Produktbeschreibung

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 cliche 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.

Autorenporträt

"Fresh and different is the best way to describe Henry Brown¿s writing. From the tough-guy military fiction of Hell & Gone to the delightfully satirical superheroes of The Greater Good, you¿ll find something completely different in Mr. Brown¿s work." - conservativefiction.com I've always been an action-adventure guy. Normal, well-adjusted people may have grown too mature for movies like Star Wars or The Road Warrior; or fictional heroes like Conan, Tarzan or Mack Bolan. Well, that stuff left a permanent mark on me. So much for being normal and well-adjusted! My own real-life adventure began as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, at 18 years old. OK, maybe it wasn't such a great adventure, but I'm proud to have served my country, and in an elite unit with such battlefield distinctions. My military escapades eventually led me through experiences in other corners of the US Army, as well as the USMC and Naval Reserve. My travels in life have taken me to the Caribbean; Central America; the Middle East; Alaska; Hawaii and all over the USA. I've traveled on trains, planes, automobiles, helicopters and ocean-going vessels. I've been trained in the use of rifles; bayonets; hand grenades; automatic rifles; machineguns; grenade launchers; anti-tank rockets and missiles. I even got to play with artillery and tanks. I also had plenty of opportunity to observe the behavior of my fellow human beings at their best and worst. My debut novel, Hell and Gone, is a deliberate throwback to commando tales of yesteryear like The Dirty Dozen. While working on my next novel (the sequel, Tier Zero--a deliberate throwback to the golden age of men's adventure), I released some shorter tales...pulp fiction, you could call it...in other genres that tickle my fancy.
