Disconnect: A Saint Squad Novel By Traci Hunter Abramson-Thriller Book Review

 Book Synopsis

Brent Miller is still trying to get past the nightmares of his last mission into Nicaragua when a new commander takes charge of his Navy SEAL team. Commander Gardner has just one objective: to further his career. And the so-called Saint Squad is in his way. When Gardner makes changes that threaten operational readiness, the squad is determined to fight back―until a familiar threat resurfaces, compelling the once formidable team to battle on two fronts against seemingly insurmountable odds.

When equipment fails inexplicably, Brent and the other members of the squad realize too late that terrorists wield a devastating power that will effectively cripple the nation. Forced to utilize their ingenuity and resources to circumvent their new commander, the team faces a chilling reality: even if they find a way to neutralize the threat, bringing everyone home safely may be their greatest challenge yet.

My Review

There are certain series that completely captivate me, the characters become like family, and you get so emotionally invested in everything that happens. For years, I've been a devoted fan of Traci Hunter Abramson's Saint Squad Series, which follows a Navy Seal Team. "Disconnect" is the 13th book in the series. To be clear, the emotional impact of this book won’t be as strong if you haven’t read the first twelve books. Yes, you can read it as a stand-alone, but the series is definitely worth reading.

Disconnect introduces suspenseful elements such as a new commander (who shall not be named), who disrupts the brotherhood experienced by The Saint Squad, causing tension and endangering their unit. I love to see the bond between these men who are like brothers and willing to sacrifice everything for each other, but it made me truly frustrated as I saw the team being threatened. I felt as helpless as the team and their wives.

"Disconnect" also ties together not only the Saint Squad series but also includes characters from the Guardian series. Jim Whitmore finally is inaugurated as the new President of the United States. The novel intertwines various characters' storylines, such as Amy, Brent, Seth, and Vannesa's career challenges and one couple's heartbreaking struggle with infertility. 

The book is packed with intense military scenes, gunfire, explosions, and some utterly shocking moments, especially at the end. The gripping suspense and unforeseen plot twists make it hard to put down. Even with the shocking twists (cliffhanger enters stage right), I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one coming in spring 2025. Traci Hunter Abramson once again delivers a story that will undoubtedly spark discussions for months to come.
