Publisher Description
Tom Locke goes inside ISIS territory in this military action thriller.
Tom Locke is on the run from Apollo Outcomes, a private military corporation run by the treacherous Brad Winters. While working undercover on the frontline of ISIS-infected Iraq, he is approached by a middleman looking to find a missing Saudi Prince.
What Locke doesn't know is that the young Prince may be carrying a secret agreement made with the Pakistanis in the 1960s, and that his father may be trying to topple the Saudi government.
Who is the mysterious Saudi who hired Locke's team? Is the prince's disappearance personal or political? And all the while a duplicitous adversary much closer to home waits for his chance to strike…
A compulsive and explosive thriller, Deep Black is perfect for fans of Rob Sinclair, Daniel Silva and Tom Clancy.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McFate and Witter's strong sequel to 2016's Shadow War finds mercenary Tom Locke operating as a "slum merc" in ISIS territory north of Mosul, Iraq, after being betrayed by Brad Winters, his boss at Apollo Outcomes, a high-end military security company. Since fighting ISIS pays nothing, Locke and the remnants of his team Boonchu "Boon" Tripnet and ex-SAS commando Wildman decide to accept a lucrative offer from Prince Abdulaziz, a member of the Saudi royal family, to locate a missing grown son who may be in Mosul. The elder Abdulaziz is plotting to make his family indispensable to the Saudi government in an effort to outmaneuver his rivals for the throne. The ensuing combat scenes are as good as any in the business. The authors are particularly proficient at tossing off one-liners ("Combat is like heroin. Even after it's worn you out and thrown you away, you need more"). By the end, Locke finds himself in even more trouble than he was at the start. Satisfied readers wouldn't have it any other way.)
