When the Iraqis get hold of a weapon with devastating power, a beleaguered U.S. President sends a combined strike force of Navy SEALs and Air Force commandos into hostile territory to snatch the instrument of destruction from the enemy's clutches. But the mission's success is undone when a high level indiscretion puts the weapon in the hands of a diabolical mastermind with his own apocalyptic agenda.
Orr Kelly, a veteran Washington newsman, has covered the Pentagon, the Justice Department and the nation's intelligence agencies for the Washington Star and U.S.News & World Report magazine. He has written extensively on military history, with books on the Army's M-1 Abrams main battle tank, the Navy's F/A-18 strike fighter, the Navy SEALs and Air Force Special Operations. SEALs Eagle Force:Eagle Strike is his second work of fiction. It follows the first book in the series for Avon, SEALs Eagle Force: Desert Thunder. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Mary, with whom he co-authored Dream's End: Two Iowa Brothers in the Civil War.
