Following the senseless and brutal murders of both his father and older brother, a toughened and battle tested United States Marine uncovers a diabolical international plot to hijack a military laser weapons system. First Lieutenant Nick Gallaher soon discovers that several top Department of Defense research scientists, his father among them, were killed as part of an elaborate scheme to take possession of the game-changing laser system, codenamed Crossfire. This modern-day espionage thriller follows Gallaher at breakneck speed as he investigates and then races against time to stop the corporate black-market scheme before its consequences explode around the world. The story introduces enigmatic and interesting characters and employs the latest in military technology from intense cat-and-mouse nuclear-powered submarine chases beneath the ocean waves, to turbulent, bullet-riddled jet fighter skirmishes in the sky, to Cape Canaveral rocket launches and space-based satellite flight deviations in low-earth orbit. It blends the feel of a murder mystery and a near-future science fiction military adventure with the impact of todays impending economic, social, and political news headlines. Its dynamite with a short-lit fuse on steroids!
