Excerpt
“Thank you, Supreme Leader. I won’t—”
“I know you won’t let me down. To ensure your success, your wife, Jung Gi, will be transported to the Chongori correctional facility. Tonight. She will service the guards until you return victorious or they tire of her.”
“No, Supreme Leader. I beg you. Please, don’t send her to the camp.”
“I didn’t send her to a re-education facility. Your ineptitude is responsible. Succeed, and she might be returned to you. Fail, and she will die.”
Crestfallen, Soo stared at the floor. “What about my boys? What will become of them?” Evil bastard.
“They will stay with me. Fail me again, and I’ll erase your entire family from history.”

Can't Put It Down!
ust WOW! If Author Randall Krzak’s intention was to draw you into several different plots at once, he certainly succeeded! Each action-packed chapter of this novel, “Dangerous Alliance,” pulls you into the next one. It’s one you can’t put down. Plenty of high-energy, heart-pumping scenes that will leave you breathless. Cargo and passenger ships are disappearing at a rapid pace along the coastline of Somali and Kenya, yet no one’s in a hurry to do anything about it. This allows Al-Shabab to set its sites on Kenya. That’s when things change.
Author Krzak knows how to spin a tale and comes up with plenty of surprises and non-stop action scenes. Follow Colonel Trevor Franklin, the team leader of Bedlam Bravo, as he leads his group into East Africa and keeps his cool during heated political confusion.
Whatever you do, don’t miss this one! This is the second novel I’ve read by this author, and he does not disappoint. He pulls all the subplots together in the end in an unexpected way. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
Randy Krzak - The Next Tom Clancy!
Join the Bedlam Team for a journey of intrigue and action on a virtual “thrill-a-page”! Randy’s in-depth first-hand knowledge of the countries combined with his intelligence background make this fiction novel as close to non-fictional as possible. One of those “can’t put down books” for all who enjoy world travel, spies, and special operations combined with a tremendous story! His ability to intertwine characters page after page will keep you entertained throughout. A must read without a doubt!
Dangerous Alliance – A Nail-Biting Thriller
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it won’t be the last.
Krzak masterfully weaves together four subplots all aiming toward a powerful ending. In the background, throughout the book, is a poignant and moving story of a man separated from his family. The man constantly faces a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t dilemma. Plenty of crisp action scenes pull you from one chapter to the next. Krzak knows how to turn a literary phrase. One of my favorites was: “Evelyn pulled the wig from her head, years draining away.”
You follow the groups of determined characters, some of whom are quite creepy, as they take care of business with some horrifying results. I will never be a spoiler, but the author pulls it all together toward the end, as if all the characters have gotten together for a meeting.
If you like an engaging read with a lot of imaginative stories tied together, this is definitely a book for you. Highly recommended.
When I wrote ths book in 2000, I was concerned about children having access to the Internet and to chat rooms where "you can be anyone you want." Here we are many years later and the situation with children talking freely to stangers on the Internet
