American troops left Afghanistan. But, just as in Iraq, they were soon forced to return. Three Russian agents are trying to stop nuclear weapons stolen from Pakistan by the Taliban. The Taliban wants to use the stolen weapons to force America out of Afghanistan for good. Will nuclear strikes in multiple locations across Afghanistan let them succeed? Or can Russian agents and American special forces stop the Taliban in time?" The author has gone to great lengths, more than most, to justify the actions of each of the involved nations, especially Russia. At least for me, that gives the book much more realism and makes for a far more interesting story. His character development is great too. One becomes invested in his characters. Lastly, as an USAF veteran, his use of the military and descriptions of the personalities involved is outstanding."- Amazon Review

Iran's Supreme Leader will use three nuclear weapons, VX and two armored forces driving on Riyadh to overthrow the Saudi monarchy. Can Russian agents, Saudi tanks and American technology stop him in time?" Fans of military fiction will love the detailed descriptions of tanks, drones and warheads. But fans of political thrillers will enjoy the pacing and the story. It reads like a Tom Clancy novel, in that there are numerous characters and lots of moving parts. However, unlike Clancy, there are no side-plots that take a tangent to nowhere. Every person and event described in the book lead directly to the main plot, making this a pretty quick, concise read. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're curious about military fiction."- Amazon Review.

Kim Jong Eun is dead. The North Korean military is now in charge, and they believe they can reach Seoul, just 35 miles away. They think a nuclear weapon hidden in LA will keep the US out of the war. But what if they're wrong - and what about Russia, China and Japan? The North Koreans may find that even the best plans don't survive contact with the enemy." This book was like Tom Clancy reincarnated. Ted Halstead really knows how to write a thriller. Can't wait for more "
