'MAJESTIC STORYTELLING ... A TOUR DE FORCE' John Templeton Smith
October 1940: a raiding party of elite soldiers arrives in the
middle of Nazi-occupied France on a deadly mission. But these are
not troops from Britain's new commando units. They are modern-day
Israeli special forces operators armed with sophisticated
21st-century weaponry. Dispatched eight decades into the past by a
genius physicist who stumbled across the secret of time travel,
their task is simple - ambush Adolf Hitler's personal train, kill
everyone on board and change the course of history. Yet, even if
these Israeli soldiers manage to pull off the most extraordinary
commando raid ever conceived, there's no guarantee they'll make it
home again. RIGHTEOUS KILL takes a daring premise and weaves it
into a gripping, action-packed military thriller. It traces the
journey of a few courageous men who step into the ultimate unknown
on a mission to save millions of lives that will otherwise be lost
in the maelstrom of war and the Holocaust. Written by a former
Israeli army officer, RIGHTEOUS KILL is a riveting blend of
authentic military detail and history-altering combat fiction. It's
the perfect fit for fans of Vince Flynn, Andy McNab, Eric Flint,
Harry Turtledove and John Birmingham. *** Ted Lapkin spent the
first half of his childhood in North Carolina before his Jewish
family moved to Israel. He saw active service as a combat
intelligence officer in the Golani Infantry Brigade, fighting with
the brigade's elite recon company during the battle for the
Beaufort Castle.Graduating summa cum laude from Tel Aviv
University, Ted returned to the United States for postgraduate
study and began to work in politics as a
communications/government-relations strategist. While in Washington
D.C., he met an Australian woman whom he later married. Moving to
Melbourne, he began a PHD (never finished) and began to write
political opinion columns for Australian newspapers. Since then he
has written for many publications, including the Spectator, LA
Times and the Sydney Morning Herald, as well as speeches for
members of the US Congress and Australian Government Cabinet
Ministers. He now runs his own consulting firm that advises clients
on strategic communications, reputation management and government
relations.Ted lives with his wife Sharon in the Melbourne inner
suburb of Fitzroy, described by London's Daily Telegraph newspaper
as one of "the world's most 'hipster' neighbourhoods." RIGHTEOUS
KILL is his first novel.
