I deem it my personal privilege to have come to know Marion, as R J’s other half, who keeps encouraging him to continue providing us with great entertaining novels, and food for thought. She is standing by with the whip. Ending this introduction with an additional note of interest – Readers of thrillers such as Vince Flynn (Pursuit of Honor), Brad Thor, (The Apostle), andRobert V. Spelleri (Blast Man Standing), continue to be intrigued and fascinated how counter-terrorist investigators discover truths about themselves yet find the capabilities to unleash equal amounts of terror against those who harm America.
