The Belgrade Conspiracy

David Rivers is a genuine star of the action thriller genre. With his team at his side he navigates situations with a determination only a writer with Kasper’s background could imagine/create. In this novel he’s up against the most insidious of opponents who seems to get the upper hand… for a time.

The Belgrade Conspiracy by Jason Kasper will definitely appeal to the readers who love to read tautly composed action thrillers. When you comes across a sentence about someone shooting another, and if it makes you enquire about the make of the gun, it's range and the caliber of the bullet, this book is for you.

Jason Kasper brings the heat in The Belgrade Conspiracy, sending hot lead downrange in pulse-pounding action sequences and mixing it up with a game-changer for the series.


When David Rivers and his team of hardened killers target a man behind the transfer of high-level military hardware to an international terrorist syndicate, they presume the mission to be one of the most straight-forward encounters. However, double crosses and ambushes set by a dangerous adversary throw the team in disarray with more than one element of the team thrust in mortal danger like never before. Running and gunning across Serbia, the team must fight their way to survival and accomplish a mission with chances of success plummeting by the chapter. But if there’s any hope, it’s with Rivers and his team.

Kasper doesn’t pull punches in this one, shaking things up with some truly shocking moments. While we’ve read David Rivers and the Shadow Strike team take on some truly catastrophic odds, it’s in The Belgrade Conspiracy that the threat hits much closer to home than in the previous few books. The action feels more frantic and lethal, the consequences more personal, and the adversary more evil than before. The combat sequences are top-notch with an emphasis on tactical and technical authenticity that brings each gunshot to life in 4K resolution. You can’t ask for better combat sequences.

The Belgrade Conspiracy is my favorite pick of the Shadow Strike series so far as Kasper kicks up the action, humor, intensity, and camaraderie to a higher gear and keeps the series fresh and engaging by directing emotional engagement of readers to a promising pay off in the future.

David Rivers and his team of CIA operatives are sent to Serbia to stop a shipment of high-level arms from reaching the hands of US enemies. They are out to infiltrate a notorious and sadistic arms dealer's gang who has escaped their clutches in the past.
My first DR story and it was a great one: absolutely riveting from page one with nonstop suspense, intrigue and
action that you can barely keep up with - that's how fast paced and totally captivating this story is.
This is a definite must read for those who like black ops, undercover operatives and all the like genres.
Now, for the next adventure.

Jason Kasper continues the captivating Shadow Strike series with The Belgrade Conspiracy, an explosive and twisting thriller with treachery and death around every corner.

David Rogers and his CIA Project Longwing team of ground branch operators are still on the hunt for terrorist mastermind Erik Weisz. They have uncovered the identity of the man selling high-level military weapons to the terror syndicate and set up a clandestine operation to take him out while he's on a brief stop in Serbia. But nothing ever goes to plan for David's team and suddenly they are being hunted by multiple factions. But first they have recovered a potential treasure trove of Intel that could be a game changer...if they can now only escape with their lives.

The Belgrade Conspiracy is a compelling blend of espionage and direct military action with every single character in the crosshairs. And as usual, David Rivers takes insane risks in the name of seizing and exploiting every opportunity he's presented to him. But that puts his team in incredibly dangerous situations with casualties a foregone conclusion. But this team of operators are at their best when improvising and fighting their way out of impossible odds. And this time they are tested like never before. Leading to slinging lead and explosives downrange at an incredibly high rate while a bevy of bad guys seek to send them to the afterlife. All of which result in killer action sequences, propulsive pacing, uncertain outcomes and a bunch of dudes bleeding out in the snow. What more could one want?

Jason Kasper continues to publish some of the most action-packed novels in the genre and this one is high up the list. If you're not reading his stuff, now's a perfect time to jump on board.

This is my first David Rivers book, and my first book by the author. I loved the pacing on this, the constant feeling of danger. This was a winner from the first page to the last. It's not often that I sit down to read a book and don't get up until it's over. 😂 Well-written, high stakes, fast paced. Love this!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced digital reader's copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review!

As always a nail biter but this one has a shock I didn't see coming at all. Was hoping it wasn't real. Read this one when you have some time because you will not want to put it down once you start.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

David Rivers and his Shadow Strike group have scores of undercover ops under their collective belts. The CIA has identified a Russian backed arms dealer that needs to be taken out. However, the only way to take him out is to get close to him. The team gets inside of the dark side of the black market arms web in Serbia and uncover things they did not want to know about.
They’ve gotten involved in a game that doesn’t allow for any mistakes for the loser the cost is death.
Every twist and turn brings new danger and opportunities for failure.
A must read.

Overall. I enjoyed the story and particularly because it took place in Serbia. A land I am unfamiliar with but found intriguing. I liked the use of the mafia and had to look up names of criminal organizations to familiarize myself with the subject matter. Crazy firefights with experienced operators is always fun to read. Some of it is over the top but having never served in a the military, let alone a special group of soldiers I can only guess that’s it’s partly true/part made up. Not to ever say incidents like this never happen. I did expect one or more team members to lose their lives but they did not. Overall. I give the book a 7 out of 10
