A program meant to protect veterans has become a weapon against them. Ryder will destroy it and the people behind it.
James Ryder built Phoenix House to give broken warriors a second chance. But when a federal initiative designed to help veterans buy homes and start businesses is twisted into a predatory machine, that mission turns into something far darker. Veterans are being funneled into engineered defaults, stripped of everything they''ve built, and quietly erased when they push back.Ryder tries to stop it the right way first. Appeals vanish. Whistleblowers disappear. Media allies go silent. And with a congressional vote just days away that will expand the program nationwide, thousands more veterans are about to be fed into the same trap.
Behind it stands Congresswoman Reddy, the bill's architect and the public face of ‘support for veterans.’ Shielded by powerful allies who profit from the scheme, she believes no one can touch her.
But Ryder knows stopping the vote now requires something unthinkable. Assassinating a sitting member of Congress will ignite investigations that could dismantle everything he’s built.
Unless it looks like an accident.
Can Ryder dismantle a corrupt empire before the program devastates thousands more veterans and survive the manhunt that follows a congresswoman’s sudden death?
Stealth Retribution is the relentless fifth book in the James Ryder assassin thriller series. If you crave high-stakes vigilante justice, covert precision strikes, and a hero forced to decide how far he’ll go to protect those who served, then you’ll devour JT Porter’s most harrowing mission yet.
