It was not only a season of change for them but a test of their resilience. Bruce McGowan, the president's pick for the National Security Advisor, had stepped away from his high-ranking position after a short stint, finding it was more of a political office than he anticipated. Atticus Steed, who had taken over the role of the director of the covert counter-terrorist team, Terminus, was on the cusp of resigning to try to salvage his marriage. Because he found himself away from home and in harm's way too often, his wife, Maria, had filed for divorce.

Most listeners and fans of the McGowan Collection Series Novels found a large interest in Bruce McGowan’s adventures while he was a Special Agent of the FBI for twenty years, so we have created a novel based on that time.

If Zufar al-Massoud, the celebrated leader of the Salafist jihadists, accomplishes his planned terrorist act, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. will forever be known as America's Day of Blood. He and his fellow conspirators will not only place multiple IEDs along the New York City Macy's parade route, slaughtering thousands of onlookers but will release canisters of sarin gas on the subway landings in both New York and Washington, D.C.

This 5th installment in the McGowan series finds the President now compelled to trust only one man for his protection. Can Bruce arrange to get the President safely returned to Washington on his own while the insurgents, who are leaving scores of innocents in their wake, continue their relentless hunt for Eagle One? And will the terrorists actually follow through with their threat of detonating a radioactive dispersion device in city after city until the President surrenders, wreaking even greater devastation than was realized on 9/11?

International terrorist Asahif al-Massoud, AKA The Viper, will soon arrive on U.S. soil to carry out the most heinous and murderous terrorist plot since 9-11. By engaging an American-based Jamaat ul-Fuqra element, his plan is to simultaneously detonate explosive devices in a number of American cities, including Washington, D.C. and New York's Manhattan, that will kill thousands and destroy the cities' infrastructure.

Former Marine sniper and CIA target man, Atticus Steed, turned professional hitman, now only takes down special targets...people who for one reason or another have literally gotten away with murder. Directed by an unknown unseen employer who identifies himself simply as Omega, Steed receives his sketchy instructions for the hits via text message from a burner phone. But who is Atticus Steed, really? And how does his employer gain knowledge about cases from all over the country...cases involving those murderers who for whatever reason have been set free by the system?

Retired FBI Special Agent, Bruce McGowan, now a counter-terrorist operative for the US Department of State, returns to his childhood domicile in rural West Virginia to investigate a young unidentified Middle Eastern male who was killed in a pedestrian accident. In the dead man's possession is alarming evidence of a terrorist plot to detonate a massive explosive device in a large Charleston, West Virginia-area chemical factory that manufactures deadly hydrogen chlorine and cyanide gases.

Although he has now chosen to only work part-time for the Department of State, counter-terrorist operative Bruce McGowan continues to debate himself whether it is time to abandon the action life he has lived for over 30 years and finally settle down with his new bride, the beautiful Adrianna Wolf, or continue in his quest to protect Americas people. But suddenly an early morning phone call from his preceptor boss, Lionel Byrd, summons him for what could be one final, but very significant mission. This time it will be different.

It is the Christmas season following the 9/11 World Trade Towers terrorist attack, and McGowan's newly appointed FBI special agent daughter, Caroline, assigned to the Denver office, is missing. As she is an avid lover of the outdoors, is she merely out of cellular range on a hiking venture in the Rockies, or has she in fact been kidnapped? From out of McGowan's past resurfaces a domestic terrorist, Jonas Karn, whom McGowan rather ruthlessly took down years before when he himself was an FBI agent. And to McGowan's horror, Karn, obviously out for revenge, says he has taken Caroline.

At first, neither George Washington nor the Continental Congress approved of enlisting African Americans in the new army. Nevertheless, Black men—both slave and free—filled the ranks and served in all of the early battles. Black sailors also saw action in every major naval battle of the Revolution, including members of John Paul Jones's crew aboard the Bonhomme Richard. At least thirteen Black Americans served in the newly formed US Marine Corps during the war.

Military history's hidden figures are given their due in this revealing and moving exploration of the pivotal role of African Americans who risked their lives for their country - even as they fought courageously to become full citizens. A retired Lieutenant Colonel, Michael Lee Lanning covers Black soldiers' involvement in conflicts from the colonial days through more recent struggles of the 21st century.
