The Savage Desert: A Thriller

Hidden in the mountains, a rogue group threatens the world.

Ronan Carver is about to embark on his first official mission in years. He’s been tasked with traveling to the remote town of Osprey, New Mexico. His objective is to find a missing CIA analyst. A man holding valuable information that could put some very bad people behind bars.

He assumes the stakes are going to be high. But he doesn’t know the half of it. As the assignment spirals out of control and the deaths pile up, Carver realizes the entire fate of the planet might be in the balance.

And only he has the chance to save it.

uh-oh, Carver’s in the thick of it again

Carver’s hiatus, consisting of chores around home, comes to an abrupt end when a Homeland Security agent appears with a new assignment.

New Mexico in the heat.

A real " MAN,'s" series

All action, heroics, and chaos.
Clearly made for tv or movie action series.
I would wish for more depth to the characters, but I guess that will be up to casting.

A Flight For Ronan Carver

A thrilling, unsettling novel of corruption at the highest levels. The Savage Desert is a provocative story that hopefully won't become reality.
