Description Never For Glory by Lloyd Lofthouse
He’d give his life for his country. But this time, it’s personal.
Josh Kavanagh burns for vengeance. Parachuting with no backup into a lawless area of southern Venezuela, the Special Ops legend is intent on hunting down the rogue agent who put his wife in a coma. But as soon as he gets feet on the ground, the loyal protector discovers he’s dropped into a trap… and a sex trafficking operation run by the Russian mob.
Fighting his way out and desperate to rescue the victims with minimal body count, Josh plans a daring raid on a remote ranch. But after learning the identity of the mastermind behind the hit on a former lover, the talented operative takes the law into his own hands on a hell-bent solo mission for revenge…
Will Josh’s single-minded thirst for justice finish on the wrong side of a gun barrel?
Never for Glory is the pulse-pounding second book in the Josh Kavanagh thriller series. If you like determined heroes, tough conflict ripped from the headlines, and page-turning action, then you’ll love Lloyd Lofthouse’s pursuit of payback.

Guest Review by Mark
‘Sliding his SEAL blade from its scabbard with his right hand from his waist-belt, he didn’t have time to go for a better target higher up, so he went for the man’s liver, buried the blade in it, and twisted.’
Josh Kavanagh has not had a very good run of things lately. And not just because he spends the beginning of this book fighting his way through a landmine-filled patch of southern Venezuela– no, the bad luck began before that.
See, Josh’s wife, Rachel was recently attacked and is now comatose, with little hope of ever regaining consciousness.
Most people might find it difficult to get out of bed under those circumstances, but Josh blocks out his emotions by putting himself entirely into his work. And what is Josh’s work, you ask? He is the commander of a special black ops military group. Which is, of course, not exactly the kind of job where you can call in sick.
Josh and his partner, Cheéte parachute into the Venezuelan countryside to find and capture a man named Damien Bran. Bran is a known sex trafficker and an all-around bad guy. He is also the man that is responsible for Rachel’s attack.
So, it’s safe to say that Josh has several reasons for attempting to capture Bran. But things do not go as easily as Josh plans when he gets his feet on the ground and…you are going to have to read the book to find out exactly what happens!
‘Never For Glory,’ is a dynamite book to sink your teeth into, with lots of heart-pounding action and witty dialog. I had a great time reading this from start to finish and I’m sure that you will, too. If you have not read the first book in the Josh Kavanagh series, ‘The Patriot Oath,’ I would recommend picking that one up as well!
5/5 Stars
