Synopsis:
      Our readers free-fall smack-dab in the middle of the fun, a whirling maelstrom of a building takedown where every calamity imaginable plummets down upon our characters with the force of gigantic cartoon anvils. Within the first three chapters our band of ten shooters and looters bulldoze their way inside the Compumercobrás facility, hammering down thunder on the entire security guard staff via fists, knives, grenades, and a trigger-happy outpouring of full-auto leadslinging. Through the course of all this chaos, we learn A.J. is a rampant psychopath twisting every last team member’s nerve endings, Victor is an edgy, clock watching disciplinarian; Akira the Grumbler is a spy for the very same Yakuza this crew is to sell their winnings to and, by the end of the third chapter, a spurting corpse; and the rest of the ten are just as eager to end the night on top, damn all who stand in their path.
The chaos unfolds fast and hard enough to bolt you back into your seat with SWAT-teams, rocket launchers, rampant use of high explosives and enough twists and turns to smack the reader with whiplash.

Author Bio:
      Hey! Frank the author dude here. I’m a specimen courier (of all things) that occasionally goes and plays Army for Uncle Sam on weekends. I’ve self published a couple picture books, been featured in a half-page spread of The Christian Science Monitor, and most recently: a letter to the editor in SWAT magazine. Woooo! This hot bunch of text jumping out of the page is the first major opus I intend to have storm out of the printing press. Enjoy.

      Have been fortunate enough to just receive a favorable review from a Subject Matter Expert. Odds favor his opinion will drop some hefty weight to push our target market leaning towards an “Oh! Gotta read that bad boy now!” type of mental stance.

Sent off my baby "Chaos and Rage" to Kevan Gillies, the head instructor at Tactical Explosive Entry School - Brazil. Kevan knows all the major people in Brazil's major SWAT-type and Counter Terrorist teams, as his school has trained a healthy handful of their operators. Slap on top of that like ice cream on the pie, he is THE MAN to see in Brazil if you want to blast your way inside somewhere with chemicals that go BOOM. (Psssst…the novel is set in Brazil.)
From Kevan:
“…AJ is a right wanker and has probably got it coming to him shortly!!!)
Congrats - great read - really enjoying it - fast paced and written for the operator.”
AND
“…Really enjoyed the read, congrats ! also got pretty fond of the psycho AJ (secretly wanted him to be the only one to walk out of that hell hole)
Fast Paced, packed with high tech gear and high speed tactics, written for the operator !... I wish all the best on your book and please keep me posted when it is published as I will definitely buy a copy or two.”

Also, am currently working on glossary illustrations, pictures for book cover, posters, other promotional items, and inquiring with artists as to the possibilities of a webcomic and/or graphic novel version. (All of the above is in formulative stages as of mid-Nov 2007.)
