📚💪🏼 Books and Biceps Review: Fields of Fire by Ryan Steck 💪🏼📚 Hello beautiful friends of HDD. Hope you’re all having a great summer. I had been in a reading rut after finishing Empire of the Damned. (I blame Jay Kristoff for that… if he wasn’t such a talented writer. Anyways, I digress.) After finishing EoTD, I picked up one of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books that I had started years ago but had not finished. I slugged through the book (it’s never easy to pick up 3/4s of the way through and still be excited about a book, but we were watching the second season of Reacher on Prime so I trodded along). Once done, I was looking for suggestions on a new series. Mindlessly scrolling X before bed one night, I came across a recommendation from one of the accounts I follow, thus I looked into the Matthew Redd series by Ryan Steck. I am so glad I did. As you may know from some of my other reviews, I am a huge fan of the James Reece, Mitch Rapp, and Scot Harvath series, so I was looking for something similar in nature.  Fields of Fire, the first Matthew Redd book, is an action packed, high octane masterpiece worthy of mention among the list above. When I told my wife I found a series which was also on sale on Amazon, I figured I’d have reading material for weeks. I was wrong, and pleasantly surprised. I finished Fields of Fire within days and have already finished Lethal Range, the second book in the series. Fortunately the third book released in June so I had reading material as we were in the hospital (we both did some reading while we were waiting for the induction to do its thing) and now, as we transition the new normal with our bundle of joy. bookstagram booksandbiceps bookrecommendations bookreview bookthoughts actionbooks thrillerbooks menwhoread
