One man can save the government … if they don’t stop him first.
Just Released
Severin Force shouldn’t have answered the phone. But like a dummy, excuse me, patriot, he did.
It’s the morning after the election. The Vice President is missing. And the newly re-upped President wants Force to find her. Before the country notices.
Powerless to refuse a presidential SOS, Force reluctantly bags his thriving military consulting business and wades back into the domestic troublemaker muck. All the while smelling uniquely agreeable.
All well and good. But as the government seizes up, the body count mounts, and the president really gets the meaning of the phrase, ‘big ask,’ Force wonders who he can trust, who he can taze, and who he can terminate.
In this one you’ll find – Teamwork. Solo Work. Wet Work. Some Blue Oyster Cult. Airborne Paco Rabanne. Big, Very Bad Bunnies. A Group called SMEGNA. Commanding Action. Compound Yucks. And Copious Quirk.

What Reviewers are saying
Reminiscent of David Foster Wallace’s or William Gaddis’ work.
Romance, humor, betrayal and intense missions.
The protagonist is interesting and the writing darkly funny.
I highly recommend this book if you have a twisted little sense of humor.
A fast-paced spy thriller.
