About the author

USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestseller M. L. “Matt” Buchman started writing on a flight south from Japan to ride his bicycle across the Australian Outback. Just part of a solo around-the-world trip that ultimately launched his writing career.

From the very beginning, his powerful female heroines insisted on putting character first, then a great adventure. He’s since written over 60 action-adventure thrillers and military romantic suspense novels. And just for the fun of it: 100 short stories, and a fast-growing pile of read-by-author audiobooks.

Booklist says: 3x “Top 10 of the Year.” PW says: “Tom Clancy fans open to a strong female lead will clamor for more.” His fans say: “I want more now…of everything.” That his characters are even more insistent than his fans is a hoot.
As a 30-year project manager with a geophysics degree who has designed and built houses, flown and jumped out of planes, and solo-sailed a 50’ ketch, he is awed by what is possible. More at: www.mlbuchman.com.

Reviews

[Leslie]

Good, but two short, another chapter would of been awesome and maybe a bit of an update on the front cover? More background and def a different font for these novellas - but that's just me!

[Darcy]

A very fun one to read. I liked that Teresa was able to keep Hal on his toes, that nothing about her was what he expected, especially her last move.

Now this was a decent short story. Again I am not a big fan. But this could have been so much more if mor depth was given to these two

[V.C. Leo]

A gem of a story

Buchman creates two stellar characters here. In the space of a short story you survive a HALO jump, kidnap a terrorist, learn interesting things about the Coast Guard and see the start of a solid romance. He is a,master of his trade, a solid joy to watch....

[Dewey]

Very strong characters and great potential for... more. I am not a fan of these novellas.

[Nancy Bodie]

Great read!

This well written story opens another great series of short stories. They have great characters, action filled storylines. Highly recommend!

[Alison]

Teresa Mann is a Coastguard volunteered for a mission with Delta. Together with Hal Waldman she makes a HALO jump in filthy weather to extract an asset.

A nice short story with likeable characters.

[Beverly]

A really short short story. It took less than 30 minutes to read.

[Nibrock]

A very fun, but quick novella.

[Rita]

Short but very good. I want to read more about these two characters, someday. :)
