Storme Warning (Wyatt Storme Book 4)

I'd have to say that "Storme Warning" is the best book of the Storme series. Surprised to see that the first three books were written 20 yrs. earlier. The wit and sarcasm of Wyatt and his buddy Chick are on par with the earlier books and will keep you smiling throughout the story.In this episode, Wyatt is approached by a famous Hollywood director who wants to film a Jesse James western on his property. Since Wyatt does not like people snooping on his property, he initially rejected the offer. However, Chick had been hired by this director to be a bodyguard for one of the top stars of the day because of death threats and contingent on their use of Wyatt's property. So, Wyatt reluctantly agrees with but with several glaring conditions.The movie star, Cam, is a piece of work and an easy egotistic character to hate - a three piece group of "followers" beckon to his every wish. With his life style and actions, It's easy to understand why somebody wants him dead. In fact, Wyatt and Chick soon discover that every cast member also has a reason to see him dead. Thus, making it extremely difficult to protect the actor.Meanwhile, a former mobster knee-breaker, Rory, is freed from prison and makes it his agenda to locate and kill Wyatt, as pay back to Wyatt for hurting him badly when Rory tried to collect mob money from a friend of Wyatt's a decade earlier. Other characters also visit the set, skinheads, the press, police and a mobster and his bodyguards, all give both Wyatt and Chick a run for their money,Wyatt's long-time girlfriend, a famous TV news professional, accepts a promotion - her dream come true. However, it will require her to remain in New York and significantly reduces the amount of time they normally spend together. This is a personal dilemma that they must work through.His friend, Chick, is later injured due to a case of mistaken identity - Chick is a stand-in and stunt double for the lead movie star and was taking his place during a filming shoot. People are also beginning to die within the county and the sheriff wants answers - knowing that the two men are withholding information. The author keeps readers wondering throughout! The final battle might be the end of Wyatt Storme and some of his other friends! Thus, the end of the series. You'll have to read the book to find out how it all ends. Great job Mr. Ripley! Perhaps there's another Storme adventure in the making? I sure hope so!John Podlaski, authorCherries - A Vietnam War Novel.

What a very funny book about people who think they can act should be above the law justice will be served.

This is the fourth book in the Wyatt Storme action/adventure. I have read books 1, 2, and 4 now and enjoyed all of them thoroughly.1. HAIL STORME - originally published as DREAMSICLE2. STORME FRONT - originally published as STORME FRONT3. EYE OF THE STORME - originally published as ELECTRIC COUNTRY ROULETTE (coming in early 2016).4. STORME WARNING - newly published in February 2015.The first three books were originally released back in the 1990s.I liked this offering in this series from author Ripley just as much as the others. Wyatt Storme, ex-pro football player and Vietnam vet, teams up again with Chick Easton, ex-CIA spook. Their one-liners alone are worth the cost of the books.This book takes place in Missouri rather than Colorado (Storme has cabins in both states). Easton is the bodyguard for a spoiled Hollywood actor that has been receiving death threats. Storme is letting a Hollywood director film a western on his property in Missouri.Thugs with Italian names, drugs, a real-life shoot 'em up western, sycophants, Storme's romance with newscaster Sandy having a twist added in, more and more one-liners - toss all these things together and we get another great addition to the Wyatt Storme series.I love the dry humor in these stories, love the characters of Storme and Easton, and appreciate the life author Ripley breathes into his stories.

Wiley and Chick at it again. Tense moments throughout this one with a really fun ending. Picking up the next one in the series now!

This may sound crazy but I loved this series so much, I read the last book VERY slowly because I didn't want it to end. All four books were great and can't really say which of the four is my favorite. My husband keeps asking me why I am chuckling...yes, thrills, mystery and laughs. Doesn't get any better. I sure hope Wyatt and Chick are back again!!

This author is fantastic! Constant action and laugh out banter! I hope there are more books about Storme and Chick! Best action books I have ever read! Busy Bee

This entry in the Wyatt Storme series has the tough guy dealing with a Hollywood movie crew on his property. Of course, the mob is involved, as well as a crazed vengeance seeking thug.Storme has to wade through all of these distractions to find out who is trying to assassinate a big movie star.

Once again,a real page turner! Wyatt and Chick kicking ass and taking names! A bit predictable but and unrealistic but a hoot none the less! I recommend this and all in the series!

Have now read the fourth in the Storme series. All have been enjoyable, well done Mr. Ripley. Hope there are more forthcoming?

Just finished reading it - refreshing to say the least - will definitely read more of this character

Superb. I have now read all 4 books in the series and have devoured each one. High quality writing, excitement and humour led by 2 great protagonists to equal anything by Robert Crais.

Can't quite get a handle on Wyatt's desire to live like a weird hermit. His objection to committing to Sandra, even though he says he loves her. Strange fellow. The repartee between Chicken and Wyatt is pretty hilarious at times. Didn't really care for the characters associated with the movie. A real bunch of misfits. Aside from this particular book I read a lot by a variety of Amazon authers and am really surprised at the poor job of editing that is common to the books. I noticed but one really obvious editorial oversight in this book. At the end of chapter 34, Wyatt gets out of his Jeep. On the next page, he gets out of his Mustang. Go figure!
