"The Hammer" the story of a brilliant General in the Middle Ages. He defeated his enemies who were far superior in numbers of men and weaponry. Some historians think that his constant, enduring victories over the Muslims prevented the west (Europe now), from becoming a Muslim continent governed by Allah, ruled by Sharia law and without Christianity as we know it today. Most attempts to present the Middle Ages fall short in language and introspection. But, this action is different and unusual. If you feel yourself "standing next to The Hammer" and others and you recognize what they felt at that moment, then this is a great story for you.

The "Keflavik Incident" is inspired by true events and best described as a cross between two famous works - "The Caine Mutiny" (without the ship) and "A Few Good Men" (without the courtroom). The action takes place in the enigmatic country of Iceland in a contemporary setting. It explores the excesses of power and abuse in a peacetime military unit within a NATO community. This is good story telling.
