At the height of the 1967 Six Day War between Israel and her Arab neighbors, the U.S. navy intelligence-gathering ship, USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli air and naval forces, killing or wounding two-thirds of the crew. Israel declared the attack was accidental, but survivor Petty Officer Ben Coulter has proof that the attack was deliberate. Why would Israel attack a ship of its only ally in the Middle East? Coulter teams up with marine Lt. Col. Thomas Jackson and marine Sergeant Stefan Varek to learn the truth behind the attack. Joined by Coulter's half- sister, Rachel Horowitz, and Angela Horvath, a shipmate's widow, and assisted by a shadowy officer from NSA, they peel back the layers of deception until they discover the terrifying truth. Then they must deal with the consequences of revealing what they have learned. Set against the backdrop of a real-life military controversy, this thrilling novel exposes the evils of placing a political agenda ahead of truth, honor, and justice.

Robert Bruce Drynan served in Germany as linguist for the Army Security Agency during the height of the Cold War in a mission similar to that of the USS Liberty. What Price Liberty seethes with anger at politicians and shadowy bureaucrats who cynically exploit the sacrifices of American servicemen and women for personal advancement or private gain. In his international business career Drynan lived over twenty years in Europe and South America. He has traveled extensively in the USSR and its satellites, North Africa and the Middle East, as well as, the Americas and Asia. Retired from the business world, he is also the author of the novel Domain of the Scorpion. He comments, "The thriller genre permits me to describe real places and events, highlighting the bright side and the dark side of human nature; the noble and the grotesque. My stories contain romance. I've lived a love story for more than forty years." Today he and his wife live in Mexico where he is working on his third novel.
