An Al Qaeda cell embedded in the region is exploiting a government program as a disguise for a deadly operation. Steve and Edie come face-to-face with a terrifying terrorist plot headed by the same jihadists whose actions three years ago radically changed both their lives forever. Although they cannot comprehend the rationale for such a plan, Steve and Edie have literally run out of time.TERRIBLE SWIFT SWORD is the second book in a thriller saga, The Amber Restrained Series. The series chronicles the escapades of two disparate individuals, Steve Casella and Edie Pauling, who surmount their differences and form an interminable bond that takes them on a journey to fight the injustices assailing the American dream. Together they challenge the seemingly unending barrage of incompetence and corruption that is ignored, facilitated, or orchestrated by the almost invincible power structure of an encroaching government. Along for the ride is Amber, a dog Steve has rescued from a fatal house fire. The sometimes disobedient canine companion is a constant source of frustration and amusement, but as part of their team, no one is more capable to assist when times get rough. As the nation and the world gather at the brink of extinction, Steve and Edie desperately try to gain traction against the slippery slope toward ultimate destruction.
