Hard Target by J. B. Turner is about a threat inside the government. A whistleblower’s life is on the line. It’s up to Jon Reznick to save his life. A woman is about to be killed in order to stop her testimony, but that won’t stop her from testifying.

I enjoyed reading about government corruption. This story kept you on the edge. First book I have read by
J. B. Turner. I recommend this book.
Thank you Net Galley for sending an advanced. Reader’s copy for review.

I have enjoyed reading the Jon Reznic series. If you enjoy detective books, you'll enjoy this series and this book. This one I found to be fast moving and it held my attention. While I had it figured out before the end of the book, it had me guessing for the majority of the read. My thanks to the author and publisher.

Good book. I am interested in knowing the back story and will probably read some of the other books. It's scary how technology can see and knows so much of our lives.
Hey yo i recieved an ARC from netgalley for my honest review.

This was a well written thriller. The plot was well laid out and the characters really pull you into the plot. The action starts out at a moderate speed, but really builds at the end - as most good thrillers do.

Jon Reznick's character is everything a hero should be. Conflicted and questioning his actions and if he does everything that he can to protect and help the woman in trouble.

This is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone. It is the first that I have read in the series, and I will be going back and reading them all.

Hard Target was intriguing to say the least. It was about Military espionage and how the top brass was involved in government secrets a d money that was made from them. Seven people were killed by assassins. Groups of assassins from all over TBE world was hired to keep people in check. An independent agent working for FBI working with two hackers tried to keep a women who found all the crimes that was committed out. She was about to testify and almost mace it. The author did a great job of writing this story. I received this book free from NetGalley!

Some years ago, J.B. Turner became one of my favorite authors, knowing very well how to write a page-turning thriller, and this, his eighth volume in the series about Jon Reznick, is no exception.
This time, Reznick receives a distressed call from his hacker friend from Miami who previously has helped him on several occasions in the past. Suddenly, Reznick finds himself on the run with the hacker and a government whistleblower who was about to testify before Congress about large-scale corruption high up in the Pentagon.

Having read the other books in the series, this story feels more predictable than in the past books. Similarly so with the routine inside the FBI where only one person seems to trusts Reznick. While other characters are being added to the story flow, those most threatened by what is about to happen seem stubbornly insistent on wanting to do their own thing, and not take advice from someone who clearly more dialed in than they are. Sometimes, I feel myself wishing for them to be put out of their stupid misery.
While I was still entertained by this book, it just barely makes the fourth star in the rating.
Newcomers to the series should not start with this book, particularly because the earlier volumes in the series are even better.

This is book 8 in the Jon Reznick thriller series, another book to have you on the edge of your seat with anticipation! I really love it when an author can captivate the reader in such a way that it is just impossible to put the book down. Trevelle Williams is a hacker (which I always love to read about) who has discovered quite the secret documents. He calls upon his detective friend to help him uncover some secrets and save the life of a key congressional witness in the process. Filled with suspense and twists and turns, this book is perfect for a thriller fan!

Netgalley gave me a free copy of this book for my review. This is my first book by J.B. Turner. I love a good ‘who done it’ mystery, and this one was good. The story moved swiftly along, yet I easily kept up, and I didn’t see the end coming. I also enjoyed all the high tech references and use of cutting edge technology.

This book is the 8th in a series with the main character, Jon Reznick. I enjoyed it so much I do believe I’ll have to read the whole series now!

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. This is my first in the Jon Reznick series. I enjoyed the story—fast moving political thriller, which I read a lot of. Reznick gets pulled into helping to protect a government worker who is trying to be a whistleblower. The story moves quickly but is fairly predictable. I enjoyed the book overall and would be willing to check out the others in the series but this didn’t make me want to rush out and get the others right away.

Hard Target by J. B. Turner

Fast paced and exciting. I was drawn in immediately and couldn't put it down until I finished the book.

hank you to Net Galley, the publishers and the author.

OMG...... One of the most exciting books I have read.... Ever...

Read This Book... You will thank me later.... And I hope you do !!

A threat inside the government. A whistleblower’s life on the line. It’s up to Jon Reznick to bring justice. When hacker Trevelle Williams discovers documents that threaten national security and put his life in jeopardy, there’s only one person he can turn to—Jon Reznick. Williams has learned that Rosalind Dyer, a key congressional witness, is about to be killed in order to stop her testimony. She has stumbled into the middle of a cover-up that goes deep into the United States government. Dyer knows her days are numbered, but that won’t stop her from doing what she has to do. Trevelle Williams has helped Jon out of many a scrape in the past. Now, Jon is the only person he can turn to for help saving Rosalind’s life, as well as his own, and protecting national security in the process. With enemies on all sides, including within the United States government, can Jon and Trevelle get to Rosalind in time? They’re her only hope to escape her pursuers and bring these secrets to light.

Jon Reznick again proving he is a man who sticks to his high standards of good and bad, hurt his friends, he will fight to what he believes is right, and here is a tough battle ahead.

It's great to have a stronger and powerful role for Trevelle who finally gets his time! Trevelle is a hacker that has been helping Jon Reznick for years, sadly this time around he is the one caught up and with trouble at his door he turns to the one person who he knows will help him.

Reznick and Trevelle meet up and Reznick learns that a woman named Rosalind Dyer is on a hit list and also that the FBI is looking for her for removing security paperwork. She is a whistle blower who is scheduled to testify before a closed door hearing in Congress very soon about embezzlement in Pentagon funds occurring at the highest levels and also about the deaths of seven men who had learned the same facts she did. Reznick and Trevelle locate Dyer and convince her to come with them for her own protection.

Reznick up against one of his most powerful enemies, this is a tough fight, are the FBI backing him or against him, who is chasing him and Rosalind and Trevelle, and Fifi.

Honestly this was read in two days, would have been one day if I had the time, one of the fastest pace books I have read, one of the most gripping books I have read, great action, this series of books are utterly brilliant.

Action authors, read this book... This is a perfect thriller, full of action, shocks and surprises

Clear five stars

I hadn't read a JB Turner book before but really enjoyed his fast pace writing style.

Even though this is the eighth book in the series, I didn't feel like i missed anything by having not read the first seven.

I really enjoyed some of the characters in this book and thought the story was laid out well.

My big pet peeve with this book is that I couldn't see the FBI saying many of the things they said in the book or doing some of those actions.

Thank you to netgalley for giving me this book for my honest opinion.

Free ARC from Net Galley

I have not read any of the others in this series but as I read I found just standard fare, nothing new or really gripping. It is well written and it flows but there is no "Man I want to read on portions". Hey just me

Hard Target by J.B Turner is a fast paced political thriller -the book is about deep routed corruption within the US Government. Trevelle Williams a hacker comes across documents that not only shed light on this corruption but a threat against not only his life but that of a key witness. Follow Jon Reznick and Trevelle Willams on his battle to save not only the key witness but to bring the secrets to life.

I love a good thriller so add in a good hacker, some deep routed secrets AND corruption and you have a winner. This book was fast paced and showed you how far people are willing to go to keep their secrets. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the style of writing that was done by J.B Turner. Being the first book of his I read I was pleasantly surprised.

I definitely loved the characters as well with me wanting to find out more about them. as well.

Joe Resnick is one of many "one man army" type heroes that fights through the various plots that J. B. Turner drops him into. He has flaws, he has character depth and now a quasi-sidekick in his daughter.

It could get corny and by the numbers, but it never does, as Turner weaves a well crafted story around the characters.

I love the Resnick books and would happily recommend them to any reader out there who likes the ex-forces hero type books.

I was new to J.B. Turner and Jon Reznick so I decided to go back and read Book #1 first. I am so glad I did. Actually both read on Kindle and listened via Audible, so I was able to get in the groove of how Jon Reznick speaks via great narration. Loved the first book and this current release Book #8. Fast paced page turners with interesting characters and good plot lines. I cannot wait to go back and read Book #2 through #7 to catch up with more of Jon Reznick's escapades.

Full disclosure, I was provided an ARC to review. This is my first time reading Turner, and I think I would like to reserve full judgement until after reading another of his titles. Hard Target was an interesting enough premise, but the story felt terribly contrived and overdramatic in places. Maybe I'm jaded, maybe I'm spoiled on Steve Berry and Tom Clancy. They set the bar high for the genre. Nonetheless, for those who like geopolitical thrillers, Hard Target may be an option, and it is a fast read. I plan on picking up another of the Reznick series to properly try him out.

This is an outstanding thriller that keeps the reader tense through the entire story. Jon Reznick helps a young hacker who has been targeted because of his access to a hacked top secret memo calling for the assassination of an American citizen working as an auditor for the Department of Defense. The story takes you through the process whereby Jon troies to safeguard the woman. Although this is a later book in this series, it is as fresh as a new start. The characters are ralistic and believable. The style of writing allows for easy reading, but keeps the tension up.I was very pleased to get a copy of this book from Netgalley, as I have read other books in thgis series. Jon Reznick is the sort of person that many people want to be. He works earnestly to do what is right. I will look forward to more of his adventures

First, thanks to NetGalley for the advance read of Hard Target. I had no experience with J.B. Turner or his books and did not realize this was the 8th in a series featuring Jon Resnick. I found this book un-put-downable. A political thriller that, in days of yore, may have seemed more far-fetched but, today, makes you think. Corruption at the highest level of government, whistleblowers who risk their lives to tell the truth, and those dedicated to getting the truth told at any cost are all at the heart of Hard Target. Fast-paced and realistic, I look forward to going back and filling in Joe Resnick’s story.

I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I wanted to like this. I thought I was going to like this. Based on the summary, I thought this was going to be a story about political intrigue and government corruption, yes, but I also thought the hacker (Trevelle Williams) would feature more heavily than he did. I thought this would be a more high-tech, cyber-based action novel.

I could not have been more wrong. On all counts.

It was like a bad action movie. You know the type: the action movies that are so bad, they're funny. Except this wasn't even funny. The dialogue was incredibly unrealistic. It often made me cringe because people just do not talk like that in real life. And it was so circular. Reznick kept rehashing the same conversations with the same characters. It became redundant and didn't further the story.

There was plenty of action but it was empty action. Any dramatic tension that was built up dissipated almost immediately after. Things were too easy. There was no mystery except what would happen to Rosalind. And the ending could have been great but it was a total waste because it wasn't earned. An ending like that needs time, tension, and finesse. It only pays off after carefully building and stoking that fire. Because none of that happened, the ending was a massive disappointment. I skimmed the last bit of it because the aftermath wasn't important at that point.

This one is a hard pass for me.
