About the Book

Twelve miles off the Virginia Beach coast, Alex Harold leaps overboard after being raped by six terrorists whose ultimate goal is to destroy the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads tunnels, land-locking the U.S. Navy''s Atlantic Fleet. Thousands of lives and billions of dollars are at stake. The Gamer, the leader and a terrorist equal to bin Laden, is unaware Alex is an Olympic class swimmer.

After surviving treacherous seas, Alex uncovers The Gamer''s horrid plot.   She informs the FBI before struggling with the mental anguish of revealing the rape to her husband. How did she get on the boat? What preceded the rape? Her inner strength prevails. The Gamer has to be stopped, whatever the personal costs.

Hour by hour, an exhilarating battle of wits unfolds. The FBI''s knowledge of his plans baffles The Gamer. How did they know? Elusive and cunning, he counters with deception. The FBI listens to his every move. Alex listens to the FBI...with revenge in her heart.

Wrapped in moments of humor and charm, this frenetic suspense thriller will grab readers by the throat, throwing curves and change-ups between fastballs. Will the home team win?   Will Alex get her revenge?

A cast of characters explodes onto the scene at every turn from North Carolina to Atlantic City as the gut-wrenching tension boils to a gripping conclusion.

He now publishes Superscout Women''s Basketball Report, a recruiting service for college throughout the country and is the author of a recruiting guide for high school players and parents.
