“Thriller writing at its best. Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that’s hard to put down.”–Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)“One of the best … Necessary)
“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
–Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
When nuclear waste is stolen by jihadists in the middle of the night from an unguarded New York City hospital, the police, in a frantic race against time, call in the FBI. Luke Stone, head of an elite, secretive, department within the FBI, is the only man they can turn to. Luke realizes right away that the terrorists’ aim is to create a dirty bomb, that they seek a high-value target, and that they will hit it within 48 hours.
A cat and mouse chase follows, pitting the world’s most savvy government agents versus its most sophisticated terrorists. As Agent Stone peels back layer after layer, he soon realizes he is up against a vast conspiracy, and that the target is even more high value than he could have imagined—leading all the way to the President of the United States.
With Luke framed for the crime, his team threatened and his own family in danger, the stakes could not be higher. But as a former special forces commando, Luke has been in tough positions before, and he will not give up until he finds a way to stop them—using any means necessary.
Twist follows twist as one man finds himself up against an army of obstacles and conspiracies, pushing even the limits of what he can handle, and culminating in a shocking climax.
A political thriller with heart-pounding action, dramatic international settings, and non-stop suspense, ANY MEANS NECESSARY marks the debut of an explosive new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.
Book #2 in the Luke Stone series is also now available!

Every one in this series is fantastic, We need a Luke Stone today
This was a great action-packed story of how easy it would be for powerful people to take out our president & replace him with whom ever they believed could better serve their political whims.
Sounds impossible? Then read this.
Well-written.
Very enterprising with twists and turns… enjoyed the read.
I had a hard time putting it down. Wish it was a movie!
Couldn’t put it down good realistic read
Too far fetched
This book was excellent and kept you on the edge of your chair. It was as good as Tom Clancy’s or even better!
A coup–as described in the book– is possible , but coming from the left, not right, as contemporary events show us daily. However, the book is well written and good reading regardless of the author’s left-leaning ideology.
A good action book with good plot and characters.
Great story
Luke Stone commands the special response team, an outdated group designed to deploy anywhere that the US is threatened. The team’s budget is routinely on the chopping block, but the team is still active. When Luke gets a call in the middle of the night, he listens to Don Morris, his, boss, and heads off to the white house to face a threat to the President. As thrillers go, this is one of the bst I’ve ever read. I was constantly off balance, never knowing who was trustworthy, never knowing where the action would go next. One idea stands out from the whole book: an agent says that any assassination attempt will not come from terrorists because they could never ger close enough. An assassination attempt would be “white on white” coming from close to the President for political reasons. Luke Stone has a team (Ed Newsome on weapons, Swann on technology, Trudy on intelligence) and, as a team, they are awesome. The book is intricately plotted, with surprises coming at every turn. I highly recommend this book.
Great story line
The book is the second one from the author that I have read. Entertaining and is a good action adventure thriller.
Loved this book action packed great read
Enjoyed the main character.
scary scenario
Great series starter. Hooked me right away…
Luke Stone is a super patriot, his family life pays the price, this one is a cliff-hanger but the author will show you the conclusion. Might make you a little paronoid.
If I read it, it was worth reading. I READ IT !!!!!!
