Off the shore of Costa Rica, the Navy command ship USS Coronado launches an all-out assault against one of the most powerful drug lords in Central America. The strike force is in position; the Blackhawks are armed and airborne, and the high-tech fist of the U.S. military is poised to come down like a sledgehammer. Everything is going according to plan until the quiet jungle erupts in a chaos of blood, shrapnel, and fire.
When CIA Operative Rick Holden and Naval Intelligence Officer Laura Peters begin investigating the circumstances of the ambush, they uncover something much more sinister than a failed military operation. There’s a conspiracy at the very heart of the American government.
And bringing down the President of the United States is only the first step…

George Galdorisi’s recent New York Times’ best seller, The Coronado Conspiracy, has placed him among the most elite authors of suspenseful military fiction, including Tom Clancy. Perhaps he is even better. In contrast to Clancy’s non-military background, CAPT George Galdorisi’s 30-year career as a former naval aviator, including several senior command tours, has given him the unique ability to describe, with exceptional authenticity, the military culture and the varied military organizations, operations (on land, sea and in the air), platforms, weapons and jargon, all woven into a highly intricate, suspenseful and well-written military thriller. In addition to military operations, the book delves imaginatively into the delicate political topics of civil-military affairs, hard-ball politics and, eerily prescient, presidential impeachment. Among other things, this book, the first in a 3-book series, introduces an undercover CIA operative, Rick Holden, stationed as a Navy SEAL on the USS Coronado, a Navy Task Force flagship tasked to fight in our nation’s war on drugs. With my reading lamp staying lit long into the night, I can’t wait to finish George Galdorisi’s second novel of the Rick Holden series, For Duty and Honor.
