Published

A Marine was captured…
Was it just a tragic accident…
…or a government cover-up?

When a Marine Reserve helicopter squadron was ordered to the U.S.–Mexico border, no one expected things to turn deadly. When a crew flew too close to a clandestine operation, the night erupted into violence.

Marines died, and Lieutenant Colonel Chuck Warden went missing. Yet no one wanted to take responsibility.

When Intelligence learned the captured Marine was sold to Islamic extremists, the situation escalated, threatening to spill across borders. Warden’s public execution would be the worldwide spectacle to spark the next revolution.

But Chuck Warden had the right kind of ally.
Marine Reservist Lieutenant Colonel Hap Stoner wasn’t about to let his friend be their sacrifice.

With time running out and no official rescue coming, Hap secretly recruited a strike force of fellow Marines willing to do the unthinkable: cross into Mexico without authorization, attack a cartel stronghold, and bring their brother home.

Risking their lives, careers, and freedom, the Marines refuse to leave a man behind—consequences be damned.

You’ll love Rescue Denied, the explosive first book in the Hap Stoner military thriller series, because it is packed with helicopter combat, covert operations, political betrayal, and the unbreakable brotherhood of warriors who refuse to stand down.

Pre-order now and join the mission that started it all.
