Description
Afghanistan veteran Jim Chapel has been enlisted in a new war.
This time it's in his own backyard . . . and even more deadly.
A small band of fugitives escapes from a secret upstate New York military facility, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake. Each fugitive has a target—an innocent civilian—and will not stop until that target has been eliminated.
Wounded Special Forces veteran Jim Chapel has been stuck behind a desk rather than out in the field, but medical technology has finally caught up with his ambitions. Coupled with his unstoppable determination, it will take him back to where he thrives: the thick of the action.
Drafted into a new war, this time in our homeland, Chapel is tasked with hunting a group of escapees from a top secret military compound—all extremely deadly, genetically modified killers—and unraveling the mystery behind their existence. Aided by an enigmatic woman named Angel and a courageous, beautiful veterinarian, Chapel begins a cross-country hunt to stop the murders. But are the killers really rogues, or are they part of a sinister conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels?

5By Avid reader007This was a great story. Well laid out, you can keep track of the characters, good suspense and for those of us who like endings where not everyone dies, great :-)Chimera
2By Deacon DukesYou CAN judge a book by its title. This book is for a High School level audience; maybe Middle School. Very hard to finish. Ugh.Pleasant surprise
5By RicknotI purchased this book even knowing the authors horror background. I am not a horror fan at all but the story sounded different and I gave it a shot. Glad I did. Excellent story, quick pacing and just a great read all in all. Hopefully we'll see more of Chapel in the future.
