Force No One by Daniel Ross
MWSA Review
Daniel Charles Ross kicks off a brand new techno-thriller series with Force No One, Book 1 in the Storm Cell series, and he does it in style.
A Muslim agent from the Department of Homeland Security is mysteriously murdered, and FBI Agent Amber “Corvette” Watson and her Detroit Homicide task force partner, Detective Sgt. Tracey Lexcellent (love that name) are on the case.
At the same time, a disgraced Special Forces operator offers his services to rescue a Chinese general’s daughter, in exchange for help in retrieving 100 million dollars that the ex-Ranger may or may not have stashed in the desert. And just in case that wasn’t enough excitement, someone is planning upon blowing up the opening game of the World Series where the Detroit Tigers finally have home-field advantage.
Yeah, there’s a lot going on.
Ross does a masterful job of building likable heroes who blend patriotism with humor and are generally just badass. Those characters operate inside a story filled with plenty of military hardware and other cool toys. Start to finish, it was a great read that comes to a thrilling finish.
Fans of Jeff Edwards, Tom Clancy, or Dale Brown will gravitate towards Ross’s work, and will find it thoroughly enjoyable.

Author's Synopsis
A homicide in Detroit usually doesn't raise many eyebrows, but a victim is found with a business card from a Department of Homeland Security enforcement cell no one's ever heard of. FBI Special Agent Amber "Corvette" Watson and Detroit Police homicide detective Sgt. Tracey Lexcellent catch the case.
With a disgraced U.S. Army Ranger who can forget nothing and a black-budget CIA team in tow, they must solve the murder before terrorists can parachute into open-air Comerica Park during the opening ceremonies of the World Series and kill thousands on live television.
People are going to die. Everyone hopes they are the bad guys.
