The Powder War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492781769)

This action packed thriller takes place in the violent world of drug cartels and street gangs. The US government is in a desperate struggle to stop the influx of drugs, and is rapidly losing ground to the number-one threat to the American way of life. As the story unfolds in the streets of America, the cartel will stop at nothing to get what they want. In desperation, the CIA and FBI turn to a lethal security firm called IPS that consists of former Navy SEALs. Gordon McNeill's company takes on the assignment to find a security leak that is crippling the nation's effort to combat drugs. He has also been ordered to eliminate Shorty Perez, the leader of the most powerful drug cartel in the world. Shorty is smart and imaginative, and his ability to elude capture has enabled him to become the leader of the largest drug organization in the world. As the two organizations square off, Perez uses the most violent street gang in the world and Mexican criminals to attack his adversary as the SEALs chase the drug lord across Mexico. Gordon's men must fight through US and Mexican corruption, political incompetence, and unrestrained violence in order to prevail in this deadly struggle. This story is the work of fiction, but was inspired by real world events.
