Following the brutal murders of his family members, a toughened Marine uncovers a plot to hijack a military laser weapons system. First Lieutenant Nick Gallaher soon discovers that several top Department of Defense research scientists, his father included, were killed as part of an elaborate scheme to take possession of the game-changing submarine and satellite-based laser system, codenamed Crossfire. Crossfire is a modern-day international espionage thriller that follows Gallaher at breakneck speed as he investigates and then becomes emboldened to stop the international black-market scheme. It employs the latest in military technology from intense cat-and-mouse nuclear-powered submarine chases beneath the ocean waves, to turbulent jet fighter skirmishes in the sky, to Cape Canaveral rocket launches and space-based satellite flight deviations. Intrigue, excitement and adventure fill the pages of the novel! Strong pacing and an enjoyable storyline. --- Online Book Club This is one of those books that keep you up all night! --- Bill Samson This is a great read! I give it five stars. I'm looking forward to his next book. --- David Leuttgen Fans of Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher, John Wick or James Bond will be especially intrigued by Valletta's protagonist, United States Marine First Lieutenant Nick Gallaher. The storyline is backed by highly detailed and well-researched descriptions of current and near-future military hardware and space-based technologies. It has the feel of a near-future science fiction military adventure mixed with the impact of today's impending economic, social, and political news headlines.
