Story Behind The Book

As a former counterterrorism intelligence advisor, I wanted to create a novel that not only illustrated the realism in tradecraft and hair raising situations, but to also illuminate the angst and heartfelt challenges of warriors making impossible decisions and balancing family commitments.
