    “Thriller writing at its best. Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”
    --Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)
    
    “One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
    --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
    
    From #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars, author of the critically-acclaimed Luke Stone and Agent Zero series (with over 5,000 five-star reviews), comes an explosive new, action-packed thriller series that takes readers on a wild-ride across Europe, America, and the world.
    
    When elite Navy Seal Troy Stark is forced into retirement for his dubious respect for authority, he dreads the quiet life awaiting him with his brothers and buddies in Yonkers, New York. But the quiet doesn’t last long: the NYPD needs Troy’s military expertise to help find and stop a major terrorist threat to New York City. To pre-empt the attack, they need him to fly to Europe and stop it at its source—using any means necessary.
    
    Troy finds himself partnered with an Interpol agent who is as different from him as can be, and their instant dislike is mutual. But they have an attack to stop, and only a few days to do it, and together they’ll need each other as they criss-cross Europe in a high-octane cat-and-mouse chase to shut these terrorists down.
    
    But what starts off as a straightforward mission (and an opportunity to clear his name) soon catapults Troy headfirst into a global conspiracy. These criminals are more sophisticated than they appear, and even with Troy’s unparalleled military skills, he and his team find themselves constantly one stop behind. With the fate of New York City on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. 
    
    Where will they strike? And when? And can Troy stop it before it’s too late?
    
    An unputdownable action thriller with heart-pounding suspense and unforeseen twists, ROGUE FORCE is the debut novel in an exhilarating new series by a #1 bestselling author that will have you fall in love with a brand new action hero—and turn pages late into the night.
    
    Books #2 and #3 in the series—ROGUE COMMAND and ROGUE TARGET—are now also available.

    Roger Dean Craig, a Deputy Sheriff in Dallas, found himself unwittingly thrust into history in the fall of 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. His eyewitness account and subsequent testimony would become a crucial piece of the puzzle. Craig was on duty in Dallas on November 22nd. The officer was initially disoriented by the sudden bursts of gunfire however, he quickly moved toward the source - the Texas School Book Depository. It was there, near the grassy knoll, Craig would have an encounter that would later define his role in the assassination. The deputy observed a man running from the building who then left in a station wagon driven by another man. 
     
    Craig saw the man again in the office of Captain Will Fritz. It was the recently arrested Lee Harvey Oswald. When the officer told his story about the man being picked up Oswald replied: "That station wagon belongs to Mrs. Paine... Don't try to tie her into this. She had nothing to do with it." Craig was also with Seymour Weitzman, Will Fritz, Eugene Boone, and Luke Mooney when the historic rifle was found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Craig insisted the rifle was a 7.65 Mauser and not a Mannlicher-Carcano. 
     
    His testimony became crucial in the Warren Commission's investigation into Kennedy's assassination. Craig's account differed greatly from the official narrative, and he faced considerable pressure and scrutiny. Standing firm Craig found himself at odds with the official findings. Over the years, he faced many personal and professional challenges as a result of his involvement in this historic event. Craig spoke out about his experiences, even authoring a book titled "When They Kill a President," in which he detailed his observations and the difficulties he faced in the aftermath of that tragic day. This is his riveting untold story!
