Test readers wanted!
Hi all, I just got my new thriller project back from a professional PW reviewer. The conclusion was "Fast-paced, packed with action and suspense ...keeps the reader guessing...realistic and original...a lot to like here!"
That was gratifying as I've been working with a group of enthusiastic police and military advisers to ensure the story is authentic - and they've been really helpful with plot and pacing too!
THE PLOT
US Navy UCAV (drone) Air Boss Alicia Rodriguez and aviator Lieutenant Karen 'Bunny' O'Hare are alone on a decommissioned US UCAV facility on Little Diomede Island in the Bering Strait when Russia launches a lightning operation to shut down the critical waterway between Alaska and Russia to traffic and deny the US navy access.
They are alone, dug in deep and trapped behind enemy lines. Surrender? Hell no.

The PW reviewer suggested working on adding some depth to the characters (more show, less tell...) and so I've been doing that and now I'd love some true reader opinions before I go into final draft!
You can download the latest draft here (ereader and pdf formats): https://dl.bookfunnel.com/g4fdazides
and I'd love it if you send me your thoughts, suggestions, encouragement or critique either at FaceBook:
