Field Piece, The Complete Series
In the aftermath of the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia maintains its military expertise by hiring out mercenary units to shore up shaky third world governments. But in Azerbaijan, Russian troops are confronted by Muslim freedom fighters led by a former Soviet officer with Iranian support, high-tech American weapons, and a deep hatred of Russians.
Steve Walker’s boss at the State Department sends him to find and stop the black market American weapons traffic, but Walker has another objective in mind — to kill his half-Iranian brother, Khalil Azrak, who commands the Azeri secret police for the Russians. Stopping the weapons traffic and killing Azrak aren’t going to be easy though, especially when Walker tangles with a beautiful Persian femme fatale who just might be a little too involved in the whole mess.

About the author
Daniel D. Ferry
7 booksDan Ferry was born in upstate Pennsylvania to a Swedish mother and an English mongrel father and planned to be a physicist until he discovered his aptitude for computers. A long career as a software and systems engineer honed his ability to juggle many projects at the same time -- the same skill needed to write a multifaceted novel. In addition to writing books, he also likes to write mobile apps for the iPhone and Android.
Dan scrambled onto a horse for the first time at his wife's urging and enjoyed himself so much that he subsequently bought his own horse and had the time of his life with that feisty mare. His novels always involve horses to some extent, frequently as an essential ingredient of the plot. He now resides in Northern Virginia with his wife and their beloved horses, dogs, and cats, and many goldfish who shall remain nameless.

Wow! This book has the most complex plot of any indie book I've ever read! I've been hooked from start to finish.
This is an outstanding novel! Thoroughly researched, well written, well paced, interesting political and family threads are woven together. The plot starts as a spy story but soon develops into something on a much bigger scale. It is full of twists and turns and takes the reader to fascinating countries such as Iran and Russia.
Daniel Ferry employs lots of characters - that's the only thing I found a little bit confusing sometimes in the book - but he ties up all threads and the reader feels he's got all the answers necessary by the end of the story.

Really good book covering 2-3 years in Iran and surrounding areas during the 90's. This is a work of fiction but uses actual events. The characters are well-written, with flaws just like real folks. I enjoyed this a lot and would recommend this book.

Intriguing Read
The author kept my attention throughout all parts of the story. While spy/military novels are not my norm, the approach was unusual and kept me wanting more. The let-down was when the story ended. Not a children's book.

This took me quite some time to get through. However, I really enjoyed the novel.
