Rogue Queen
Battle for Nigeria…
How does a navy-for-hire invade the world’s seventh largest nation?
By occupying its major river artery, conducting asymmetric warfare against its Fulani terrorists, and defying its corrupt government to stop them.
Hunted by an old enemy, trapped upriver with no route of escape, the mercenaries must invent entirely new rules of naval warfare to survive. With hundreds of innocent lives hanging in the balance, can former U.S. naval officer Jake Slate pull off the impossible?

Captives free. A forest burning. Mission accomplished.
Roque Queen concludes the mission in Nigeria, that began with Rogue Poseidon. So, yes, you need both books in order to fully assimilate this amazingly structured narrative of combat, the progression of character development in the main actors, a unique location (set in Nigeria), and Nigerian citizens and military working either towards supporting the mission and/or raining destruction down upon it.
The main focal point is on Danielle Sutton, commander of the Xerses. At the same time, Jake Slate finds himself stranded on land and engaged in a conflict with a rebel force that has been inflicting death and destruction on the citizens of Nigeria, and where the military seems to be in collusion with the rebels. When the rebels kidnap 15 girls from a school, and employ them as human shields, it is no longer a mission to provide protection for civilians by using weapons that will possibly cause civilian deaths in spite of every precaution taken to avoid just that. Now the rebels have been emboldened by knowing that their mercenary enemies have been taken out of play.
Jake, used to commanding a submarine and combating opponents at long range using torpedoes and rail guns, finds himself struggling with the reality of killing enemies at point blank range with hand weapons. He has accepted that he likely will die on this mission, but to die is to fail to free the captives whose lives depend on his actions.
Having guided the reader this far into seeing the main characters taken to the brink of no longer having a clear understanding of just what is right, and what is wrong, Monteith brings us again to the Niger River, and a confrontation between Danielle Sutton and overwhelming Nigerian military forces that have her surrounded and under their guns.
