Alpha Strike

 A hostage situation threatens to ignite a global crisis.  A brutal raid in Africa takes an American hostage—Doctor Samantha Fremont—turning a regional strike into an international emergency. Because this captive isn’t just any American—she’s the daughter of a powerful senator. And the United States has one narrow advantage: her captors don’t know who they’ve taken… yet. Fremont finds herself at the center of a criminal alliance between Mexican cartels and extremists in Africa’s Sahel region. The trans-Atlantic syndicate keeps the drug pipeline to Europe flowing and reaps billions in profits.  Harrison Kohl, Director of the CIA’s Special Activities Center, is given an urgent directive from the President: find Fremont before her captors discover her true identity. But Kohl faces an enemy with deadly capabilities on both sides of the Atlantic. Armed with cutting-edge weapons, cloaked by advanced operational security, and backed by billions in illicit funding, the syndicate is more than a threat—it’s a revolution in organized violence. As conventional methods fail, Kohl chooses to activate a disavowed asset and launch an off-the-books operation to rescue the doctor and destroy the syndicate—before it’s too late. From David Bruns and J. R. Olson, the authors of Command and Control, will devour this pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn, where covert operations and great-power rivalry collide.
