Jim Hammer

Some men retire from war, Jim Hammer just changed battlefields.After twenty years in Army Special Operations, Jim Hammer thought he'd come home to Logan County, Montana, leaving the blood and betrayal behind. But when a friend is gunned down on a hunting trip by thugs operating under federal protection, he can't walk away. War has followed him home.On the opening day of antelope season, the county becomes ground zero in a clash between Hammer's old friends and Sunrise Land Holdings, a shadowy outfit with deep pockets and deeper secrets. The group has seized a remote stretch of once-open land, and when the ATF muscles out the local sheriff, Hammer smells corruption…and starts digging.With help from Lauren Stahling-the tough, resourceful county assessor from his complicated past-and a few loyal allies, Hammer uncovers a conspiracy stretching from Montana's rangeland to McLean, Virginia, and a former CIA black site outside Washington, D.C. At its core: Hambledon Global Advocacy Group, a counterfeit NGO masking a sex-trafficking cartel shielded by federal agents and a powerful U.S. senator. When the rules are written by monsters, justice demands a hunter willing to go off the books. That hunter is Jim Hammer.With blood spilled on both sides and innocent lives at stake, Hammer is headed for a showdown in the heart of darkness. When the mastermind-playboy sheikh and human trafficker Hamad bin-Sharia-arrives on U.S. soil, Hammer has one shot to end it all.

Paradise was supposed to be a break from the battlefield. But war has followed Jim Hammer to Hawai'i.After taking down an international human trafficking ring and dismantling a rogue arms-smuggling operation linked to the Taliban, Jim Hammer and Lauren Stahling escape to the remote beauty of Kaua'i. It's meant to be rest, recovery-maybe even redemption. But when their flight is nearly hijacked over Pearl Harbor, vacation turns into a mission.On the island's untamed North Shore, a forgotten 19th-century journal leads them to ancient ruins hidden deep in the mountains. What begins as a search for lost history spirals into something far darker-a chilling 1940s murder, a hidden electronic warfare facility, and whispers of an impending nuclear deception that could trigger global catastrophe.As Hammer and Lauren navigate wild cliffs, haunted legends, and military secrets, they find themselves alone against a new enemy-one hidden in the jungles of the Nāpali Coast and the shadows of world power.And when the ghosts of the past rise alongside the threats of the present, only one question remains: Will they stop the war before it begins? Or vanish into legend like the armies before them?
