Inspired by actual events, "Ultimate Betrayal" is a thriller that
takes the reader on an action-packed, adrenaline-boosting ride,
from the streets of South Philadelphia, through the Afghanistan
War, to Mafia drug smuggling, to the halls of power at the CIA and
the White House. David Hood comes from the streets of South
Philadelphia, is a decorated Afghanistan War hero, builds a highly
successful business, marries the woman of his dreams, and has two
children he adores. But there are two ghosts in David's past. One
is the guilt he carries over the death of his brother. The other is
a specter that will do anything to murder him. David has long lost
the belief that good will triumph over evil. The deaths of his wife
and children only reinforce that cynicism. And leave him with
nothing but a bone-chilling, all-consuming need for revenge.

With "The Lone Wolf Agenda," Joseph Badal returns to the world of
international espionage and military action thrillers and crafts a
story that is as close to the real world of spies and soldiers as a
reader can find. This fourth book in the Danforth Saga brings Bob
Danforth out of retirement to hunt down lone wolf terrorists hell
bent on destroying America's oil infrastructure. Badal weaves just
enough technology into his story to wow even the most a-technical
reader. "The Lone Wolf Agenda" pairs Danforth with his son Michael,
a senior DELTA Force officer, as they combat an OPEC-supported
terrorist group allied with a Mexican drug cartel. This story is an
epic adventure that will chill readers as they discover that
nothing, no matter how diabolical, is impossible.
"Shell Game is a financial thriller using the economic environment
created by the capital markets meltdown that began in 2007 as the
backdrop for a timely, dramatic, and hair-raising tale. Joseph
Badal weaves an intricate and realistic story about how a family
and its business are put into jeopardy through heavy-handed,
arbitrary rules set down by federal banking regulators, and by the
actions of a sociopath in league with a corrupt bank regulator.
Like all of Badal's novels, "Shell Game" takes the reader on a
roller coaster ride of action and intrigue carried on the shoulders
of believable, often diabolical characters. Although a work of
fiction, "Shell Game," through its protagonist Edward Winter,
provides an understandable explanation of one of the main reasons
the U.S. economy continues to languish. It is a commentary on what
heavy-handed federal regulators are doing to the United States
banking community today and, as a result, the damage they are
inflicting on perfectly sound businesses and private investors
across the country and on the overall U.S. economy. "Shell Game" is
inspired by actual events that have taken place as a result of poor
governmental leadership and oversight, greed, corruption,
stupidity, and badly conceived regulatory actions. You may be
inclined to find it hard to believe what happens in this novel to
both banks and bank borrowers. I encourage you to keep an open
mind. "Shell Game" is a work of fiction that supports the old
adage: You don't need to make this stuff up.
"Evil Deeds" is the first book in the Bob Danforth series, which
includes "Terror Cell" and "The Nostradamus Secret." The reader can
follow the lives of Bob & Liz Danforth, and of their son,
Michael, from 1971 through 2011. "Evil Deeds" begins on a sunny
spring day in 1971 in a quiet Athenian suburb. Bob & Liz
Danforth's morning begins just like every other morning: Breakfast
together, Bob roughhousing with Michael. Then Bob leaves for his
U.S. Army unit and the nightmare begins. A rebel Gypsy band abducts
Michael and spirits him to Bulgaria. So begins a twenty-eight-year
journey that takes the Danforth family from Michael's kidnapping
and Bob and Liz's efforts to rescue him, to Bob's forced separation
from the Army because of his unauthorized entry into Bulgaria, to
his recruitment by the CIA, to Michael's commissioning in the Army,
to Michael's capture by a Serb SPETSNAZ team in Macedonia, and to
Michael's eventual marriage tothe daughter of the Gypsy who
kidnapped him as a child. It is the stops along the journey that
weave an intricate series of heart-stopping events built around
complex, often diabolical characters. The readerexperiences CIA
espionage during the Balkans War, attempted assassinations in the
United States, and the grisly exploits of a psychopathic killer.
"Evil Deeds" is an adrenaline-boosting story about revenge, love,
and the triumph of good over evil.
Hired killers. Vigilantes. Executioners. Paid killers or
assassins working from a moral or political motivation. You'll find
them all in this thrilling anthology. But these are not ordinary
killers, not your run-of-the-mill hitmen. The emphasis is on the
"uncommon" here-unusual characters, unusual situations, and
especially unusual means of killing.
Here are tales by some of the best suspense/thriller writers
today, including F. Paul Wilson, Ken Bruen, J. Carson Black, Billie
Sue Mosiman, Laura DiSilverio, and 18 others. The stories range
from historical fiction to science fiction to political
thriller-there's even an alternate history story in the mix.
"Uncommon Assassins is a nicely put together anthology and
there's something to love for crime and mystery fans alike. As with
any good anthology, you'll probably discover a new author that
you'll want to add to your to-be-read list, and also some stories
from some old favourites." -- Crime Fiction Lover Stephen England -
