Fabulous plot which I could not put down. Brilliant characters, and twists and turns. Highly recommend to other fans of this genre!!

Another great storyline, the action is there as is what you’d expect from the main characters if you’ve read other Jericho Quinn series books. The ending fell a little flat on this one but it was good nonetheless. Is this last in this series? I hope not because I enjoy the characters.

4 Stars

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars on this one, but because this is the first Jericho Quinn novel I’ve read and I’m jumping into the middle of the series I decided to round up to 4. I think more familiarity with the characters would have made the book more enjoyable and there was still plenty here to send me to the beginning of the series to catch up.

So a Cuban defector lands on a beach in south Florida and is almost immediately killed by Cuban security operatives before he can do more than claim to have information vital to the United States. It turns out the information he has relates to the existence of an aging Soviet nuclear missile in the hands of a rogue military officer in Cuba, a missile this officer intends to launch on Miami. Enter Jericho Quinn and his team, who travel to Cuba and foil his plot in the midst of a hurricane. There’s plenty of action and the characters are all likeable in spite of my lack of knowledge regarding their back stories. Bring on book 1!

Another ARC from NET GALLEY!!!!

Usually in the eight round of a fight the match is decided but here with the adventures of Jericho the writing is still crisp, the twists don't follow the norm and the action is unstoppable. Read one and get hooked! Enjoy!!

I have always loved this series. Something about Jericho and his relationship with Jacques has always just made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Here you have these amazingly badass men who are the best of friends, yet they are constantly giving each other a hard time. It's hilarious and very genuine.

Now, I've read every book in this series; novellas as well - I've never been disappointed. That is why this review is a bit difficult. Did I hate this book? No, not even a little. Was it the best of the series? Not even close...

What we have here is a textbook Quinn situation. Somehow that man is able to find trouble without even looking. We also have most of the gang - Jacques, Miyagi, Ronnie and Palmer (he's kind of there by proxy). What I had a problem with was the believabilty of the actual events. Sometimes things work out in the good guys favor, and sometimes they do not. But, the level of coincidences in this story really stretch the level of reality (and not by just a little) and that is never good because it pulls the reader out of the story. This happens several different times and with several different events. I do not want to spoil anything so let just say that these coincidences were like finding a needle in a haystack, and the haystack filled up the Grand Canyon, yet there was no problem finding the needle....maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but at times I said to myself, "Come on...really?"

But, other than those issues, it was great to see the gang back at work. The action was still there, and there were a couple of times that I TRULY worried that Quinn just might be in over his head. So definitely moments of suspense.....

I also think that one of the reasons that it felt off to me was that the banter that is usually present between the gang, just was never given a lot of page time. Those relationships which are so strong, built on the flames of their experiences are one of the things that make this series so wonderful. It was missing, from all of them. We see some funny back and forth between Miyagi and Jacques, but honestly, not very much. If I had read this as a stand alone, I'm not sure that this would be a series that I continued, and that is a shame. But...I have spent the time to become invested. Marc Cameron has already done an amazing job in the prior novels of fleshing out these relationships so I am going to say this was a one off, a fluke and then start waiting for the next adventure that finds Quinn.

Thank you to NetGalley for letting me have an advanced copy of this for an honest review.

It's been a long wait for a new adventure With Jericho Quinn but I'm not dissapointed. As usual Marc Cameron tells a great story. This one is full of suspense and some action, you also find out more about some of the characters background which is always nice. I don't like to repeat myself but I have to thank #Kensingtonbooks and #Netgalley for letting me read another entertaining book. I can really recommend this series and only hope that the next one is on the way.

Unfortunately not the greatest in the Jericho Quinn series. Starts off interestingly enough with a nuclear weapon on the loose in Cuba however the plot doesnt lead anywhere for most of the book and then the whole book is wrapped up nice and easily within a few chapters.

It was difficult for me to get into Active Measures. I found the structure of the plot to be off the tracks. Yet I did finish the novel. Clarity was not easy to find, especially as the scene kept shifting.. But that does not mean the novel was not interesting, it just took more work. I am a fan of Marc Cameron, so perhaps my expectations were higher than they should have been. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.

The 8th book in the Jericho Quinn series and just as great as the others. Non stop action and I like how this book takes him to Cuba. Cuba has always interested me since it is so close but we really know little about it. Jericho gets a call from an old friend who then turns up dead. Jericho keeps following the trail of this strange killing all the way to Cuba. Faced with almost insurmountable odds, Jericho winds up facing almost a mirror image of himself. Pick up this book and you won't be disappointed.
Thank you Netgalley, Marc Cameron, Kensington Books and Pinnacle for the ARC for my honest review.

Marc Cameron's principal protagonist makes another appearance in this novel. Like the previous books featuring Jericho Quinn and his team the story involves continuous action and more action. The entire novel is one long adrenaline rush. The current book begins as a Cuban scientist, his wife and little girl arrive on the coast of Florida after fleeing Cuba. He brings a secret that he is anxious to impart to American authorities. Unfortunately he and his wife are killed by Cuban revolutionaries along with an American that spotting them on the beach goes over to help them. The American and his wife are good friends with Jericho and have managed to call him by cell before they are killed.
To exact revenge for the killing and to find out what is the secret that the Cuban scientist was anxious to bring Jericho and his team travel to Cuba posing as tourists out for a few days holiday on the island. The Cuban government finds out that Jericho is there to find the reason for the scientist's death and take steps to correct the situation. Mr Cameron presents a picture of the conditions present on Cuba which are at variance with the face that the Island nation tries to present to the world in order to attract tourism. It is one of devastation and poverty almost beyond imagining. A place where the leaders of the revolution are the rich with everyone else trying to scratch out a living. The reasons for the huge influx of boaters attempting to arrive in the US is very apparent. It is a case of a possible good future but with the risk of drowning or facing a life time of destitution, the crushing of the population by secret police and endless spying by the dictators.
The plot of the novel is easy to follow. Find out what secret the scientist was bringing. Go through the mounting opposition by the Cuban authorities to Jericho and his team finding out and the hurdles appearing on a constant basis which must be surmounted in order to get the job done.

Jericho Quinn is back with lots of friends. He is contacted by a buddy who soon after the call is found murdered. The trail leads to Cuba, a Russian missile, and lots of close calls. Excellent journey through modern Cuba is included during the story’s development

Wow what a brilliant book!
I read a lot of military/action thrillers and have read quite a lot of different authors and I'm delighted to say that Marc Cameron will now be added to my list of favourite authors! I can't believe I've only discovered him now and one can definitely see that he worked in law enforcement for over 25 years. This makes his storyline and characters more believable. When it comes to this genre it is important that a book must pack a punch from the beginning and this is certainly the case here. The characters are also well rounded and I love the humour :“I don’t wanna hit a girl if there’s any way around it. Do me a favor, Chair Force. You hit her if she needs hittin’.”
The main character is Jericho Quinn who serves as an Air Force Combat Rescue Officer.
I dont like to give away too much of the story because that always spoils it for me but in short - a Soviet short-range nuclear missile is left behind in Cuba and the only person who knew about it is killed. Almost 60 years later it is discovered and an attack is planned on the USA. An aeronautical engineer escapes per boat to America but is killed together with a friend of Quinn and this sets in motion a trip to Cuba. In his efforts to find out the truth Quinn ends up in jail. Will he be able to get himself out of this position? Will his friends who went with him be able to find out what is going on and what happened to the engineer who was kidnapped in America?
Buckle up because this is one fast paced, action packed thrill ride of a book!

“Active Measures” is the 8th installment of the Jericho Quinn series by author Marc Cameron, and this series has become one of my favorites in this genre. The newest adventure revolves around a long-hidden nuclear weapon in Cuba, recently discovered by a rouge general in the Cuban army. Jericho Quinn, and all his friends from the series, become involved to try and thwart an imminent attack against the States. Fans of this series will not be disappointed, as the action is non-stop, intense, and has an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride feel to it. While I didn’t think it’s the best story in this series, it’s still a great read, and I look forward to the next Quinn adventure.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
