Caribbean Counterstrike

Mission: Five days to fight for his life—and the woman he loves—before a catastrophic weapon is unleashed. 

Coast Guard officer Ben Wyporek has been tasked with a seemingly impossible mission: infiltrate a fortified Caribbean island to rescue a ship taken hostage by a criminal drug cult and prevent them from unleashing a devastating nerve gas. But with his crew aboard the stealth-equipped cutter Kauai, Ben must battle the island's ruthless adversaries and his own fears to save his crew and reunite with the love of his life, Victoria.

From the Caribbean to the depths of Ben's courage, Caribbean Counterstrike is an action-packed adventure full of thrilling missions, sweet romance, and the powerful bonds of friendship. Fans of military thrillers like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series will be captivated by this story of heart-stopping danger and daring heroism.

If you enjoyed the first book in the Cutter Kauai Sea Adventures series, Caribbean Counterstrike will have you on the edge of your seat. For those seeking a heroic tale of courage and love, this book is a must-read!

"The USCG Kauai and its crew are back for another fast-paced thriller in Caribbean Counterstrike by Edward M. Hochsmann, the second installment of his Cutter Kauai Sea Adventures series... Hochsmann's meticulous prose continues to hum with lived experience and authenticity, while the relationships onboard the Kauai only deepen in complexity. Despite the patriotic nature of this swashbuckling series, there are also moments of brutal honesty about the challenges and issues within the US military – from unwieldy chains of command to the expendable nature of dedicated servicemen. The author's ability to craft a blockbuster story while weaving in critical themes of trust, honor, and independence is a testament to his nuanced perspective on the complex subject matter."  Self-Publishing Review

"With plenty of challenging missions, including the face-off with the drug cartel and crime syndicate, Caribbean Counterstrike takes readers on a wild ride. The story also comes with a sweet subplot as Ben and Victoria try to start a relationship while dealing with the constant distance and danger they often face."  Encarta Publishing
