Retreads

When a bloodthirsty jihadist is given a nuclear weapon and a chance to forever alienate Israel from American support, all hope rides on thirteen expendable SpecOps veterans almost as insane as the suicidal plan they're given to stop him. This rag-tag gang of has-beens has never worked together before, but Dwight "Rocco" Cavarra has less than a week to train them and lead them on the hairiest operation of their lives. It's not bad enough that they have to plow through an African civil war, infiltrate a fortified terrorist encampment and steal a black market tactical nuke from a mob of fanatic sociopaths - there are Israeli wild cards in play: two death-dealing Mossad agents who don't necessarily share Cavarra's agenda. When the mission is compromised before it has even started, Rocco and his Retreads are caught between bloodthirsty local warlords and the genocidal government in a fight to the death. And this battle might be just the first in the next world war.

A relentless action thriller from bestselling author Henry Brown. “You can take a man out of special operations, but you can't take SpecOps out of the man." That's a cliché you might hear in elite military circles. It has many connotations-among them is the idea is that operators have become members of an unofficial brotherhood which lasts a lifetime, including civilian life. Years after the covert Sudan mission that forged just such a brotherhood among "Rocco's Retreads," Tommy Scarred Wolf's biological family falls into a predicament so severe that it's going to require the combined skills of his adopted SpecOps family to give him even a puncher's chance to rescue them. Older and slower, but no less loyal to their warrior-brother, the Retreads answer the call: Former SEAL commander Dwight "Rocco" Cavarra; Delta Force veteran Jake McCallum; and unflapable sniper Leon Campbell. Joining the team are Tommy's son, Gunther, and Tommy's old buddy from Special Forces, Josh Rennenkampf. Arrayed against the Retreads are modern day pirates, human traffickers, and a secret black ops team of killers orchestrating nasty (and deadly) surprises in the shadows. There's something far more sinister than just "white slavery" going on here, and it's about to ram these men through a crucible which will test their mettle...as well as their loyalty to each other. Whether in military fiction like Hell and Gone, or pulp throwback men's adventure like Tier Zero, the Retreads bring smoke and take names.

The Retreads Series turns the corner from military thriller to apocalyptic fiction with this third no-holds-barred paramilitary adventure. "If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." -Samuel Adams. A perfect storm is bearing down on the United States of America, combining nationwide financial devastation, conventional and nuclear terror, and military catastrophe. Diverse Americans are living their lives the best they can during twilight's last gleaming-most of them never suspecting the turmoil about to come crashing down all around them. Others see the storm approaching, but don't know what, ifanything, can be done to avoid it. Joshua Rennenkampf loves his country, but prepares for an economic collapse he believes inevitable. Dwight Cavarra is horrified by what looks like an impending race war, but speaking reason into the pressure cooker of irrational hatred might as well be punching at the wind. Tommy Scarred Wolf pushes back against the fundamental transformation from Rule of Law to a Strong Man police state, but can only accomplish so much by himself. Rennenkampf discovers evidence of what might be a false flag attack in the making. Cavarra is tipped off about a secret hit list of "potential domestic terrorists," through which he and his friends are targeted. Scarred Wolf has already lost his brother for the sin of poking his nose into government Black Ops; and now must decide whether a little more temporary tranquility for his family is worth the shock and awe to be wrought on the entire country if he fails to take action. With harbingers of civil war and any number of other national cataclysms brewing, there will be no averting disaster if the false flag conspiracy turns out to be true. These men, who have put their lives on the line for their country, so many times already, now have little choice but to treat the threat as real. And, in the tumultuous political climate, their lives, fortunes and sacred honor will all be at risk. False Flag blazes a fiery trail where other political books fear to tread.
