About the author

Joe Nobody (pen name for the author who wishes to keep his identity confidential) has provided systems, consulting and training for the U.S. Army, Department of Homeland Security, Office of Naval Research, United States Border Patrol as well as several private firms and government agencies which cannot be disclosed.
He is currently active in this area and for the security of his family and ongoing business, wishes to remain anonymous.

He has over 30 years of competitive shooting experience, including IPSC, NRA, and other related organizations. He has been a firearms instructor and consultant for over 30 years and holds the rights to a United States Patent for a firearms modification.

Joe initially became involved in helping private citizens "prepare" at the request of his students and clients. A conscientious instructor, he would always inquire as to why they wanted to learn certain skills or techniques and often the response was to prepare for more than just simple home invasion or self-defense. If you ask Joe what his greatest attribute is, he will tell you he is a "problem solver" and uses his formal education in Systems Engineering to this end.

"As the economy worsens, world tensions rise, and the modern media propagates bad news faster than ever before, more and more people want to prepare. I wrote HOLDING because it allows me to reach more of the good folks who are concerned about their security. I want them to sleep better at night knowing they have a plan of defense should the 'Event' ever occur."

Keep them coming....

Keep them coming!!! Another outstanding novel in the series. My only complaint is I read too fast and can't make them last longer. LOL

Anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

This whole series is great

Honor, values and courage. Glad to read something that stresses and rewards the same.
Can't wait for the next one.

Not the best book of the series, but still a good read nonetheless. The trouble starts as the US contracts a convoy of truckers to transport food from a farm in Mexico, through Alliance territory in Texas, and back to the US. Near the border the convoy is ambushed and the US liaison demands that the Alliance investigate. In the course of finding the truth the Saint Team, along with Terri, discover an old plantation style community that appears more like the slavery era indentured servitude than an equal community. As they are forced to choose whether to work with this new dictator pair, against a group of militant outcasts in their own territory, or return to strained tensions with the US, Bishop and Terri end up falling into action due to an unexpected, but somewhat fortuitous, turn of events involving one of their closest friends.
