Saint Anthony's Fire is an action adventure novel that revolves around chemical and biological weapons and what could be happening to former Soviet black weapons. In this novel Soviet Major Alexander Gurnov relives the horrors of his wars in horrible nightmares that drive him to escape his reality, and vodka is insufficient for the task. He is the ring leader of a Muscovite Mafia that seizes a Russian freighter loaded with black weapons. The denouement takes place in the mouth of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii as U.S. Navy Seals risk it all to defuse a weapon of mass destruction.
Free Enterprise is an action adventure novel that revolves about the War on Drugs. From Bolivia to New Orleans, the novel takes a trip into the world of the smuggler and those who would stop their criminal enterprise. Jack Duran, a young Seal Lieutenant assigned to train a secret Colombian special operations unit, runs head first into reality and finds out that perception is reality..., and that reality can be damned. Like many men involved in the war on drugs, the Seals are sent off to the struggle not really knowing the nature of the problem. They stumble into it like a troop of soldiers on night maneuvers in a field full of cow pies. The nature of the problem is human nature in all its facets: Greed, corruption, the desire for power, the drive to survive amidst grinding poverty, and the desire to escape reality if only for the moment. The means of smuggling are real. Anything goes. Anything conceivable from submarines to honey coated plastic pellets swallowed, transported and excreted by international travelers. The naivet and the deceit are real. Only the story is fiction.
