Hood, a decorated combat veteran who served in the 82nd Airborne division, is a now a full-time SWAT team member in Tennessee. Clear by Fire was his debut novel and the first book in a new series about ex-special forces operator Mason Kane. His second book, Warning Order, comes out June 7, 2016. You can pre-order it here.

In January, David Petraeus, co-author of the Counter Insurgency manual, and disgraced director of the CIA, is going to testify before the special house subcommittee on the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed four Americans.
