Here is a new review for the recently released Locked On by Bookreporter.com

Here is my next project. It will be on shelves December 13th, and I could not be more proud!

LOCKED ON

I’ll be at the Booksellers at Laurelwood at Poplar and Perkins this evening at 6pm for a discussion and signing on my new book, Ballistic. This will be my last local event for the books, so please come on down!

The yacht was called La Sirena, it lay at anchor here seven miles out in the bay, wide of the shipping lanes that ran to the port or the marina, but close enough to shore so that its owner and his entourage could enjoy all that Puerto Vallarta had to offer. It was long and sleek and beautiful, and crowned by a state-of-the-art black Eurocopter helicopter resting on the helipad above the upper aft deck. But Eduardo Gamboa ignored the style of the ship in front of him and focused fully on the substance. After forty minutes under water his night vision was tuned to its peak. With his naked eye he saw two guards on the upper sundeck standing near the bow. He imagined the same number on the opposite side.

Three olive drab pickup trucks turned off the road from the plaza and onto Canalizo, the Gamboas’ street. Standing in the beds and leaning on the cab’s roof in each vehicle were two Mexican Army soldiers with bulky green flack jackets and large black G3 rifles. Behind them in the truck beds were two more armed soldiers facing the rear, their weapons trained on the street. Counting the driver and a passenger in each cab, Court realized eighteen guns and gunners had just arrived on the scene.

“Or the army.” Court repeated, more to himself than to Laura.

As the October 4th release date of Ballistic draws near, I’ll start adding pictures from my research trip here on my blog, along with little bits of the book highlighting that location.

This popped all over the Internet last week, and I have a little inside knowledge. I hope to know more soon. Please check back here or, by all means, “Friend” me on Facebook!
