Kidnapped Nation

Beschreibung

Will the people elect the status quo? Or is a major presidential upset in the wind? The election is days away and tensions are running high. The armed takeover of a remote Oregon wildlife refuge takes center stage in the news, and candidate Bradley Graham goes to meet with the protesters . . . against advice. When Graham is kidnapped, Lynch Cully, the urban ex-detective, finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Can he hold his own where there are no streets, no city lights, no backup? Meanwhile, life takes an unexpected turn for Amy Gibbs, RN, and her fiancé Richard Nichols. Working in Washington, D.C., he is offered the real estate deal of a lifetime . . . if he ignores the suicide that took place in the house. Or was it? Still in St. Louis, Amy's curiosity foils a major terrorist plot, saving thousands of lives . . . except one.

Autor

Braxton can't lay claim to wanting to be a writer all his life, although his mother and seventh grade English teacher were convinced he had what it would take. A bachelor's degree in Bio-Medical Engineering led to medical school and a residency in Emergency Medicine. He served for a decade in the U.S. Army Medical Corps with tours such as the Chief, Emergency Medical Services at Fort Campbell, KY, and as a research Flight Surgeon at Fort Rucker, AL. Who had time to write?By the 1990s, as a civilian, his professional and family life had settled down, somewhat, and his mother once again took up her mantra, "Write a book. You're a good writer." In 1997, a Valentine's Day writing contest convinced him that maybe he could write fiction. He spent the next fifteen years learning the craft of writing. Now, twenty-plus years after that first hesitant start, he has sixteen novels published, as well as non-fiction books and a children's book, and can't find enough time to write. As a Christian, he writes "true-life" Christian fiction (suspense and thrillers) that many call "cutting edge," as he's not afraid to take on such issues as human trafficking, racism, and more. His characters are real-life as well, with all the flaws and blemishes real people have. As such, his books are never likely to gain acceptance by the Christian Bookseller Association. But then, he never intended to tell stories just to the choir.
