Description
Collette Codi Sanders just started her dream job. A job she never dreamed of doing. After failing BUDs training, with a little help from the guys, Codi left the military entering a downward spiral of civilian life.
Out of the ashes she managed to land a job working for the GSA (General Services Administration) ; as a paper pushing Federal Agent. But when a seemingly dead-end tax case blows up, Codi finds herself kidnapped and fighting for her life. With the clock ticking down, she and her team have to free themselves from certain death, solve a case no one knows exists and navigate major international implications to stop a madman from unleashing an international disaster.
Sheer will and pure stubbornness combine thrusting her through the impossible to a final clash where there is no prize for 2nd place - Only death.
Advance Praise
I LOVED TERMINAL PULSE. The introduction of Codi Sanders has brought a new super hero to us – just when we need a strong intelligent female character that isn’t afraid to kick some butt. I picked it up to just read a passage as was in the middle of another book (a NY Times best seller by the way & I don’t like to overlap_ – but I was unable to put this down!
The character of Codi Sanders works for the GSA – really boring, right? No way – she gets involved in a terrorist investigation and with an interesting ensemble of characters, pretty much has to try and save the world. I was also hooked by the other characters, and the plot moves fast - gripping and scary at the same time. You believe in these characters and are rooting for them in all the bad situations. Hope there is a plan for their return in this anticipated series. Maybe even with a little romance????
The fast paced action was not over the top but kept me engrossed as I could imagine this really happening. I could picture the locations and scenarios in a great movie. HEY HOLLYWOOD – pay attention – this really should be a movie.
Other action writers are going to have to step up their game to compete with the new sheriff in town – Brent Ladd!

Terminal Pulse is a tense, fast read with interesting protagonists and a complex storyline that keeps you wondering. I am hoping Codi Sanders is a recurring character. I would enjoy more of her.
This tale covers a lot of ground - Arizona, Washington DC, France, Italy, England. I loved the way the little 8 x 40 foot houseboats that we see often slowly traveling the canals on British police procedurals on Prime and Netflix wind up playing a major role in this adventure. Brent Ladd is an author I will watch for.
I received a free electronic copy of this novel on December 22, 2018 from Netgalley, Brent Ladd, and Archway Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me.

This is a light action thriller which should not be taken too seriously.
Action packed with a story line flying along at 100mph.
Ideal for a easy holiday read.

"Terminal Pulse" eBook was published in 2018 and was written by Brent Ladd (https://brentladdbooks.com). This was his first novel.
I categorize this novel as ‘R’ because it contains scenes of Violence and Mature Situations. The main character is Collette "Codi" Sanders.
Sanders has recently come close but failed to qualify for elite military duty. Now she is out of the military and has taken a boring, paper-pushing job for the GSA (General Services Administration).
Suddenly her administrative job has thrust her into the middle of a critical and dangerous situation.
I found the 5.5 hours I spent reading this 274-page thriller interesting. The basic plot was not bad, but the depth of the writing and characters was lacking. The author will likely get better with future novels. I do not like the selected cover art. I give this novel a 3.8 (rounded up to a 4) out of 5.
