Coming Soon: Colt’s Cross
Book two of the Colt Garrett series
United States Secretary of Defense Colt Garrett suspects that a top-secret U.S. base in Cambodia may have been attacked by Soviet Spetsnaz troops following the U.S. evacuation from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975. Colt and a recently elected U.S. congresswoman lead a Joint Field Activity team to Phnom Penh to interview an eyewitness to the attack, and hopefully find and recover MIA remains. But an elite Russian special forces team, assisted by a spy buried deep in the Pentagon, races to prevent Garrett and his team from discovering Russia’s involvement in the attack, and if necessary, from returning to the U.S. alive. This spy thriller, set in Phnom Penh, Saigon and on the steamy waters of the Mekong Delta, gives non-stop action and a glimpse into the world of military espionage.
Colt’s Cross coming December 2021.
