LIBYA SHATTERED
Tripoli, Libya — January 27, 2015
ISIS jihadists stormed the Corinthia Hotel. One of John Gage’s men didn’t make it out.
Gage and his EGA Global team stayed in Libya when most foreign companies left. After the ambassador was killed in Benghazi, after Tripoli International burned, they kept their people alive in a country with two governments and no law. For a while.
Now the client has written Libya off. Everyone out. Everything abandoned. Contract canceled. Gage expelled from the country. While the client rushes to close the books, Gage finds a way back in. To finish the job. To find whoever killed his man—and why.
It didn’t begin with the terrorist attack. It isn’t over.
The first novel in the Beyond the Wire series, Libya Shattered draws on the author’s years in post-revolution Libya to deliver a thriller set in a country where terrorists, militias, governments, and corporations are all fighting over the pieces.
“I was expecting a story like one I’ve read in many other military/action books. This wasn’t that. …the writing style felt so real, like I was a fly on the wall…”

BEYOND THE WIRE
BOOK TWO
MEXICO BIRTHRIGHT
TAMAULIPAS, MEXICO
When Texas wildcatter Dub Chisholm bet everything on Mexico’s newly opened oil fields, he knew the risks. Tamaulipas is cartel country—kidnappings, extortion, bodies on the roadside. He brought in John Gage and EGA Global to keep his people alive.
It wasn't enough.
Now Dub is in cartel hands, and two parallel operations race against the clock. While a professional negotiator follows protocol, Gage conducts his own investigation. What he uncovers is far more dangerous than a kidnapping for ransom. Someone inside Dub’s operation has orchestrated this betrayal. And behind the ransom demand lies something darker—a plan that doesn’t end with Dub coming home alive.
In Mexico's violent frontier, some birthrights are paid in blood.
The second novel in the Beyond the Wire series, Mexico Birthright draws on the author’s firsthand experience in conflict zones to deliver a thriller where the real danger isn’t the cartels—it’s the betrayal you never see coming.
