Dr. Nova Orlovic, known as "the Chief" - she's half-Cheyenne - is on the warpath again. After her team uncovered the inconvenient truth as to how her second husband had died, President Lincoln Todd circles his wagons in major damage control. And it's payback, big time, for the Chief when she's indicted for the murder of her first husband eleven years ago.
Then a tyrant, eager to rebuild his weapons of mass destruction, gives Nova an offer she can't refuse. In exchange for her expertise in nuclear physics, he tempts her with new revelations about both her husbands' deaths, perhaps clearing her name. But by "counting coup" with her enemies on both sides of the ocean, will the Chief lose the Commander, her latest love, as well as unwittingly unleash the dogs of war?

The coup stick, Star of David, British and American flags in the image above have meaning in this latest story.
If this has piqued your interest, please feel free to read the book.
Your readership is much appreciated.
Your logo is very creative and beautifully done. My logo for the latest edition of American Mole (Aryan Nation) is similar, but not as creative because it has been done by me. It will be a combination of the Confederate flag with the Nazi symbol over that and the Christian cross over that, making for a great inset to be placed on top of the series background of the American flag. My editor has already pronounced it "outstanding."
Someday I certainly will want to read Commander in the Chief and give you a good review where it is sold.
