The series begins with CROSS TARGET (Book #1).Former Special Forces soldier Connor Cross rescues key individuals from the most dangerous places in the world, when the U.S. government needs it handled discreetly and unofficially. But when the missions become something much bigger, affecting the very world's stability, Connor must wonder: is he a pawn in a much bigger game of chess?In CROSS FIRE (Book #2), when a routine maritime security assignment turns into a brutal pirate boarding, Connor Cross finds himself in a race to recover stolen intelligence before it's handed off to the wrong hands.

I can hardly wait for the sequel."--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
