“Wow!! I simply just kept reading, I was hooked pretty much from the start, and can't wait to read more.”-Amazon Reviewer 5 STARS
Step up, or get the hell out of there...
A goodwill visit to Sudan, what could possibly go wrong?
Former US marine sniper turned musician, Nicholas Sharp is performing as part of a cultural group representing the US. Suddenly caught up in the middle of a political coup, the leader of the American contingent goes missing, his security detail murdered. Communication with the outside world is cut off. It falls to Sharp and Greatrex to track their missing leader down. But then, things get really complicated…
Somewhere between Clancy’s Jack Ryan and Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, Nicholas Sharp may be a flawed and reluctant hero, but you sure as hell want him on your side.
