Strike Hard (Book) - 5/31/2002 5:16:39 AM
This book has "intriguing block buster movie" written all over it, but that is not what made it so appealing. Mr. Grover does his homework, his research, and that makes Strike Hard shine. Whether it was the awesome military capability so few common citizens know much about, or mortal wounds inflicted by snipers or combatants, I found every word believable. This is a book that both men and women will enjoy.
Located in the rolling hills of Kentucky, much of the action and investigation takes place in and around Ft. Knox and Ft. Campbell. Our hero is Tony Wilson, a buck Sergeant and Advanced Individual Training Instructor at Ft. Knox. Tony is a man who lives with quiet thoughts and likes it that way. He shares a comfortable long-term friendship with Sgt. Karen Harris and is blithely unaware of her affection for him.
Tony Wilson is not a die-hard warrior or a macho skirt chaser. His mind is focused on friendship, humor, living a calm and honorable life, and earning a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology. Enter Lt. Colonel Nathan Hooks. Nathan is near retirement and finds himself faced with the unexplainable theft of military weapons and the suspicious deaths of several military staff members. When Tony applies to do his practicum with the Military Police Investigation Office, Nathan takes the younger man on board. Smart, with a calmly focused, analytical mind, Tony helps uncover a reason for the stolen weapons and murdered soldiers. He soon finds himself up against an old line Nazi nemesis - Hans - who will stop at nothing to reach his goal. This includes assassinating Tony and any other person who tries to stop him.
Hans and fellow Nazi Heinrich plot to breech Ft. Knox and rid themselves of Tony. In his own quiet, determined way, Tony battles the blizzard of the century, struggles to stay alive and to protect everyone and everything he loves and respects. I just have to say this. Fasten your seatbelts, readers. Strike Hard is an exciting ride that leaves you eager to read the author's follow up, Strike Swiftly. I hope the author doesn't make us wait too long.
