TOM LOCKE SERIES
If you like Jack Reacher, you will love Tom Locke. Shadow Wars and Deep Black deliver an original and epic take on the future of war, hailed by New York Times bestselling authors and generals alike.
Tom Locke is a rugged and untamed soldier of fortune who still looks polished in an Armani suit. His tactical skills are razor sharp and so is his Ivy League pedigree. A former paratrooper, Locke now chooses his own missions. But he must remain alive to the threats of life as a mercenary. Strap in for a shocking and gritty real world thrill ride into the shadow wars lurking beneath the surface of mainstream global politics, where corporations, banks, and secret societies are the new superpowers, and wars are won through cunning.
