One Down

by J. Thomas Rompel

A seductive Syrian arms dealer turns a U.S. congressman. America is being attacked. Will an aging entrepreneur and a retired Delta Force colonel go outside the law to try and save American lives?

Carter Thompson gets an urgent call from his friend, retired Delta Force Colonel Doug Redman. The colonel wants Carter and the team to meet right that afternoon. It's been a year since the unsettling events and he's settled back into his normal pace of life.
An alarmed Carter Thompson has no answers; only questions. Are the authorities onto them? Has their secret been compromised? Does he need to call his lawyer? What if Kim, his fiancé finds out he'd lied about his disappearance last year? Or could this be something else?
