ALL OUT WAR

An elite American soldier who is out for vengeance uncovers a
menacing terrorist plot.

Retired U.S. Army captain and combat
veteran Parnell (Man of War, 2018) delivers the second installment of
the adventures of special operative Eric Steele. On the mend from a showdown
with a rogue agent, Steele is preparing for a quiet dinner at home with his
mother. The wine is quickly forgotten and the steaks start burning when Russian
assailants bring the war to his doorstep. Using RPGs, C-4 explosives, and
a SAW machine gun, the Russians are after a mysterious package sent from
someone deeply connected to Steele’s past. Steele narrowly escapes the attack
with his life, but his mother ends up in intensive care. Shoulders heavy with
guilt, Steele must use his connections and skills as an Alpha—an elite operator
who answers only to the president—to find those responsible for the attack.
Pumped up with prescription steroids and with his “keeper” and close friend,
Demo, at his side, he takes off for Europe to follow the only clue offered by a
former president, who cryptically refers to some off-the-books operation called
Cold Storage. The mission becomes increasingly complex, dangerous, and engaging
once Steele learns that the attack on his home is tied to assassination plans
for some of the world’s most prominent leaders.

A well-written and well-researched page-turner.
