Opis

She is beautiful, and absolutely perfect, an ideal specimen in every way, but she is also a vicious killer, and she should be-her precise engineering demands it. -Rich with action, great characters, and a writing voice that reflects the exceptional experience of the author...- Amazon Reviewer Book two of -The Fearless Trilogy- begins five years after the horrific attacks that left thousands dead and the crew of the famed science research vessel Fearless fighting for their lives. For ex-Navy SEAL Alex Moss and his surviving crewmen, the years have helped to heal old wounds, yet painful memories linger. As much as Moss loves the ship he commands, Fearless is a constant physical reminder of the men that were lost. She is both his life and yet another violent battleground of his past, a past he will be forced to confront in ways he could never imagine. Dr. Thomas Falcon's five year sentence inside Manila's infamous, New Bilibid Prison has come to an end. Now he's back on the outside, though he's anything but free. Tormented by the tragic events he unwittingly instigated, he knows his penitent path is not yet complete. What Falcon doesn't know is that his spiritual journey has only just begun as he struggles to understand and control the ancient power he possesses. From the Author T. R. Schumer: -In many ways I wrote Drone Catch as a black comedy in the tradition of Dr. Strangelove. It's a story about our ever increasing drive to create more exotic ways to kill each other, but juxtaposed against our spiritual selves. At the novel's center is the never ending race to build even more stealthy, lethal, yet cheap, weaponry to fight America's covert, proxy wars around the world. It's a farcical reflection on a military industrial complex gone rogue, and an Intelligence community so enraptured with its own secrecy, so trapped within its own hubris and interagency competition, that they eventually turn on each other- even at the expense of the people they are sworn to defend.-
