For Morgan Buckner, guard duty at Abu Ghraib prison turns deadly during the fall of 2003 when his only friend is murdered during a prison riot. The young soldier exacts his revenge in a manner that elicits valuable information from the murderous prisoner but violates the Geneva Conventions. When the information pays dividends that save American lives, General Robert Tannerbeck must decide whether to put the welfare of his men ahead of international law and his own personal honor. But when U.S. Marines capture an American journalist embedded with Sunni terrorists, the resulting chain of events leads to corruption at the highest levels of the military, within Congress, and at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Throughout it all, General Tannerbeck fights a losing battle to retain his honor, while Buckner comes to embrace the concepts of Duty, Honor, and Country.

In Richard H. Dickinson's Love Noir, readers are drawn immediately into the unspeakable. Beginning with Eric Duval, a French political powerhouse, and his incestuous relationship with his daughter, Margaux, the story builds in tension as Duval takes a wife and his unstable teenage daughter turns to murder. From her lustful and loneliness-driven childhood to an adult life of deception and self destruction, Margaux engages the reader, evoking equal amounts of anger, rage, and compassion. Dickinson extends the tension level of his gritty story with a computer hacker who stumbles upon family secrets ripe for blackmail. As the plot twists and turns, readers discover a world as foreign as it is fascinating: France's beautiful and powerful, willing to do what it takes to save reputation and family honor. This story holds amorality, murder, and redemption, everything required to constitute a thriller of a love story.

27 January 1968 The Viet Cong call him Black Ghost. Jackson Monroe is the finest American sniper in Vietnam's treacherous Mekong Delta. Dispatched for a classified "illegal" mission on the Cambodia border, Monroe succeeds beyond expectation, only to be abandoned behind enemy lines and left for dead. Now Monroe's superiors need his lifeless body, back and bagged, to prevent their own court-martial. But a cunning VC marksman knows better-clues indicate the Black Ghost stalks very close. And this American sniper must be killed before he compromises the North Vietnamese Army's meticulously planned New Year (Tet) offensive. Snipers both, these two "silent men" cat-and-mouse through the delta terrain, a verdant landscape rendered brutal by political intrigue and harrowing firepower. And when American commanders discover Monroe may be alive, the brass must make an impossible choice-whether to rescue or kill him. In the tradition of William Craig (Enemy at the Gates), David L. Robbins (War of the Rats), and Stephen Coonts (Flight of the Intruder), The Silent Men is at once subtle, sharp, and devastating. Richard Dickinson's superlative writing, brilliantly realized characters, and tick-tock action make him the point man for the next generation of military thriller.

A fictional answer to Black Hawk Down, The Warlord is a pulsating military thriller set against today’s special ops war in Afghanistan. --------------- Meet three-star general, Jackson Monroe, a character very much based on four-star general, Colin Powell. What would happen if a polished middle-aged man like Powell found himself shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan and surrounded by the enemy? Can a “soft” political general who has spent decades inside the corridors of Washington now become a hardened survivor, killer, and commander inside a war zone? Loosely based on Xenophon’s The Persian Expedition, The Warlord tells the story of former sniper Jackson Monroe (The Silent Men) a man who must follow and then lead a ragtag unit against adversary after adversary as they try to make their way across hundreds of miles of hostile territory. Evading, feinting, fighting, and then avenging, Monroe finally finds the commando he once was and the commander he always wanted to be.
