"Keeps you turning the pages and when you finish you are looking for the next book by the author!"-Goodreads reviewer 5 STARS
It's dangerous to be right when the government is wrong...
Hunted down by their government’s secret service, the members of protest band Kha Cring flee to Los Angeles to begin a new life. After an unexpected attack, the musicians’ safe exile in LA is jeopardized. The desire to fight for their country’s freedom undiminished, the band find their soaring popularity and politically messaged music no longer enough to protect them from the evil they escaped.
A deadlier weapon is needed. Nicholas Sharp.
In an instant things go terribly wrong as the former Marine sniper turned musician finds himself the focus of a network of international conspirators intent on wiping both he and the members of Kha Cring from the face of the planet.
Somewhere between Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Nicholas Sharp may be a flawed hero, but you sure as hell want him on your side.
What Amazon readers are saying about the Nicholas Sharp Series:

“… starts with action and tension, and builds continuously throughout the book. The characters are well developed and the story is captivating. Great read and a fun ride.”
