Who Is Lucas Wheeler?
Writers are often asked, "Who do you see as your main character, if they made a movie out of your book?"
It doesn't always work like that, at least, not for me. But my publisher always jokingly called Targets West, my new thriller, "the James Garner as James Bond book."
And that's ... pretty close!

J. Michael Waller Likes Targets West
I've been VERY LUCKY that some great people have said good things about my new thriller, Targets West. Here's what J. Michael Waller had to say ... and am I grateful!
“Targets West is a pulse-pounding triumph of suspense, blending the raw grit of the American West with the shadowy intrigue of global espionage. Scott McCrea crafts Lucas Wheeler as a modern cowboy hero—tough, principled, and unflinching—whose journey from Wyoming’s plains to London’s chaotic arenas bucks a wild ride of danger and deception.”
