About the author
David Alexander
55 books13 followersDavid Alexander began writing early in life and began writing uncoaxed and spontaneously. His fledgling appearance in print dates to a sonnet published in a New York City daily newspaper when David was in elementary school in Brooklyn. Between then and today, he has written and published in virtually every literary category, including novels, novelettes, short fiction, poetry, essays and film scripts. He received his early education via the New York City public school system. He later attended Columbia University in New York City and Sorbonne University in Paris, France.
In addition to fiction and creative nonfiction, Alexander has written technical papers as a defense analyst for some of the world's most prestigious international defense publications on high-technology combat systems and their strategic and tactical applications. He is as conversant with the global corporate and civilian defense sector as he is with the military side. Few can justly claim the scope and breadth of his knowledge of and familiarity with the international defense community, ranging from weapon systems to global strategic policy.
As an author, Alexander can justly claim to have pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. Never has he benefited from anybody's patronage. There have been no wealthy relatives with connections, no connections by marriage; no favors traded in secret, no hooked-up friends to fast-track his career. Nor has anybody but David Alexander penned the titles published over David Alexander's byline. Alexander is a resident of Brooklyn Heights, where he has lived and written for many years.

Before I start the review, I just got to say that the Gold Eagle library is almost always about stomping out terrorists. Fighting them tooth and nail. So when I read this book, set in 2035, I had to laugh at the choice of naming the organizations for counterterrorism. It's called IS. Yes IS. I quess Mr. Alexander didn't have the foresight in 1993 to see that one coming.
A crazed religious fanatic goes back in time to team up with Saddam Hussein to try to win Dessert Storm with future weapons. Nomad, our hero goes back to try to stop him. At 348 pages, this book lags at points. The action is at a brisk pace. If you like time travel fiction, this might be for you.
