D.O.G.: Executive Order by Robert Barlow Jr. (Book Review #2114)

In D.O.G.: Executive Order, debut author Robert Barlow Jr. delivers a gripping, high-stakes thriller that explores corruption at the highest levels of power—and the brave men caught in the crosshairs of politics and betrayal.

When the President of the United States makes a secret, illegal alliance with a dangerous terrorist to secure his re-election, it sets off a chain of events that spirals into a dark and deadly cover-up. The mission to eliminate the terrorist—and the truth—falls to elite sniper team D.O.G., made up of operatives Zach Hinson and Jason Jones. But when their successful mission is no longer enough to protect the president’s secrets, Zach and Jason find themselves targeted by the very government they served.

What follows is a fast-paced, action-packed fight for survival, as the duo becomes the hunted in a deadly game of political chess. Their training, loyalty, and grit are tested as they seek justice, freedom, and the truth—while outrunning those sworn to keep them silent.

Robert Barlow Jr.’s military background lends authentic detail and intensity to every tactical sequence, while his storytelling instincts keep the pages turning with relentless momentum. The narrative is tight, the stakes are high, and the characters—especially the stoic yet relatable team of Hinson and Jones—are deeply engaging. As readers follow them through betrayal, moral conflict, and explosive confrontations, D.O.G.: Executive Order delivers not just action, but heart.

This is a novel for fans of political intrigue, special ops thrillers, and redemption arcs forged in fire. With its sharp dialogue, believable scenarios, and edge-of-your-seat pacing, Barlow has crafted a compelling debut that deserves attention in the thriller genre.
