From Neo-Nazi groups and their white supremacy activities, to Mossad operatives finding evidence of ex-Nazi's living in South American countries to former Soviet-bloc nations in turmoil and their nuclear arsenals not totally accounted for, Sergeant Wilson's last assignment of his brilliant military career is turning into quite an adventure. Amazon.com Kevin Grover's auspicious debut novel Strike Hard has all the elements that a suspense novel should have, and examines a possibility that many believe could never happen. Strike Hard, released by PublishAmerica, explores a series of events that occurred during the winter storm that paralyzed the state of Kentucky in January of 1984. Mr. Grover has crafted the story masterfully, which poses two questions: Is Strike Hard a work in fiction? Has our Government been forthcoming with information surrounding the events that occurred that winter? Strike Hard is a taut suspense adventure that explores the possibilities of what could happen. Many of the elements involved are in place in the world today. Neo-Nazi groups are stepping up their white supremacy activities, and Mossad operatives are finding more evidence each day of ex-Nazi's living in South American countries. Former Soviet-bloc nations are in turmoil and their nuclear arsenals are not totally accounted for. The result is a novel that is both entertaining . . . and frightening if one looks at the potential impact of these elements coming together on today's world stage. Excerpt It was always presumed, by both the government and the public, that any attempt to break into the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox would be futile and impossible. On the fifteenth of January, 1994, a major winter storm swept through the state of Kentucky, paralyzing the state for almost a week. What is not known is that events occurred before and during this storm that, if made public, would place serious doubts as to the security of our nation and our financial reserves. In all documents of the United States Treasury Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, and Military Police Intelligence, no reference to the events described herein ever came to pass. There are no records of any kind to indicate anything in any files of the Military police, or any units assigned to either Fort Knox or Fort Campbell. Essentially, the story of what you are about to read has been erased from history

To fulfill the requirements for his degree in criminology Army Sergeant Anthony Wilson joins Colonel Nathan Hooks of Military Police Investigations to investigate the thefts of weapons from military bases. The entire intelligence community has no clue about the perpetrators. Each avenue of investigation is circumvented by someone inside who informs on them. An attempt is made on Tony's life. When the would-be assassin is apprehended, it is learned that a Nazi group in Argentina is behind the thefts. They plan to break into the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox and use the gold to finance a new Reich. It becomes a race for Nathan to convince the military, who refuse to believe him, to increase security at Fort Knox before the Nazis storm the Depository. The attack is made during a crippling snow storm. A fierce battle ensues. This is a well-developed plot with true-to-life characters. The writing style is smooth and readable. The dialogue is written in a way that sounds real. The action is fast moving. This is a taut suspenseful story showing enough of the potential dangers to this country to set alarm bells ringing. The author leaves us with the feeling that we will be reading more of Sergeant Anthony Wilson's experiences in the future.

With his debut novel, Columbus, Ohio resident Kevin Grover has created a story that is wrought with suspense and danger. However, during this, he has not forgotten that the main part of any story - aside from the plot itself - are the characters. Writing is a skill that many try to have, but few have accomplished. Mr. Grover accomplishes the handling of characters in a way that is unmatched. Tony, Nathan and Karen are well-written and the dialog is as real as can be written. Even the supporting characters of Karen's parents, the Doctor in the hospital, and a lot of the other assorted cast are portrayed as real people with feelings, emotions, and every other aspect of humanity. The story finds Tony being swept up by a plot to break into the gold vault at Fort Knox. while this idea is totally unplauseable, Mr. Grover presents it in such a way that actually makes you stop, if only for a brief moment, and ask yourself if it really could happen. As he presents so eloquently in the forward: When the government is involved, the truth will never be known. This book is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Tom Clancy, Dean Koontz, Stephan Coonts, Clive Cussler, and any of the many other books which are full of intrigue and suspense. Mr. Grover does join the ranks of these great authors by writing his story in a 'True Fiction' method, taking actual historical events and wrapping his story around and through it so the reader is at least partially unsure as to which part is fact and which is fiction. Our staff highly recommends this book, both for general reading and for the experience. Look to see more from this bright and energetic author in the future.
