Synopsis

Blood & Roses is a tale of unspeakable acts of murder, misguided religious fervor and abject avoidance of anything human. A joint services Anti-Terrorist Special Operations Unit is ruthlessly slaughtered in the endless wild forests of Gray's Harbor County, Washington. The only calling card left behind by some murderous hoard is a wreath of blood-stained white roses next to the shredded remains of Yankee heroes! A Deputy Sheriff with an interesting history is asked by the Navy Judge Advocate General's Office, with permission from the Penatagon, to handle the investigation. He, along with fellow law enforcement and military specialists, chase shadows from coast to coast. A virtual quagmire of wild-goose-chases; false leeds, miss-information, miss-direction, attempts on thier lives, close calls, near misses and outright blackmail leads to the formation of a super-secret unit. Working surepticiously for the CIA, the Tyche Factor (Tyche - Greek and Roman mythological term for 'luck') follows fantical fundamentalist Islamic Jihadists from the waters of the Willapa Bay, Washington, to the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, to the Pasayten Wilderness back in Washington State, to Canada, and to Puget Sound. Eventually, the Factor uncovers a diabolical sceme to kill our President; the Prime Minister of Canada, two pro football teams, and some 70,000 fans at the Universtiy of Washington. In the process, a SEAL Vice Admiral's daughter, a Navy Lieutenant Commander and Tyche Factor member, is kidnapped by al-Quada mujahideens. The story then takes the Tyche Factor into the fires of hell going after their fellow unit agent. This is a tale of exactly how the shadow world of field operations Intelligence assets function. It ain't pretty; however, it is pretty accurate.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

C. Edward Samuels: FACTION: Fiction wrapped in fact. Fact: Evil exists on planet Earth and must be constantly fought. Fiction: We can fight it alone! All of us are fighters, but we often need someone in our corner. The author is a veteran of over thirty years in this struggle. Special Agent, Military Intelligence; Police Detective; Protective Service Team Supervisor and Federal Police Chief all can be found in his resume. Polygraph Examiner; PADI Master SCUBA Instructor and Secret Service certified Small Arms Instructor adds method to his madness - Vietnam Vet adds a degree of madness to his method. A formal education to the PhD Candidate level contributes less to his legitimacy than does his life experience. "My stories are intended to be an entertaining way of facing some of the shocking actualities of life on this third rock from the sun. I write about real good guys and gals: exemplary crime fighters that I have known. These are my heroes. I do not use their actual names simply because not one of them wants notoriety. " Expect some coarse language, some base street humor, and both liberal and conservative viewpoints on many topics. "I have not attempted to create the great American novel. My stories are meant to entertain, while stirring reminders of duties intrinsic in this life -responsibility for your actions; give more than you take, live, laugh, love your heart out! C. Edward Samuels
