Donovan Lang

Dan Eversmann travels all over the world, keeping people in dangerous places safe. After a mission goes bad he needs some down time, but before he gets too comfortable he gets a call from an old colleague asking for help. It's the sort of job he's done before, but the location has him puzzled. It's close to home, but with the same dangers he's battled in the farthest corners of the globe. But now he's on home turf, and in an environment where everyone must tread carefully, he's right at home.

Imagine a small county where an hour's drive takes you from rural Amish country covered with grape vineyards through once-proud small towns now rampant with crime ending in an impoverished Native American Reservation. Imagine the plight of the law-abiding residents of the small towns suffering through having to pay for a metropolis 450 miles away as well as political tyrants failed policies. Imagine safe neighborhoods once full of beautiful, well-maintained homes becoming dilapidated ganglands. Imagine your children moving away to greener pastures and their places taken by thugs and druggies. Imagine the despair as the local economy dies while being smothered by astronomical taxes and unemployment as businesses fail or leave. Imagine having your Police vilified and defunded. Imagine trying to live your life the right way with morals and honor in a failing society. Imagine moving away from the failing towns to escape the crime and the smoldering ashes of a not so civil war being stirred to life. Imagine an unknown entity fanning those ashes into a raging fire, and your town, your county, your state, and your nation is at war with itself. Imagine being caught in the midst of unspeakable violence while just trying to get home to your family. Imagine having realized that something like this was coming, having prepared for it, despite being treated like a "loser" by the politically correct culture that caused this. Imagine leading a small band of like-minded armed patriots protecting friends and family in the face of daunting odds as the violence spreads to the rural areas. Imagine organizing a small community to be able to survive a harsh lake effect snow-filled winter while fending off marauding gangs. Inside these pages, you won't have to imagine.

He stops the killer but Sinaloa cartel leader Eliana Cortes orders her men to kill the Americans. Wolf’s father is killed, and his mother critically wounded. The cartel princess gets away, but not until he silences the rest of the shooters. Wolf vows revenge no matter the cost.

Trevor McCowen lives a complicated life. A successful financial planner by day, he trains with law enforcement and works armed security nights and weekends—nothing too dangerous, just some wild fun and a couple of stories to tell...

That is, until the son of a longtime client unwittingly launders money for an international drug dealer, pulling a reluctant Trevor into a complex web of post-9/11 federal bureaucracy and high-stakes operations.

As the pressure mounts, Trevor works "close follows," investigates petty crimes, and engages in hardcore tactical exercises... All while navigating life with his wife and two daughters, daily pressure from his bosses in the financial planning HomeOffice, and an aggressive group of federal agents and drug dealers until he's forced to apply his tactical training to the life and death situation in which he ultimately finds himself.

Trevor McCowen... an atypical hero just ordinary enough to be dangerous.

Trusted CIA operative Tom Delang is kidnapped in Dammam by Iranian operatives following a meeting with the Saudi ambassador to the United States and is tortured for coveted information.

Discovering that Delang is of personal interest to the Russian president, Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Rahim Shirazi offers to trade the American to the Russians in exchange for access to their secret missile system. Together, the two countries conspire to overtake the American military base in Bahrain, currently home to the Fifth Fleet.

On Capitol Hill, Senator Vivian Walsh exploits the media and attempts to manipulate the Defense Department as she conspires to have the base closed after a drone strike targets two high-value terrorists but kills several Iraqi children instead.

While Delang is locked away for months, Kirk Kurruthers, an American of Iranian descent, finds his grandfather murdered by mysterious Iranian intruders. After uncovering his family’s connection to the 1953 CIA coup that deposed Mohammed Mossadegh, Kirk flies to Iran, hell bent on revenge, where he is met by his in-country guide, Farhad.

Following his own capture, Kurruthers, along with Delang, risk a daring and unconventional escape into neighboring Turkmenistan, their only hope of surviving and disclosing the truth.
