Who polices the world of covert operations? Enter the Cellar, the most
secret spy organization hiding deep within the United States.
Deep in the forests of Kentucky, a girl is held captive.
In Oklahoma, a young preschool teacher is murdered in front of her students.
In the Panhandle of Florida, a college undergrad is kidnapped from a nightclub.
These
seemingly unrelated crimes catch the eye of the Cellar, the ultrasecret
cell of operatives set up to police all other government agencies.
Cellar operatives Gant and Neeley, along with profiler Susan Golden,
must track down those responsible. But these are not ordinary criminals.
They are a highly trained Special Forces sniper team. Crisscrossing the
United States as new Cellar head Hannah Masterson calls the shots from
up high, the Cellar operatives soon find themselves being targeted.
Whoever is behind this knows the ultra top-secret Cellar's tactics all
to well.
Underneath this web of death, deceit, and revenge lies
an even more shocking crime . . . a conspiracy that powerful men will
sacrifice their lives -- and the lives of their families -- to protect.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Chasing the Ghost (Black Ops) by Bob Mayer
Covert operative Horace Chase has been chasing ghosts his entire life.
First,
his Medal-of-Honor winner father who died in Vietnam without ever
meeting his son. And left him the legacy of an automatic appointment to
the Military Academy at West Point which shaped the next thirty-five
years of Chase's life. Then, the ghost of his mother, who died while he
was at war in Afghanistan and wounded, causing him to resign his
commission and return to the United States, a lost soul.
Chase
now wears two hats as a Federal counter-terrorism liaison to the local
police department in Boulder, Colorado where he becomes embroiled in two
seemingly un-related cases. Working as a detective with Boulder PD he
chases another death, this one the apparent rape/murder of Rachel
Stevens, an upscale housewife attending night classes at the University
of Colorado. And with his counter-terrorism team he is embroiled in a
series of killings involving a militia group, a rogue ex-Special Forces
officer, a psychopathic ex-CIA contract mercenary, and ruthless drug
runners.
From the streets of Boulder, to the highest railroad
tunnel in the world, to a swingers club hiding in plain site in
suburbia, Afghanistan starts to look pretty good to Chase.

Jack Woodson was a thermal design engineer for four years until he was

real life experiences. Through a series of emails to Fred Bommerson, his
buddy who still works at Heat Pumps Unlimited, Jack chronicles a
year-in-the-life of a brand new teacher. With subject lines such as

lost leaving behind Angkor Wat.
In 480 BC, King Leonidas leads
300 Spartans to Thermopylae to try to delay the massive Persian Army.
Known only to the King, they have an even more important mission: to
escort and protect a powerful priestess to a mystical gate through which
she can travel to help save the world. It’s a mission for which
Leonidas will gladly sacrifice his own, and his men’s lives.
On
the Nazca Plain in Chile, an old woman has been studying ancient lines
in the ground for decades. Now she finally understands their terrifying
message.
In the present, tremors deep inside the Earth threaten
all civilizations. Eric Dane races against time to find the key to
stopping this assault from the dark Shadow. He must reach across time to
the Spartans and the priestess they escort to find the key to this
defense.
And in doing so, he must travel to the Space Between, the boundary between our world, and the world of the Shadow.
