GOLD MEDAL WINNER MYSTERY/THRILLER – MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA
Synopsis
From a veteran of the political wars waged inside the U.S. government comes the story of a revenge-fueled terrorist determined to destroy America and the only man who can stop him.
An anonymous attacker known only by his alias Terror’s Sword is heading for the U.S. with an unidentified biological weapon. His mission: erase America from existence.
When agencies fail to identify the terrorist and the lethal bioagent, the president taps elite agent Kyle McEwan to hunt down the mastermind and neutralize his threat. McEwan is the highly classified, off-the-books option that presidents unleash when traditional agencies and officials cannot eliminate existential threats.
Tracking the terrorist across multiple continents, McEwan and U.S. special operations forces execute daring raids that uncover crucial evidence exposing the terrorist and his bioweapon. Despite these discoveries, biomedical scientists conclude that the highly contagious bioagent cannot be counteracted.
As the biological attack looms, McEwan must battle both ruthless sleeper cells and obstructive deep-state factions that impede his search. If he fails, the contagion’s release will trigger a pandemic imperiling humanity.
With the two deadly forces hurtling toward each other, global survival rests on McEwan’s shoulders. Who will triumph?
Terror’s Sword takes readers inside authentic military, intelligence, and law enforcement operations that echo real-world threats and government responses. It lays bare political corruption and accurately describes presidential decisions that impact McEwan’s mission.
Kyle McEwan follows in the footsteps of Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Thor’s Scot Harvath, Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, and Flynn's Mitch Rapp. Fans of these iconic characters will find McEwan’s action-packed pursuits electrifying.
