Trinity Icon--The 'Back of the Book Summary'
For everyone who's been asking what 'Trinity Icon' is all about, here's the summary that will appear in all press releases and promotional material. Keep in mind that this was written a year ago when I put the outline together for the book. I'd like to think it's prescient; at the very least, it's fascinating to see how fiction sometimes gets ahead of reality.
One more thing; I'd like to post another excerpt from the book. There's no time limit, but once I reach 125 likes on The Michael Neill Adventures Facebook page, I'll post one right here. I think that's a reasonable figure, given that the page currently has 109 likes.
Enough of that. Here's the summary...
"A new president is elected, and Willis Avery is tapped to fill the position of Secretary of Defense. But before he can accept this new role, he must navigate a maze of foreign policy issues--and keep the Russian government at bay.
In Central Europe, Poland has rejected a plan to position a missile shield on their soil--until a threat from beyond their borders creates havoc. Fanning the flames of conflict, Moscow begins supplying Tehran with new weaponry, and during testing, an Iranian ICBM veers off course with tragic results. The Polish government turns to NATO--and the United States--for protection.
The National Security Advisor conceives a plan to strengthen ties with the former republics. With the defensive shield now back on the table, Willis Avery envisions an even broader network of emplacements, providing greater security to nations bordering Russia. His strategy depends on the cooperation of the breakaway states in the region--and the help of Captain Michael Neill.
After successful assignments in Ukraine and the South China Sea, Neill is tasked as a liaison. To convince the republics, he enlists the aid of an old friend, General Andrei Ulyanov—and, if he can keep her alive, the dynamic and beautiful Viktoriya Gavrilenko.
The stage is set for increased tension when the former Soviet empire threatens an arms race, and along the way, Neill becomes caught up in the search for a lost religious icon--foretold by legend to restore the faith of a disheartened people. But that’s not all; the Marine’s very heart is laid bare, and there’s no denying the growing feelings he has for someone very close to him . . ."
