Table of contents
This is Book 1 in the Delta Detective Series. Cage Foster returns in this series along with some of the other characters from the Delta Crossroads Trilogy. When Cage is called out to a Hoarders home, he discovers it is much more than meets the eye. Filled with twists and turns that keep you turning the pages until the end. It is a fast paced read, that you can read as a stand alone, but if you have read the Delta Crossroads Trilogy, you will want to read all of this series also. This is a great author that keeps getting better with each book.
What an amazing book! I am so glad Cage Foster is back. Cage is now a criminal investigator in this new series Delta Detectives. He is engage to Dani who is pregnant with their child. Cage is trying to keep his town safe and keep his pregnant fiance happy at the same time. This is a fast paced mystery with lots of twists and turns as Cage tries to find a missing girl. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing what will happen all the way to the end of the book. I loved every minute of it and I can't wait for the next book in the series. This book is a great book to read.
If you read Stacy Greens trilogy with Cage Foster as one of the main characters, then you will have no problems following Living Victim. One person found this helpful.

Cage Foster is a favorite character of mine and I enjoy Green's novellas--short crime suspense reads. One thing about a novella is they are short and you can read a complete tale in one sitting, which lends itself to immediate gratification rather than stretching the suspense for several days. Green has a unique and refreshing writing style.
Her stories incorporate a lot of desperation to resolve the crimes, but the story is never rushed and flows smoothly to a satisfactory conclusion. This was a fast paced easy read. I really like this author. Having read the all of her other books I was following the characters.
I knew their history. I would suggest that the previous books be read first starting with "The Tin God. The reason I gave this a 4 is it seemed rushed like an author trying to meet a deadline. It is fast paced and intense. I will continue to read her work. I want to continue following the characters she develops. Cage foster is a great character, missed his interaction outside the case.
Ms Green is a good story teller. She does need to understand dark stories can't always end without scars and they should be acknowledged. A survivor isn't fine, they are stronger or ruined, and the reader can handle that honesty. Slow starting then it captures you in the web of mystery and watching the story unfolding before your eyes. Great mystery and I wanted to finish it so I understand the mystery kidnapper and to see if this victim died or lived.

It can travel at unreal speeds, disappear on radars, and fly so quietly that enemies standing outside on a clear day would not realize it was flying overhead until its shadow passed over them. Together, the pair are adventurous and precise as they take on the missions assigned to them by their command group. The most recent mission was to photograph German oil wells in the Barents Sea. Oil wells that, for some reason, are under constant protection by the German Air Force and Navy.

Delta Crossroads Series – Stacy Green
William Lovejoy delivers a sensational, amazingly descriptive novel in Delta Blue. The novel is incredibly well written and takes the reader from Andrews Air Force base to the skies over Africa and all the way to a near Earth orbital platform known as Themis. The story takes us through the adventures of Delta Blue, the call sign for McKenna and his MakoShark, and the political workings which lead to the corruption within Germany that give rise to a new and dangerous threat.
Fans of military fiction and science fiction alike with love this fast paced read. This is an action-packed story set in the late stages of the Cold War. The technology -- some of which falls into the category of science fiction -- is well described and is a major character in the tale. I had read this book some years ago as a paperback.
When I learned that it was out as a e-book I had to read it again and thoroughly enjoyed the re-read. Delta Blue is a bit dated instead of Russians we have Soviets and it is an odd mix of present day with Nazi Germany. The plot imagines military air vehicles that have conventional engines plus rocket motors that can be throttled.
An interesting concept and certainly plausible. With Germany as the aggressor and hoarding energy to fuel their war effort, the US forms an alliance with the Soviets. But this is a story about people and it succeeds at that important level. There are some minor but glaring errors colors of the German flag, shuffling character names , but read through those few instances and you'll be glad you did. This book is better than 3 star, but falls short of 4 star. I've read some of Lovejoy's books in the past, and while I haven't been back to peruse his words lately, this particular premise caught my eye.
The swirling allusions to international geo-politics, illegal environmental practices, a new rising force from Germany, and the threat of World War 3 sounded like a return to Lovejoy's classic style. His military background has always informed his books with a sense of authenticity that I've truly enjoyed, and this book was no different. From the well-balanced military and technical details to the subtle, engaging characters that he creates, Lovejoy has once again launched readers into a thrilling adventure that seems a bit too close to reality for us to easily shake off.
It isn't some doomsday prophecy, but just a slight tweak of our current narrative into a world that isn't too impossible to imagine. This is another great one from Lovejoy, especially for his old fans who are looking for that earlier flair from his career. One person found this helpful. Delta Blue is a military thriller set at the end of the Cold War. William H Lovejoy does a great job of describing all of the technology some of which seems to be from the realm of science fiction.
One of the major characters in this book is one of those pieces of technology an aircraft named the MakoShark. It disappears off of radars and flies extremely high up into the atmosphere. Delta Blue is filled with action and suspense and perfect for anyone looking to be kept on the edge of their seat.
Through the eyes of this pilot you will get to travel far and wide. What I loved about this book is the fact that both McKenna and his MakoShark seemed to be integral parts of the story. This novel is filled with details and action. If I had known this book was going to be that good, I would have paid to read it. Not much, mind you. I have my reputation as a penny pincher to uphold! Finding it for free opened my eyes to another established writer I've overlooked. Now, I'm going to have to give up some of my hard-earned gelt to add some of his other novels.
A serious competitor to Dale Brown and others of that ilk. Good work, a good read, and money well not spent!
