Veteran Border Patrol Agent Kelly Smith has seen a lot throughout his career, taking down multi-million dollar cartels in Latin American countries and losing his family to the Colombian cartels because of it. But life will just not leave him alone. Discovering an even larger conspiracy to attack the U.S. border with a grandiose and militarized plan, Kelly is forced into another fight that has far-ranging consequences for U.S. border security. -- a breach on the US/Mexican border in a way that had never been thought of before. Kelly's nemesis from the past re-emerges to bring more havoc and mayhem to his life and the Southern Border. Along with his his partner and best friend (Ruben Garcia) and the new love of his life (Cristina Chavez) Kelly goes about taking on the biggest and most dangerous challenge of his life. His new love, a beautiful and feisty Latina, will not be held back in her determination to extract revenge for the vicious past this group has also put upon her. Caught in a web of power and corruption, the trio moves ahead undaunted in tackling an impossible, ruthless, and lethal foe. Herrick's style beautifully blends action and suspense with just the right touch of romance and humor to bring his story to life from the point of view of a real-life Border Agent who has seen it all. He brilliantly conveys his understanding of how the Border shared by the United States and Mexico could easily become the flashpoint of a disturbing and dark reality if the situation there remains unchecked.

Jim Herrick is a retired 25-year veteran of the U.S. Border Patrol. He recently completed a tour in Afghanistan as a contractor for the Department of State/CBP as a mentor to Afghan Border and Customs Police advising on border security operations. He has a "Secret" security clearance and has been actively involved in a broad spectrum of border and security operations including anti-terrorism, tracking and surveillance, weapons and canine handling, and the investigation and apprehension of aliens and contraband that enter the U.S. illegally. Jim's acquired knowledge and experience give him keen insights into the possible scenarios that can occur when you put powerful, callous, and violent drug cartels together with corrupt foreign military powers and governments, a permissive and ineffectual Mexican buffer, and a weak U.S. border. His creative imagination gives us an insider's peek into major events that are just waiting to happen, often based on real people and events that have "almost" happened. Still active as a border and security consultant, Jim now lives in New Mexico with his family.
