Tango Six: A Screenplay
The year is 1940. Hitler's forces have pressed into Belgium with Britain as the ultimate target. America has not yet officially entered the struggle.
But when the enigmatic Nazi leader known as The Baron captures an American scientist - a man with a secret to a weapon so powerful it would ensure global victory for the Nazis - a hasty rescue mission is launched through a clandestine team-up of six elite British and American special forces soldiers. Code Tango Six.
Holding critical information thanks to his recent escape from The Baron's stronghold of Dominus Castle, young British Air Force pilot Nigel Pennington is reluctantly pressed into joining the eclectic band of soldiers. When everything that could go wrong does, can Nigel keep the Americans and Brits from killing each other long enough to save the world?
Brimming with unforgettable characters and imbued with the same brand of adventurous fun as the Indiana Jones film series, Tango Six will rivet you with suspense, laughter and fist-pumping action.

Reread April 2025. I admit, I’m a sucker for this author—he’s not only a talented writer but also an amazing bartender! His screenplay Tango Sixis just as fun as I remember. I love how I can picture all the characters so vividly, and Romeo is still my favorite!
Tango Six was the first screenplay I ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! What a rollicking good time - it reminded me of Indiana Jones and other adventure movies of the 1980s.
