Mr. Cooper continues to amaze readers and keep them guessing until the final curtain. In A Life Worth Taking, the main character, Tom Greer, is a retired Navy Seal, Commercial airline pilot, and cold blooded assassin. In between flights, the good captain, manages to kill somebody with the help of a computer whiz. As the story continues, questions floating around in the mind of readers get answered...who, why, when and then a new puzzle developed with a new set of questions.

On a few occasions, Mr. Greer appears to have met his match and finds himself in an impossible situation and within seconds of meeting the Creator. The story lags a little in the beginning and once questions are answered, it's hold on tight as the ride doesn't stop until the end. In fact, the ending is one that I would have never guessed...and opens the door for the next installment and possible group action instead of a single "pair" trying to make it all right.

Highly recommended! Mr. Cooper, time to get busy and get the new adventure out to market. If this is not his best book, it's in the top five. ( )
