Just when former counterterrorist operative Bruce McGowan has finally become comfortable in his retirement, the leader of the free world and his wife decide to spend a pre-Christmas weekend with the McGowans at their charming bed and breakfast retreat, Wolf Laurel. However, the President of the United States is scarcely settled in with his protection detail when Wolf Laurel suddenly comes under a deadly attack by a previously unknown terrorist faction bent on taking the President hostage until the group's demands are met. This 5th installment in the McGowan series finds the President now compelled to trust only one man for his protection. Can Bruce arrange to get the President safely returned to Washington on his own while the insurgents, who are leaving scores of innocents in their wake, continue their relentless hunt for Eagle One? And will the terrorists actually follow through with their threat of detonating a radioactive dispersion device in city after city until the President surrenders, wreaking even greater devastation than was realized on 9/11? All the ingredients McGowan fans enjoy are here edge-of-your-seat intrigue, non-stop action, violent execution, unforeseen betrayal, and dogged resolve on the part of America's most daunting former G man. But let's not leave out those timely splashes of Bruce's witty humor. In this slam-bang terrorist novel, you will again find McGowan operating at his unrelenting best.

International terrorist Asahif al-Massoud, AKA The Viper, will soon arrive on U.S. soil to carry out the most heinous and murderous terrorist plot since 9-11. By engaging an American-based Jamaat ul-Fuqra element, his plan is to simultaneously detonate explosive devices in a number of American cities, including Washington, D.C. and New York's Manhattan, that will kill thousands and destroy the cities' infrastructure. Bruce McGowan would do almost anything to protect the citizens of the United States. But would this former counter-terrorist operative actually agree to come out of his retirement to take on yet another mission for the Government, and in doing so, break a promise to his wife, the lovely Adriana, proprietress of Wolf Laurel? And who is the mysterious hit man, Atticus Steed that McGowan has been tasked to locate...this cold and calculating killer still on America's Most Wanted list? Is the Government really serious about Bruce engaging an executioner like Steed to take down the Viper in exchange for a full Presidential pardon? In this latest installment of The McGowan Chronicles, much to his chagrin, Bruce will reluctantly and with immense skepticism establish an alliance with hit man Steed and set him up to kill the Viper. Based on the latest Intel, al-Massoud will enter one of the thirty-five American al-Qaeda training compounds in early September. McGowan must now devise a tactical plan that will place him and Steed inside that camp to set up for the kill. Will McGowan's clandestine plan be successful? Will the number one sniper in the world get his crack at the most dangerous terrorist in the world? No matter what...the Viper must die.

Although he has now chosen to only work part-time for the Department of State, counter-terrorist operative Bruce McGowan continues to debate himself whether it is time to abandon the action life he has lived for over thirty years and finally settle down with his new bride, the beautiful Adrianna Wolf, or continue in his quest to protect Americas people. But suddenly an early morning phone call from his preceptor boss, Lionel Byrd, summons him for what could be one final, but very significant mission. This time it will be different. This time he will go solo on the job without partnering with his Zulu teammates.The most powerful figure in the world needs Americas best operative to investigate the thirty year old massacre of a Montagnard (Degar) village by an American infantry unit during the Vietnam War. Chosen for the mission not only for his investigative and special ops skills, McGowan is historically familiar with the ethnic group, having lived with the Degars in the early 1970s while training their soldiers. With a Vietnamese counter-part named Thanh, McGowan travels into the Central Highlands of Vietnam to seek out the only survivor of the village massacre to secure the statement that would bring down the former American commander, who is not only a man of prominence and wealth, but someone of personal interest to the White House.What follows is a whirlwind that tragically catches up the very people closest to McGowan, setting him off on a path of fury and vengeance unequalled to anything the reader has seen to this point in the anterior novels, Wolf Laurel and Provocation.
