BOOK DESCRIPTION
James Campbell is the world's leading expert on crop viruses. He discovers clay tablets from ancient Persia with a clue to the location of a golden urn marked with the curse of a Greek goddess, part of treasure seized by Alexander the Great during the fall of Babylon. His discovery puts him dead center in the cross hairs of a conspiracy bent on world domination. He is horribly murdered, along with two of his colleagues. The murders get the attention of Elizabeth Harker, Director of a black ops intelligence unit called the Project. Nick Carter is the Project team leader. He struggles with PTSD from his years
as a combat Marine and conflicting thoughts about his lover and teammate, Selena Connor. Selena's been with the Project for less than a year. She's having a hard time dealing with her feelings for Nick and the mayhem that goes with her job.
Nick and Selena follow a bloody and explosive trail through Greece, Bulgaria and America. They uncover a deadly plan of corporate greed that will cause millions to die if it succeeds. Director Elizabeth Harker must forge a dangerous alliance to try and stop the plot and avoid certain war with Russia. All the while, a high-placed American traitor does his best to sabotage the Project at every turn...and time is running out.
AUTHOR BIO
I'm a former Marine and musician. My first book was a Sword and Sorcery novel, "The Bane of Kanthos", published as an Ace paperback in 1969 under the pen name of Alex Dain.
I live in Northern California in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains. I like riding old, fast motorcycles, sipping Barbados rum and playing guitar, usually not at the same time.
I write action/adventure thrillers. WHITE JADE is the first in a series featuring the PROJECT, a covert, small intelligence unit reporting only to the President. THE LANCE is second in the series, the third is THE SEVENTH PILLAR. BLACK HARVEST is Book Four. Book Five is now in progress and will be released in December of 2012. Any of the books can be read out of sequence.
Video trailers are fun and you can see mine on this page.If you have difficulty loading the video trailer for White jade, here's the YouTube link: http://youtu.be/4TfTMEoXWBY
