Shock Wave

Praise for Al Pessin’s Task Force Epsilon Thrillers
 
“If your thing is adventure, political intrigue, suspense, and action galore, then this is the thriller for you.  Don't wait.  Check it out.  Now.” —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author on Blowback
 
“Don't mess with the good guys. Reading Al Pessin's Blowback is like saddling a rocket. Once it gets going, hang on for one helluva ride!” —John Gilstrap, New York Times bestselling author on Blowback
 
"The blistering and bracing Blowback is a thinking man's (or woman's!) action thriller, a scarily prescient take on current events that foretells the headlines instead of exploiting them. Al Pessin's second entry in the Task Force Epsilon series conjures comparisons to James Rollins's seminal Sigma Force in all the right ways, while staking out his own turf in a crowded landscape. A riveting and relentless read." —Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author on Blowback
 
“Original, action-packed, gripping, and timely - Blowback kept me up all night. Al Pessin knows Washington and the war on terror. And Hollywood, take note, Al Pessin is the new Tom Clancy.” —Tony Park, international bestselling author on Blowback
 
“Blowback is a realistic—and top-notch—boots-on-the-ground military thriller featuring the secret counterterrorism unit, Task Force Epsilon. Author Al Pessin gives readers a front row seat as uber-resilient unit leader Bridget Davenport directs U.S. Army Lt. Faraz Abdallah on a harrowing undercover mission to the Syrian terrorist camps in pursuit of the elusive Taliban mastermind al-Souri. The pages will fly by as you draw closer to the heart-thumping, action-packed climax. Pessin really knows his stuff and Blowback proves it!” —Alan Orloff, Thriller- and Derringer-Award winning author of I Know Where You Sleep on Blowback
 
“Blowback is a timely military thriller that pulls no punches. Al Pessin brings the war on terror to life like few authors can. Highly recommended for fans of Alex Berenson and Brad Thor.” —Ward Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of Assassin’s Strike on Blowback
 
“Goodbye, Homeland. Hello, Sandblast. Showtime’s hit series Homeland ends in May. But covert ops fans can now turn to Sandblast, the first book in an action, adventure and suspense trilogy by Al Pessin” —Palm Beach Artspaper on Sandblast
 
"An explosive shocker…Pessin brings to the book four decades of research and experience as a journalist, 15 of them overseas, and many of them in war zones." —Boca Magazine on Sandblast
 
“Al Pessin escorts you through thrills and chaos, writing with the sure hand of authority. This guy knows his stuff.” —Richard Castle, New York Times bestselling author of the Nikki Heat thrillers
 
“In Sandblast, Al Pessin has crafted a taut action-thriller that really pulls you in. You’ll feel like you’re right beside the main character, on an increasingly perilous journey filled with impossible choices that threaten to change him at his very core. The plot is highly original, and I felt like I was there. It’s a great book.” —Henry V. O'Neil, author of The Sim War Series
 
“Sandblast is tense, believable and relevant. Pessin calls on his years in the Pentagon and White House press corps for the keen details that bring this tale to life.  There's a high emotional content here, too, as we follow the almost impossible quest of a likable and massively outgunned hero.” —T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Good Guy
