the power to e To protect its investment, North Korea takes no chances. A
super-skilled North Korean assassin with the latest lethal
methods is dispatched to secretly kill the scientist s
worldwide competitors. Meantime, the U.S. military plucks Marine reservist Will
Parker from retirement. His mission? Penetrate dangerous
North Korea, and flesh out its leading military scientist
from an entourage of three doppelgangers Parker roomed with
the real guy his freshman year in college. At the same time, with the help of a North Korean asset, the
FBI finally connects the dots, and starts on the trail of
the North Korean assassin, hoping to catch him before he
kills again. It s a corker of a well-paced story that makes you feel like
you re there. And why not? Harp, a retired USMC colonel and
longtime member of the Reserves, gives his protagonist an
in-depth backstory and special set of characteristics that a
broad audience can relate to and appreciate. He tells the
story of a longtime military man relearning to do the right
thing for the right reasons. He populates A Northern Thunder
with some mind-blowing military technology all little known,
but actually in existence. And his North Korean theme and
milieu couldn t be more timely or more important and will
remain so for decades. Plus, Harp s A Northern Thunder
springs straight from the real world. The threat to the
world s satellites is acutely and officially recognized by
the United States, among others. With tons of action, intrigue, character, romance, and
deception, A Northern Thunder has everything a good spy
story needs. It s a riveting military thriller/spy novel,
written in the much-praised tradition of Tom Clancy s very
best work.
