Investigative reporter Brittany Blake may have stumbled upon the story
of a lifetime in her search for her missing brother. When he seemingly
disappears overnight, she refuses to accept the Navy's
less-than-satisfying explanation. She begins her own investigation,
which leads her to top-secret SEAL teams, covert ops, and a possible
cover up...
John Donovan is having trouble biding his time, waiting for his Commanding Officer to figure out who set up their platoon. John's best friend and BUD/S partner, Brandon Blake, was one of the many lives tragically lost in the attack against his team. When Brandon's sister, Brittany, tracks John down, looking for answers, he realizes that she may be their best bet--or bait--for finding out who is targeting SEAL Team Nine.

Review: Off the Grid closely follows book one in the The Lost Platoon series (Going Dark) and while it can be read as a stand alone, my advice would be to start with book one. From the main character's viewpoint, both stories are independent, but the background is common and a few of the secondary characters follow the plot line in both books. Actually, there's a secondary plot (Colt and Kate's) which starts on book one and continues on book two.
To be honest, I enjoyed Going Dark a lot more than Off the Grid. The quality of the writing is still good, but there's a lot less action in Off the Grid. For most of the book Brittany and John are running in circles around the world. Brittany is mugged on a parking lot, her apartment back home is ransacked (while she's in Norway, so we just hear about it over a phone conversation) and not much more happens until almost the very end.
I do like the general background theme (the one that is common to both books and the reason why I advise you to read then in order) and that's why the next book in the series can't come soon enough (according to the author's homepage, Out of Time - Scott Taylor's story - is due to be published at the very end of 2018).
Happy readings,
