One man can save the government … if they don’t stop him first.

Severin Force was a ghost, until his entire team was wiped out and his existence disavowed.

Ripped, rested, and retired, the former SEAL, Ranger, and Delta operative with the uniquely agreeable personal scent, is yanked back into the shadows to fight a coordinated cyberattack that plunges America into digital darkness.

His mission: track down the seriously whacked domestic troublemakers responsible and end them. And look and smell good doing it.

But the deeper he digs, the blackout is just the beginning. A darker agenda is unfolding. And if Force can’t stop it, the republic will fall. And chaos and whim will waltz in.

Inside you’ll find – Gunplay. Arrow Play. Wordplay. Fatuous Celebrities. Surfing Snipers. Misguided Conspiracies. Assertive Action. Assorted Yucks. And Abundant Quirk.

SUFFICIENT FORCE: Relief from the common thriller.
