Terminal Objective: A David Rivers Thriller (American Mercenary) Paperback – January 24, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Russia is the final battleground.
David Rivers will be the first in.
From the city streets of the US to the war-torn deserts of Africa. From the snow-capped mountains of Asia to the narco-controlled jungles of South America, forces have been fighting for control of the ultimate criminal empire.
When an act of violence plunges the contenders into a final confrontation, David Rivers is sent in. He’s the first operative of a mercenary army.
Parachuting into Russia to link up with a mysterious intelligence agent, he must find a way to strike the heart of a ruthless criminal alliance.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. If David doesn’t succeed, he won’t just lose his life—he’ll lose everyone he cares about, too.
Because when this war is over, either one organization will stand…or none of them will.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024Terminal Objective is the sixth and final book of the American Mercenary series. It must be read in order. I believe there is a spin-off or follow-up series.
This series was totally AWESOME. There is a ton of fast-paced action, a plethora of eerily real combat scenarios and a main character who is doomed to lose everyone he loves, every time. Until, beyond all obvious possibilities, he successfully achieves his objectives and the mission ends.
I would absolutely recommend this book to any adult due to mature content. I look forward to reading the next series!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024The David Rivers Thriller series has ended with Book 6. Overall, it's a solid series with plenty of action, twists, and jaw-dropping reveals to keep readers engaged.
The main character, David Rivers, is a mixed bag of characteristics and flaws. He's an alcoholic in denial, not very brain smart, unhinged and emotional at times, mentally unstable, afflicted with chronic suicidal ideation, and in many ways, a follower, not leader.
He presents as a cognitive wanderer initially, and then through emotional chaos and voids, he creates self-imposed purposes while physically wandering between battle zones and battle missions.
Author Jason Kasper has written a series that is engaging and, at times, riveting. I recommend the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020I stopped what I was doing when this appeared on my Kindle and I read nonstop until I finished it. What a capstone masterpiece for the American Mercenary series! I did not see the twists coming and more than once I had to read a section again because I wasn’t sure what happened was really what happened! I was at times shocked, stunned, in tears, chuckling and cheering! By the last page I was satisfied. Satisfied with the whole series and especially with David Rivers. I am so proud of him! He is like a real person to me. I admire him, warts and all. (Note that it is CRITICAL that the American Mercenary books be read in order! They are all on Kindle Unlimited so you can read them for far less than outright purchase.) Mr. Kaspar, I will make a deal with you...you keep writing and I will keep reading! WIN-WIN!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020I love this latest chapter of David Rivers journey. His leadership skills are tested in ways that they've never been before as he tries to command people who aren't used to operating in military style ways. I do suggest you read this series in release order for maximum thrill and enjoyment, and be prepared to struggle to find a good stopping point if you need to put it down. This whole series appeals to me for its humanity, its real dialogue and the relatability of character's actions in life or death situations. I'm preordering all of Jason Kasper's series books going forward!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020Lock the doors, turn off the telephones, grab the bourbon and settle into your favorite chair with TERMINAL OBJECTIVE...
Fast paced action from the beginning grabs your attention and holds you hostage — do not plan to put this book down until you have finished it... Unforeseen actions consequently cause David to be haunted by some of his old demons... There are more twists and turns than a roller coaster ride and you really do not se them coming... I cannot say more without giving away major plot points, so I urge you to read the book (for continuity, read them all in order)... As always, I loved the high-octane, adrenaline-fueled, in-your-face action sequences in the book!
Mr. Kasper continues to tell me an incredible story in his own unique way and I am, more than ever, interested in what he has to say. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey thus far and have settled in to see where we go from here. I am a loyal Jason Kasper and David Rivers fan and cannot wait to glimpse their futures...
AfterThought: David Rivers: "Embracing the darkness had made me a proficient killer, an audacious operative with a near-suicidal risk acceptance."
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023This is the final installment in the series. This series introduces all of the important characters for the follow on series. I liked the follow on series better than this series. The characters are richer and the plots better developed.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024This turned out to be an awesome series of books! I’m looking forward to starting The Enemies Of My Country!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020... and, OK, I think I was able to ‘stay with’ this story, versus the previous books which focused a lot on David Rivers’ persistent, suicidal motives. This story has an ending, and a new beginning ... I’m not sure where the latter is going, but I liked this particular plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full circle
To say that I liked this series is an understatement. Action packed, and not for the faint if heart, it has everything! And with this last book, it really comes full circle, as we see more of those characters from the first books who we forgot about because of everything happening to David all over the world.
And don’t get me started about that awesome open ending, which makes me look very much forward to the author’s new series featuring David Rivers!
In other words, this book and the whole series are fabulous reads and great thrillers. I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars are not enough
Jason Kaspers books are simply amazing. The attention to detail in every aspect is brilliant and the story not as predictable as most other fiction books.
May this man live forever!
- Harley ClappisonReviewed in Australia on January 24, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, fast moving, great action and suspense
David Rivers certainly had his work cut out in this story dealing with the Russian gangsters, the severe cold, but ultimately winning through with skill, perseverance, and plenty of action.
- Bill ByrdReviewed in Canada on May 8, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars David Rivers is a fascinating character and Jason Kasper knows how to twist and turn him into a great read!
David Rivers is a one-man killing machine with a heart! His small group of mercenaries each have evolved into a bonded, fascinating and focused group of “good guys” who eliminate serious threats to world order. Throw in a little kid to love and look after; and you have endless plots and twists. Exciting, well-written, great characters; and even some warm and caring moments. You will not be disappointed!
