About this ebook

“Thriller writing at its best. Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”

--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)

“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”

--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)

When nuclear waste is stolen by jihadists in the middle of the night from an unguarded New York City hospital, the police, in a frantic race against time, call in the FBI. Luke Stone, head of an elite, secretive, department within the FBI, is the only man they can turn to. Luke realizes right away that the terrorists’ aim is to create a dirty bomb, that they seek a high-value target, and that they will hit it within 48 hours.

A cat and mouse chase follows, pitting the world’s most savvy government agents versus its most sophisticated terrorists. As Agent Stone peels back layer after layer, he soon realizes he is up against a vast conspiracy, and that the target is even more high value than he could have imagined—leading all the way to the President of the United States.

With Luke framed for the crime, his team threatened and his own family in danger, the stakes could not be higher. But as a former special forces commando, Luke has been in tough positions before, and he will not give up until he finds a way to stop them—using any means necessary.

Twist follows twist as one man finds himself up against an army of obstacles and conspiracies, pushing even the limits of what he can handle, and culminating in a shocking climax.

A political thriller with heart-pounding action, dramatic international settings, and non-stop suspense, ANY MEANS NECESSARY marks the debut of an explosive new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

Book #2 in the Luke Stone series is also now available!

Not that sure about this one. It is an exciting page turner, makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next, but is also quite violent, plenty of blood & gore which might put some people off. Would make a good movie with someone like Liam Neeson playing the goodie! Ends extremely abruptly, meaning you have to read book 2 to see what happens.

A great tale of political intrigue, last minute saves, profound loses, and constant action, such as seen on the TV series '24'. I look forward to volume II and the continuation of the new crisis with Luke having time to hopefully save his family and deals with never ending crisis and saving the government if not the country.

Great story, almost believable. Good characters. If it was a movie I would pick Donny Wahlberg to play Luke. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because there were a couple of plot elements that were pretty far fetched and I thought the ending was a little weak. But it was fun and I would definitely recommend it.
