"With so many espionage and special ops thriller writers out there, Seeger is unique in that he lived and thrived in both worlds. Playground for Ambition - captures that professional experience in a highly entertaining and well-crafted espionage tale." MARK KELTON, former chief of the CIA Counterintelligence Center SPECIAL OPERATIONS INTELLIGENCE OFFICER SUE O'CONNELL has found a way to break free from mundane office desk work. She and her colleagues from the SOF HUMINT cell are going to hunt down two Balkan war criminals visiting Germany. Better still, Sue is going to get a chance to work with her boyfriend, who is also based in Germany. They simply need to prove that the travelers are war criminals, then turn the information over to the German authorities. Meanwhile, Sue's mother, Barbara O'Connell, is working on a project to return art looted during World War II to the original owners. The project involves identifying if the art for sale at a Frankfurt auction house belonged to a Jewish family in 1939. If so, the family can file a lawsuit to stop the sale and arrange for the return of their heirlooms. >PRAISE FOR J.R. SEEGER'S MIKE4 SERIES "If you like good tales of the shadowy, often hard-edged world of counter- terrorism, read Mike4! Written by a veteran of 'the community, ' it will teach while it entertains." GENERAL STANLEY MCCHRYSTAL, author of My Share of the Task: A Memoir and Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World "Seeger quickly immerses the reader into the world and missions of the OSS, our nation's first special operations and intelligence organization. The writing, the 'feel, ' and behaviors of the characters are authentic, with plenty here to engage both the veteran operator, as well as the casual reader interested in better understanding the actions [and] courage of our OSS heroes." LTG (RETIRED) JOHN MULHOLLAND, former Deputy Commander, US Special Operations Command and former Commander, US Army Special Operation Command "In this suspense-filled thriller, Seeger takes his readers on a voyage of discovery across a dangerous, clandestine world he knows so well. His own experience in special ops add unmatched granularity and reality to a fast-paced, terrific yarn." MILT BEARDEN, author of The Black Tulip and co-author of The Main Enemy "Seeger has crafted a fast-paced narrative which carries the reader to multiple hotspots during WWII... This book may be fictional, but the accuracy and attention to detail yields a fine overview of the extraordinary contributions of a heretofore under-appreciated wartime agency." ANN TODD, author of OSS Operation Black Mail: One Woman's Covert War Against the Imperial Japanese Army "[Seeger] introduces us to the complexities of the war behind the lines across the globe. He clearly knows his stuff; the combat scenes are vivid, the tactics nuanced and sophisticated, with a host of political problems lurking in the background." COL (RETIRED) NICHOLAS REYNOLDS, author of Ernest Hemingway: Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy and Basra, Baghdad, and Beyond: The United States Marine Corps in the Second Iraq War "JR Seeger has written the heart and soul of person who must make hard decisions at the hardest moment, often in a world of grey, of lies, while in the search for a truth." DOUG STANTON, New York Times best-selling author of 12 Strong and The Odyssey of Echo Company
