Beschreibung

The second story in the Zack Stone series finds Zack in the country of Bahrain, tasked by the SOC Command to assist the Bahrain government in standing up their own Special Ops program. Zack works his way through and around the customs of this small Arabic country to bring the program to fruition in less than three months. During his time there, Zack falls in love with one of the female cadets, putting both himself and the women in constant danger of discovery. He manages to leave Bahrain with his reputation as the best of the best still intact. He recruits his lover, Dounia al Zanawi to join him and several U.S. special ops members in standing up a private security company known as CAPSTONE-X. Headed by former Senator Charles Clyborne, CAPSTONE's mission is to rid the country of the corruption running rampant within the U.S. Political machine, as well as rid the world of corrupt leaders. Zack remains the number one target of Denny Cravens, the Chief of the Special Operations Division at CIA. The two go back and forth with the all-out intent of getting rid of each other. Zack loses good friends, colleagues, and professional acquaintances in the ongoing battle to unseat Denny Cravens from his powerful position. Along the way, it seems Denny is protected by very powerful political figures, making it nearly impossible to bring him to justice. The entire CAPSTONE team heads to North Korea to rescue the United States' top Nuclear Scientist. Kidnapped by North Korean agents as he drove to work, Dr. Paul Dunning was moved to the NK nuclear lab in Pyong Yang. He was told, assist the NK scientists there to develop a nuclear weapon, or his entire family would be killed. A daring rescue takes place as the team devise a plan to enter North Korea, obtain Dr. Dunning, and egress North Korea. In order to have plausible deniability, the president was forced to use non-USG assets for the rescue.

Autor

Born in 1948, D.L. Brumley is the grandson of Oklahoma farmers who left their homes during the early 1940s, seeking opportunities for a better life in California. His father was one of seven children of John and Ada Brumley, all born before and raised during the Great Depression. You will note with some humor the country aspects of his writing. Raised by hard working country folks, Mr. Brumley's work ethic of nose to the grindstone is evident in not only his story telling, but in how his characters interact throughout this, his second book. After successful careers as an intelligence support officer in both the U.S. Army and with the U.S. Government spanning 43 years, he retired in 2013. Mr. Brumley is a veteran of the Viet Nam Conflict having served there in 1968-69. Later, as a USG employee, he served in Iraq early in that conflict in 2003. Having lived, worked, and traveled to multiple countries around the world, Mr. Brumley draws on those experiences to make his book more realistic to the reader. His second book, Stone's Way, is the continuation of the Zack Stone series of stories. For those who have traveled and lived overseas, his writing will take many back in time to memories and experiences of their own. For those not fortunate enough to have traveled or lived overseas, Stone's Way will take you on a visit to the small island country of Bahrain, sandwiched between Saudi Arabia to the east and Qatar to the west.
