If you liked Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp, then you'll enjoy Morgan Rapier. Daddy's Little Felons, Rick Bennett's second novel, introduces former U.S. Navy SEAL and computer wizard Morgan Rapier, a one-man force of nature whose retaliation against Russian and Chinese hackers inadvertently starts and eventually wins a world-wide cyberwar. His creative attack against one Islamic hacker nearly sets off a holy war. The video of his beating up a child abuser goes viral to become the number-one recruitment vehicle for the SEALS. And his tracking down a serial killer in Utah embarrasses quite a few prominent locals, whose ancestors participated in the Mountain Meadow's Massacre. In short, Daddy's Little Felons demonstrates the magnitude of "unintended consequences" in our digital age.
