About this ebook
A World War III thriller from the author of the Ice Hammer series, who “has a knack for blending action and intrigue in an all-too realistic setting” (Evo Terra, founder of Podiobooks.com).
Karl Alexander’s day started with taking the most obnoxious Hollywood star on a low-orbit space tour.
By lunchtime, he inadvertently triggered a world war.
Then things got really bad.
Karl, a former USMC Harrier pilot, NASA astronaut, and Space Tourism pilot had always been an adrenaline junky, but he quickly finds himself in over his head. He’s swept up in an insane secret operation—the work of American CIA and British MI-6 agents—being helped by a family of resistance fighters and led by an Iranian-born deep-cover agent that he doesn’t begin to trust. Soon he’s trapped in an all-out chase to stop a squad of kamikazes armed with nukes who are rushing to drop their deadly payload onto U.S. troops and Israeli citizens.
Throughout the harrowing adventure, Karl is haunted by the memory of his first combat mission as a Marine Harrier pilot.
Somehow, he knows what he learned twenty years ago just might save the world today.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5action-adventure, combat, military, testosterone-fest, spies, spooks*****Action filled paramilitary testosterone fest full of weaponry, aircraft, blood, and gore set in two time frames but centering on one character. Told as current with flashbacks to twenty years prior when Karl was still active duty USMC pilot there's plenty of nastiness but balanced by a CIA looney by the name of Kharzai who had me spewing my coffee. Great read for some of us.I am based toward the USMC.Basil Sands gives his own narration and ramps up the urgencies dramatically without being dopey. Loved it!
