared to the works of Vince Flynn, Stephen Hunter, and Tom Clancy. Mitchell earned a journalism degree from the University of Tennessee and spent 10+ years doing relentless, deadline-required writing in the newspaper business. Prior to college and his days in the newspaper world learning how government works, Mitchell was a former USMC Sergeant, who earned a Combat Action Ribbon in '97 while serving in the infantry with Alpha Co., 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. (Operation Silver Wake.) Besides this mission into harm's way, his platoon also served as the Covering Force for the elite Marine Force Recon Unit that deployed with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Special Operations Capable (MEUSOC). In addition to working with Marine Force Recon perfecting Direct Action missions, his platoon had the privilege to operate with the Navy Seals, training at the art of fast roping and ship takedowns. Mitchell lives in Oak Ridge, Tenn., with his wife Danah, and in his free time, he enjoys writing action thrillers, practicing martial arts, and studying Eastern philosophy.

    When you conspire to eliminate any witnesses of your past acts, no matter how important to national security they may have been, Nick Woods had better not be on your list of targets! With the help of a former top flight journalist, Nick sets about turning the tables on his secret enemies, who just do not realise what a destructive force they have released upon themselves.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Highly Captivating Novel
    Reviewed in the United States on 27 November 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This story is extremely intriguing, full of exciting action, and reasonably well written. The plot is outlined in the Book Description but is inaccurate in places. The government agents aren't CIA, and their target isn't paranoid, just good. To add a little color to the plot description, if anything would piss you off about clandestine actions of the government, rogue or otherwise, this book is guaranteed to do that - the murder of Nick's wife and the defamation of the reporter Allen, for starters. As one who worked for the intelligence community, I think such actions would occur very rarely if at all. But a single one would be an unforgivable atrocity. Now on to the extraordinary characters Mitchell presents.

    The main character Nick, a world-class sniper from the South, is one bad-ass, vicious piece of work for a "good guy". You won't find anything like him - at least I haven't - in any of hundreds of books of this genre. It's well worth a read just to encounter this ruthless dude. And another main character, the mild-mannered reporter Allen, is also a piece of work, starting out as a New York liberal but one who gets where Nick's coming from. Together their opposite skills become highly synergistic, and both seek and find some very hot encounters with the far more vicious "bad guys".

    All of this is powerfully exciting, amounting to a really genuine page-turner, if you'll pardon that trite expression.

    I would only quibble about one unrealistic thing, besides the leader of the rogue operators being a Republican vs. a Democrat senator. Mitchell should have spent more time in Oak Ridge,Tennessee. That city, originating under government control (part of the Manhattan Project), has zero "rundown areas" or "seedy hotels" and "rough joints", not one of them in town. If Mitchell thought he needed such a place in the plot (and he really didn't), perhaps the nearby town of Clinton would have done. (P.S., I'm not from Oak Ridge or even from the South.)

    And, for completeness, there is one minor gaffe in the plot. Near the end, Nick and Allen HAD to know that the cabin near Gatlinburg was a trap. Whitaker and Hanks boss was sure to have their pictures and full knowledge of what transpired before.

    Finally, the ending might not satisfy some idealists but is eminently practical and realistic.
