Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2001

In August 1993, Task Force Ranger lands in Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission is to capture warlord Mohamed Aydiid. Tom Daniels and his partner, Cat Randall, both members of First Special Forces Operational Detachment?Delta, spot Aydiid but are not allowed to assassinate him. The next day, during a horrific close quarter battle, Cat is killed and Task Force Ranger is disbanded. Tom is emotionally shattered after years of living on the brink of death, and the loss of his closest friend. He leaves Delta but secretly vows to finish what was started. A year later he receives a letter from Jon Croft, a former army buddy living in Panamá. Tom?s fiancée, Marta, allegedly killed during the invasion of Panamá, may still be alive. Tom and Jon travel deep into the jungles of South America to find out who is hiding Marta and why. Tom unwittingly follows a trail back to Africa and then the U.S. A dying man?s confession eventually leads him to a cloud forest in the mountains of Colombia where he comes face-to-face with his enemy, and the complete truth. What he uncovers is more than he wants to know.

This is a best seller!! Once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. I felt I knew each character due to the descriptions throughout the book. I loved the suspense and surprise ending. The Day of the Ranger was one of the best books I have read in many years. Best of Luck and I look forward to future books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks, October 7, 2002

This review is from: Day of the Ranger (Paperback)

Thanks for the book the Day of the Ranger. It was well written, but more importantly, opened my eyes to things and events I would never have guessed. Besides keeping me on the edge of my seat, it provided me with a tremendous learning experience. Thanks, too, for your patience and diligence answering my questions about the book and educating me about some of the things going on in our world that the layman doesn't always see. Thanks for all you have done for our country, not only you, but all of those who have served our country so diligently

This review is from: Day of the Ranger (Paperback)

I am reading your book right now. I have a feeling that many of the things you write about are really happening right now. I can not even begin to understand what war is like but thank you for putting it in such a language that I might understand a snapshot of what is going on in our world.
