From the deserts of Mali to the Sea of Cortez to the halls of power in Washington DC, Alpha Strike introduces you to some of the worst—and best—human beings on the planet.
Ashur Badawi is a money laundering genius who perfected his financial chicanery working for Bashar al-Assad in Syria. When the Assad regime fell, Badawi fled, leaving behind his wife and child to fend for themselves.
Nice guy, huh?
Badawi doesn’t rampage through our novel shooting people. Rather, he exhibits the kind of passive evil that makes your skin crawl. A man who has the means to help his fellow humans and chooses not to, or worse yet, doesn’t even see the pain and suffering he’s caused.
On the other end of the good-evil continuum is Dr. Samantha Fremont. Sam, as she’s known to her friends, is a child of privilege. The finest education, access to powerful people of elite society, and money to spare.
She’s also a child of loss. Her mother to malignant illness, her father to benign neglect, and her husband to overwhelming narcissism. For all the advantages in her life, Sam Fremont has never really lived on her own terms.
What do you do when you feel betrayed by your life?
Blow it up and start over, of course.
When we meet Sam in Chapter One of Alpha Strike, she’s divorced her husband, cut off all ties with her father, and is working at a field hospital in Burkina Faso on the southern border of Mali.
And for the first time in her life, she’s happy. (Thanks to us, that happiness lasts about 3 pages…)
When Sam is kidnapped and spirited into war-torn Mali, our old friend Harrison Kohl gets called to the White House.
When we said “access to powerful people of elite society,” we really meant it. Doctor Samantha Fremont is not just any doctor. She’s the estranged daughter of a powerful Senator and the goddaughter of the President of the United States.
The tasking Harrison gets from the Commander-in-Chief is more than just urgent. It’s personal.
Find Samantha Fremont—before her captors figure out her real identity.
Good luck, Harrison. You’re gonna need it.
Gear up for Alpha Strike, the 13th installment of the Bruns-Olson national security thriller franchise.
As always, thank you for your continued support –
