North to the Caliphate – First book in the North series (Available now)

When a dodgy Iraqi teenager takes former Navy Seal Jack Landis to a field where numerous animals were slaughtered, they find the animals have vanished. Left behind are pools of blood and mysterious scorch marks. After investigating, Jack finds out the marks could have been made by laser weaponry. But they’d be too dangerous for humans to use; what could have fired them?

So begins North to the Caliphate, a 90,000-word thriller. In Washington, CIA Deputy Director Richard North is outraged when he is passed over for the top job. He first attempts to disgrace Lou Pendleton, the new boss, by bribing a U.S. interrogator with a gambling jones. When that doesn’t work, he turns to more extreme measures, which place the U.S. and thousands of lives in harm’s way.

Landis, an old friend of Pendleton’s, decides to jump back into action. North’s trail of clues leads him to Russia and the Middle East where he must rely on his training experience, and instincts in an attempt migrate a labyrinth of clues to stop what could turn into World War III.
