Spy Mates
Operation Ace in the Hole
​
After 20 years working for the U.S. Army Research Center, Bret Lee, a 44-year old chemical engineer, retires to look for work in private industry, only to learn that in the tough 2010 economy, he's unable to find a job. But thanks to a quasi-government contact from his past, he's offered high-paying employment at a Venezuelan fertilizer plant just outside Caracas. There's only one catch: he has to become a spy.
Bret and his Chinese wife, Chu-Lin, accept the challenge and become enmeshed in the military, political and diplomatic aspects of life within the most dangerous city of the world. With help from the local CIA, Lee uncovers an international plot that could throw Latin America into turmoil, and that could strangle strategic oil shipments to the U.S.

The Demise of ISIS
​
Citizens of the world worry about ISIS and that brutal terror group's very real threat to their own homeland. They also fret over the tragic loss of life during the ongoing civil war in Syria. This book takes you into the midst of both of these struggles through the eyes and experience of a kidnapped American college professor who faces death as an Islamic State captive. Will the U.S. government ransom him? Exchange him for a captured ISIS terrorist? Rescue him via military strike? Could international espionage spawn the demise of ISIS?
Compellingly written, this narrative is a bold cocktail of geopolitics, Washington intelligence, military decisions and the emotion that ties it all together.
