From the list, he got three: All were, or had been, special forces trained in their countries. All were wary of each other and all three were wary of Stone. It's a nice set-up for the series to come. I look forward to future entries. Jan 25, Sean Randall rated it did not like it.
I must confess to being disappointed by this one. Between them, the authors are quite prolific in their output and yet some basic grammatical editing would've been nice. The phrase "each time" appears no less than three times, twice in the same sentence and at the beginning of the next, for instance. Then there's the complete idiocy of the plot, the rather gargantuan assumption that 66 years elapse without need for anything like the team being assembled in this book coupled with the team leader' I must confess to being disappointed by this one. Then there's the complete idiocy of the plot, the rather gargantuan assumption that 66 years elapse without need for anything like the team being assembled in this book coupled with the team leader's incompetence and a shadowy, string-pulling figure far too remote to be of any interest and I came away wishing I'd read something else.
The effort is there, but it's the sort of writing I'd expect from a teen with an adult copyeditor putting in a bit of work.
The military stuff is bland, the action cheap, consequences short-lived and time compressed to give the story more. If you like your military and mythology to mingle, you can find better mixes. If you like your commanders with a complete set of dimensions, there'll be plenty elsewhere. If you like your writing grown-up rather than just peppered with a few expletives you can find that almost anywhere else and if you have interest in covert ops or military hardware this will only be of interest if you want to get your little toe in.
The Cerberus Protocol (HELLstalkers, #1)
Oct 23, Nick rated it liked it. The story was a bit shorter than I expected so there was not really all that much time to build suspense. Each time a problem or an issue arose, it was resolved really quickly. I am not usually into SiFiy type stories but this was was rather ok. I chose to read this book because it was in the StoryBundle that I just bought. So in the end an okay story any maybe worth reading if you are looking for a quick read. Jan 14, Mathew Walls rated it did not like it Shelves: US army captain Tough Manly is drinkin' beer and eyein' up a hot chick at a bar, 'cause he's just come back from being awesome at soldiering and now he's ready for some action But then terrorists attack so he leaves his beer undrunk and gets ready to save the world.
That was chapter one in a nutshell and I'm not reading any more of this shit. Feb 25, Eero rated it did not like it Shelves: The best thing about this book is that it is very short.
It read almost like a parody of military action thrillers, but seems deadly earnest. When the Russian character, whatever her name, was introduced, I was strongly reminded of Danger Five, which is much more fun and has better characterization.

This is rather dismal and boring. Dec 04, Sarah Wilson rated it really liked it Shelves: I'll probably continue the series if the next books are cheap enough. Nov 14, Dave Shaw rated it it was ok Shelves: Predictable plot, sparsely written with uneven pacing, poorly copy edited to the point that it was confusing at times. Might read the sequel if it's cheap. Nov 09, tivasyk rated it it was ok.

Mediocre character development, which leads to cookie cutter single dimension characters. Good for kids who want Call of Duty mixed with pseudo-Lovecraftian "horror" without the whole actual "tension" thing. Good read as an initial story line book.
Nassise and Merz have created a new world for their readers to explose, much like the Lawson books. Stone the main charracter is an interesting mix of traumatized survivor and green leader. You get to read his first steps of growing into a battle hardened fighter against a danger from beyond our world. While this book was written as a gateway to a new series, it still holds plenty of action, excitement and a fast pace that will still hold your interest from page one to the back cover.
It will be interesting to see both how Stone, and his misfit team grows over the next few books. The writing is crisp, helping set the pace, but does sacrifice some descriptiveness to accomplish this.
The Cerberus Protocol
A trade off, but one that a fan of the old alpha team books, abet with a supernatural twist, will not mind. Over all, an enjoyable start to this new series. One person found this helpful. I've enjoyed reading stories from both authors previously, but I was only able to slog my way through the first four chapters of this one before I deleted it. This is an exciting book, but character development and suspense could have been better. A recent, similar tale, by Grieg Beck comes to mind.
However, it was fast paced and pretty well written. There were more typos than one of the other reviewers mentioned, but Kindle does not lend itself to easy editing, so I do not 'mark' kindle typos. Still, if this is an ongoing series, I expect I'll be reading them all. This book is too short and does not develope characters. It is designed just to give you a taste of what may follow. However, at this time there is nothing in the works to follow up. As long as you don't think to much this is a decent read. Characters are pretty basic and plot is thin but I still enjoyed reading the Cerberus Protocol.
The book is really short and to the point, the point being lets kill demons. All the stops have been pulled out of this one.

Every communication from inside was cut off and the last thing seen before the recording stopped was a flash of energy. Thanks for telling us about the problem. Stone the main charracter is an interesting mix of traumatized survivor and green leader. Predictable plot, sparsely written with uneven pacing, poorly copy edited to the point that it was confusing at times. The full release will be available just before Christmas.
