A Leafy Green World/Al-thar

By Sean Dow

A Leafy Green World is the exciting introduction of Dr. Brent Holcomb. With his life and career on a steady downward slide, Brent moves to Portland, Oregon-it will likely be his last chance at redemption. Things go smoothly in his new home, he has even met Robyn, the girl of his dreams.Then a chance encounter with an overweight barber and his friendly Labrador send things spinning in a direction he could never have anticipated. Now, caught up in the murder of an innocent man and enmeshed with violent domestic terrorists with ties into local law enforcement, Brent has only one chance. He forms a bold plan to earn their trust as he seeks to free himself and to bring them to justice, but complications arise when a deeply hidden Middle Eastern terror cell comes into the picture.

Now the stakes are much higher, with two improbable allies working together to achieve the destruction of America.

Al-thar continues Brent's adventures, with even more action than in Dr. Dow's first novels. Living peacefully on the island of Masbate, in the Philippines, things are heading in the right direction, but soon he discovers that the protection of the FBI's witness protection plan is not enough, when one has stopped the actions of the world's most deadly terror organization. An assassin is on the way, but his plans are far worse than a simple bullet to the head. With the violent destruction of his new home, Brent's life is once more torn apart. He reassembles his cast of friends from A Leafy Green World as he sets out on a quest for al-thar(Arabic-revenge), hatching the most daring con ever conceived. The action goes from the Philippines to Washington, D.C., and from a hidden valley deep in Pakistan to the jungles of Sierra Leone in this timely and fast-paced thriller that has been described as being too close to reality.

Please join Dr. Holcomb and his endearing friends as they travel the world in this thrilling compilation of adventures with animal rights activists, eco-terrorists and deadly Ebola attacks.
