About this series
And now the conclusion of Critical Mass:
With terrorists wreaking havoc in two major American cities, and the possibility of more terror attacks, the Dragonslayers are finally unleashed to go after them. They manage to chase down the terrorists responsible for the carnage, bringing them to justice. The President wants retribution for the over eight million lives lost. He wants ISIL destroyed. Rather than sending thousands of troops to fight a war, the President decides on surgical strikes at the heart of ISIL’s territory.
Meanwhile, Eagle discovers Colonel Remington has been dabbling in something far more sinister than anyone could have imagined. To test his theory will require a human sacrifice. But his research proves to be key in waging the war on terror. It also possesses the ability to wipe out the human race if it falls into the wrong hands.
Admiral Connors delivers the news to the team, and Eagle convinces him to let them launch a series of attacks. She doesn’t, however, tell him exactly how the war will be won. The admiral is skeptical, but lets them proceed. Three months later, the team spools up and deploys with their deadly cargo. They meet up with a Peshmerga unit in Iraq, and together, they take the fight to ISIL.

Al-Qaeda has a brand new weapon in their war of terror: a deadly unconventional explosive. The U.S. Government can’t figure out what it is, or where al-Qaeda is getting it, until two men try and help solve the mystery. Newly recruited Dragonslayer, Captain Cabbott Westmoreland, is the number one sniper in the world. Years of hunting animals and humans have sharpened his senses to amazing proportions. He must use those skills to unravel a major plot by al-Qaeda. Can he do it? Or will some personal blunders cost the lives of thousands across the globe? Time is of the essence if they are going to stop the attacks. Lieutenant Jake Collins finds the other piece of the puzzle. His jaded, bad-boy past helps uncover the source of the explosives. Now it’s time to take the fight back to the terrorists. The team, along with their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Eagle Tryggvesson, has to coordinate with other Special Forces units and government agencies to strike a blow to the heart of al-Qaeda. The thrilling sequel to PROJECT: DRAGONSLAYERS, it continues the saga of the unlikely Special Forces team thrown headfirst into the world of counterterrorism. Battling forces seen and unseen, they use technological advances to gain the upper hand against their enemies. Selected for the summer 2011 reading list for the Military Writer's Society of America.

Being forced to sit on the sidelines and watch terrorist organizations wreak havoc on the country you swore to defend is not something a warrior handles well. Still, the Dragonslayers are kept from bringing the perpetrators to justice. It’s not until the country is shaken to its core by horrific acts of terror that the team’s muzzles are taken off, and they’re let loose to deal with the situation. In the meantime, they must work together to save the base from an out-of-control wildfire, rescue hostages from a botched bank robbery, and solve a violent hate crime. However, their worst battles are fought in their minds as PTSD continues to ravage their psyches. Lieutenant Erik Sutton loses his battle and succumbs to the darkness which threatens to end his career, and possibly his life. It’s not until help arrives in the form of a biochemical pharmacologist, does Erik, and the team finally find peace with their demons. But this wizard of alchemy has a dark side, too. Lieutenant Colonel Galen Remington brings everything in his bag of tricks to heal the team. Secretly, however, he’s dreamed of being an operator, and this leads to some interesting escapades. Ultimately, it’s Galen’s thirst for personal revenge which prompts him to create a weapon that will tip the tide of battle in the Dragonslayers’ favor.

After serving over 20 years in the Air Force, I made the ultimate job switch: to farmer and author. It was a drastic change, not to mention a drastic pay cut! I've been writing 25+ years and have been published in a variety of media: book, newspaper, photography, and magazine. I love to write, it seems to be a passion I can't ever seem to satisfy.It started out back in the day with the first book of the Dragonslayers Saga. Project: Dragonslayers is an MWSA award winning novel about an unlikely Special Forces team who are thrown headlong into the world of counterterrorism. The second book, Dragonslayers: Mind Games, continues the saga where the team enters the twisted world of al-Qaeda. They must find the source of a mystery explosive, or risk losing more innocent civilians to attacks. This book was selected for the MWSA summer 2011 reading list. The third book in the series is Dragonslayers: Battle Rhythm. This time it's Yemen, and the team finds out they're not invincible. Two more books in this series are slated for release: Kill Box (2013) and Critical Mass (2016?).Also I've expanded my work in other genres. Out now is the best-selling contemporary romance, Cowboys and Olympians. You'll meet and fall in love with Leo Richards, a champion reining horse trainer, as he tries to convince himself that he can love again after his wife and unborn child were killed in a fiery car crash. He falls for Katie Shulman, a rich, stubborn woman who just doesn't like cowboys. I'm currently writing another romance titled Silks and Sand about a Kentucky horse-racing family that falls on hard times. The owner, Evan Stoddard, hopes to regain their glory by putting a big bet on an unlikely horse and rider combination—a bet that threatens to ruin his life.If supernatural thriller/ horror appeals to you, check out The Hall. You'll meet Marcus Bishop, wealthy Memphis book publisher; his new and terrifically eccentric best friend, Prince Mongo; along with a ghost and demons that haunt the old castle Marcus buys.After taking a dare from a horror author friend of mine, I started work on the “Space” series. Space Crazy introduces you to Dar Meltom, a half breed alien who's had a rough life. He longs for a life in the stars, and as difficult as it is, his mother manages to give that to him. Space Junk, Space Available, and Space Invaded are all available. I am working on probably the last book in the series: Space Vanguard.So far I've enjoyed working in all these genres, and have started converting some stories into screenplays. There are more things I'm working on, too numerous to mention. So keep checking my Facebook pages to see if there's anything new.I was given a rare distinction of placing 1st in Ron Knight's top 100 Facebook authors of 2012. He starts with 8,000 and narrows it down to 100. An honor indeed.As always, I appreciate feedback and book reviews. I'm a small fish in a huge ocean just trying to stay afloat. I love my writing and pour heart and soul into each work I do.MWSA: Military Writer's Society of America http://www.militarywriters.com/http://sturgeoncreek.blogspot.com/Twitter: sturgeon3736http://www.facebook.com/pages/K-Rowe-Author/136794706391542http://www.facebook.com/pages/Project-Dragonslayers/411626645650
