Sergeant Danielle Walker is on a hostage rescue op in Yemen when a mysterious EMP strike changes the world. Cut off from civilization and deep within insurgent-held territory, Walker and her team must team up with old enemies to defeat a merciless invasion force…a foe that’s already mopping up their worldwide conquest.
In the post-apocalyptic ruins of America, her prepper husband, Dixon, struggles to bug out of Judgment Day. None of Dixon’s expensive preparations are enough in a world on the brink of annihilation. With nothing but his wits and the clothes on his back, Dixon must survive a cutthroat new-world order to save himself and his stepdaughter.
This is a popular new release (8 Sept 2015) that has stayed in the top 2,000 salesranks on Amazon.com at full price ($3.99) since its launch. When translated into German, I plan on supporting this with regular Facebook Ads and occasional (once a quarter) discount promotion runs targeting the German/Austrian/Swiss markets.

“Two minutes to the LZ. Pucker up everyone!”
Sergeant First Class Danielle Walker yawned and unsnapped her harness. She hadn’t budged since launching from the USS Gerald R Ford in the Arabian Sea at o’ dark thirty. The rest of the US Army SOCOM operators wedged on board the MV-22 Osprey helicopter stretched out around her.
Walker jogged in place for ten seconds, her favorite pre-operation ritual to lubricate the mind and muscles. As a forward air controller attached to the Spec-Ops team, she wasn’t a door-kicker. No matter how much admitting it hurt, she wouldn’t be on point for this raid. There were twelve high-speed shooters between Walker and the rear ramp waiting to fast-rope down and finish the dirty work.
Which didn’t mean she had nothing to do in the meantime.
Walker studied her tablet computer and its live drone feed, waiting for a reaction from their upcoming target. Staff Sergeant Roland, the team’s medic, peered over her shoulder and spit the last of his dip into a Dr. Pepper bottle.
“What are you waiting for? Quit playing with yourself and just waste the Hajjis already.”
“Ah, ah. Slow your roll, big fella.” Walker wagged a finger at him and stared deeper into the screen. “Whatever the job, be it business, sex or even hostage rescue missions like this, it all comes down to…” She leered at her handheld. “Timing. Now we’re ready.”

Author review: Frank is an incredible professional who is a breeze to work with. He's a hardcore perfectionist with an eye for detail that even few copy-editors can match. He went above and beyond simply translating and helped with marketing and even picking out homonyms and other errors in the text, all while answering every question, in detail, within hours. Most importantly, he delivered a near perfect product ahead of schedule. If you're looking for a freelancer that treats his projects with the same passion and dedication as his day job, then look no further. If you pass on the opportunity to hire him, well, you have no one to blame but yourself. |
