Warrior: Task Force Blue, Rogue Warrior: Designation Gold, and
Rogue Warrior: Seal Force Alpha were all New York Times

of articles for publications that run the gamut from the Columbia
Journalism Review to Soldier of Fortune. He has lectured on media

His books include the nonfiction bestseller Shadow Warrior, the
life story of Felix Rodriguez, the CIA agent who captured Che
Guevara, which was the subject of a 60 Minutes segment. His
previous novels include Evidence, Watchdogs, and Blood Cries. His
acclaimed CIA short story "There Are Monsterim" can be found in the
