Synopsis

A patient enemy has already crossed the border.

While the battles overseas continue, a different kind of war is being waged inside the United States — one fought with surveillance, patience, and precision strikes aimed at the mind rather than the body.

Ethan Rourke thought retirement would bring distance from the fight. Instead, he finds himself pulled back in, this time as a civilian trying to develop and field a loitering precision strike system. Working with a small team and a U.S. defense contractor, he battles bureaucracy, competing interests, and the weight of past failures that still haunt him.

But he is not the only one hunting for answers.

Somewhere in the shadows, a methodical adversary has begun a patient study of Ethan’s life — watching, listening, and learning his patterns. What starts as careful observation soon escalates into something far more personal. The enemy is no longer content to study from afar. He is testing weaknesses, removing anchors, and preparing to turn American technology against the very people who built it.

Some threats wear uniforms. Others wear patience like armor.

Book Two of The Precision Strike Trilogy

Written by a retired Special Forces officer with over two decades of experience in the world’s most ambiguous environments.

Perfect for fans of Jack Carr’s The Terminal List, Brad Thor’s Scot Harvath series, and the technical realism of Tom Clancy.
