CLANDESTINE
"Moses is in Egypt. And he's your Moses, mate. Your wife is a little worried? Tell her there's a reason James Bond works for us."
"The threat is real. We are looking at 20,000+ dead in Hamburg. Get all our deep covers up in Europe, now."> Mike Tucker, from CLANDESTINE
In the heart of Northern Saudi Arabia, British Secret Intelligence Service clandestine operatives hunting Islamic State financiers take on a mission that has profound consequences for Europe, the Near East and America in CLANDESTINE, a thrilling, politically-charged novella that could not be more urgent, compelling or provocative. A riveting tale of espionage and intrigue, this is CLANDESTINE by Mike Tucker, a counterterrorism specialist on the Arabian Peninsula for seven years and the only writer who was with American snipers in both the Near East and the Hindu Kush after September 11th.
Praise for Mike Tucker
"NORTH CHINA BLUES is a classic journey story and a raw, vivid espionage and war novel with a powerful affirmation of justice and love -point-blank, gripping and poignant, a story that we would not know except for Mike Tucker's journey among the farmers and fishermen in North China. The Chinese guerrilla fighters, revolutionaries and spies have their say and could not be more real, convincing and authentic. Lyrical and compelling, reminiscent of THE ODYSSEY, I could not put it down. Bravo, Mike Tucker."
Mark Chambers, hunting guide, Northern New Mexico
"SPARTACUS DID THE RIGHT THING is one of the novels that has won Mike Tucker's prose just comparison to Ernest Hemingway. Tucker's short, energetic sentences are stripped down and laconic, lending a rhythm and directness to the narrative that immediately recalls Hemingway."
Miles Amoore, the African Correspondent THE SUNDAY TIMES www.amazon.co.uk
"If Hemingway were alive, he would be buying drinks for Mike Tucker all night long, for Tucker's vivid, moving first-hand account of a 250 kilometer deep reconnaissance behind Burmese Army lines, THE LONG PATROL, pivots on those quintessentially Hemingwayesque themes of armed men fighting to survive against overwhelming odds, and simply battling against the elements. Outstanding."

"CHINATOWN is a quick read, a wild tirade, and a historical investigation all at once. In that it ties Trump to some of our worst international impulses over 100 years of history is an achievement. And it does so with fire."
Will Layman, jazz musician, critic and educator. Washington, D.C.
