Code Alpha
Over fifty years ago, amidst the chaos of the Korean War, a mind-bending experiment was conducted on American Prisoners of War. Today, James Hingam, the Speaker of the House, remains the sole survivor of that select group. As a post-hypnotic suggestion festers within him like a dormant dragon's egg, the final phase of North Korea's plan to tip the balance of power in their favor is about to unfold—the assassination of the President of the United States.
In Code Alpha, we delve into the tormented psyche of Lt. Brad O'Rourke, a Navy salvage diver who is the only survivor of an attack on his first ship. Struggling to suppress his haunting nightmares, Brad is drawn into a conspiracy after discovering a sunken fishing boat filled with stolen government supplies and a dead Marine. His investigation leads him to NCIS Special Agent Carolyn Hodge, and together, they uncover a plot to turn Hingam into North Korea’s unwitting pawn.
Bravo 2 Sierra
Only a madman would attack a U.S. Naval vessel in the midst of a furious hurricane. Santana J. Roja is that madman. Set against the backdrop of Honduras' lush rainforests and the storm-tossed Caribbean Sea, Bravo TWO Sierra chronicles the lives of Roja and his ruthless, Satan-worshiping pirate crew, alongside the weary crew of the USS Massasoit (ATF-167), an aging fleet tug counting down its final hours before being scrapped.
The novel opens with a flashback that establishes its core theme: unrelenting revenge destroys everything. After Carmella Roja is sold into a life of prostitution and drug addiction by the village priest, Santana grows up amidst the alleys and brothels of Puerto Cortez. Cast aside by the powerful Catholic Church due to his illegitimacy, Santana embraces the dark teachings of Satanism. Soon, he seizes control of the city’s vibrant black market. Now, with power at his fingertips, he is poised to take revenge on the men who caused his mother's death and the man he holds responsible for his grim fate.
