BISHOP'S WAR

This action-packed suspense thriller introduces us to Special Forces Sergeant John Bishop, decorated war hero and nephew of crime boss Gonzalo Valdez. After returning home from Afghanistan, John's hopes for a peaceful future are quickly shattered when he is catapulted back into the global war on terror through a succession of life-threatening events, intrigue, and corruption. He battles against terrorist operatives in New York, a powerful Afghan warlord, and a psychopathic billionaire with powerful White House connections. When John's uncle gets involved, he proceeds to treat John's enemies to a bitter taste of mob vengeance. From that point on, the ride speeds up and the reader will have to hold on for dear life. This is a thriller not to be matched for intensity and breathless excitement not for the faint-hearted.
