About this ebook

They call him Gargoyle. He's U.S. Navy Reserve Lieutenant Commander James Robert “Bob” Morgan. A past special mission cost him an eye; now, he's a CIA analyst working at Langley.

His life is quiet. Until it isn't.
Somebody is supplying heavy weapons to insurgents in Mali, and Allied counter-terrorist assets are the target. When Morgan's close friend is killed in an ambush, he volunteers to find the source of the weapons and stop the atrocities before more American and Allied lives are lost.
But Morgan isn’t working alone. With the aid of an advanced prosthetic eye, he takes to the field with the best of the best. A lovely MI-6 operative, a motley crew of hard-core naval special operators, and the deadliest gadgets the CIA can produce. The trail of intrigue and deception leads to a charismatic CEO and his beautiful daughter, who sit at the top end of a global criminal organization.


Not even Morgan is prepared for the scope of their ultimate goal, which will reshape the world order if he can’t stop them.

​I have at last finished this book, and it was a solid 4-star read. It is very much in line with a James Bond type of character, though perhaps not quite as suave as 007 himself—which actually worked for the story. The book had everything you’d want in an action adventure: fast cars, guns, pretty women, and antagonists that really helped the story flow. ​One thing to note is that the author certainly knows his stuff when it comes to the technical side. There was a fair amount of military jargon that someone in or fresh out of the forces would get immediately. For me, it was a bit over my head at times, but that isn't to say it wasn't needed; it gave the book a lot of authenticity. If you like high-stakes action, definitely give this one a go.

Couldn't finish the first chapter. It reads as if written by an adolescent teenager. Brave all American servicemen, everyone of whom has a nickname, on a covert mission. Utter American propaganda aimed at Impressionable young boys.

Some language and spelling mistakes, which was frustrating. Story line good.
