My new thriller, “Rock of Authority”, will be out 31 OCT 2019. Mike Mason retired from the Special Forces honorably, but no one was happy about it. Mike least of all. He left with the guilt of knowing his final operation in Afghanistan was nearly a total disaster that produced a list of casualties to include his brother. His brother dead, his family left him, he wants only one thing that he knows he can never have, to go back and avenge his brother’s death.
Everything changes when a CIA analyst recognizes a new pattern of behavior in the Afghani opium trade in the same valley Mike’s team was ambushed in years before. Mike’s contracted to conduct a simple in and out recon of that valley with a hand-picked team. Everything changes when Mike learns that the Taliban leader who ambushed his team has been spotted in the same valley.
They’ve given him the opportunity to go back and find the man who killed his brother, he’s not going to waste it on a recon. Regardless of who sent him and what their ideal end state is he’s going to find, fix, and kill an old enemy. And like every plan when boots hit
