After a four-year stint in the Marine Corps, Scott Pritchard should have left government service. The dreams were getting worse. But he talked himself into applying for top-secret security assignments. Finally off the active duty rosters, his head was crowded, jam-packed tighter than sardines in a can, and he was sure the monsters were coming for him. Some people called him an insane son of a bitch; he knew he was just unfocused. And now the military wanted him for a special assignment. R&D had blown open the inner gates of hell, and it was up to Scott to close them. He could've told them the monsters were coming for him.

Jack Thigpen works in Detroit, nicknamed The Motor City, the perfect place for a fraud investigator who specializes in car insurance scams. He is on a case he believes is a typical, low-level crime, but it quickly turns into a situation with ominous international consequences. Ironically, as he is targeted for death because of his investigation, Jack is diagnosed with a fatal disease that is untreatable, a disease that will end his life within months. And instead of killing Jack, the hit man shoots Jack's best friend. Struggling to come to terms with his impending death, Jack vows to track down his friend's killer. It's a race against time before the neurodegenerative disorder can take root and limit his ability to think and act. And so Jack enlists the aid of his brother, Tom, a taxidermist with a den full of dead animals, which Jack now sees in a new light. Tom jokes that he and Jack can be a superhero team fighting evil. Jack doesn't want to endanger Tom, and so he directs his brother to do background investigations while Jack injects himself into the physical one-on-ones necessary to dig deeper into the case. Jack plunges into the world of corrupt car dealerships, chop shops, and fraudulent auto repair shops. He is soon swept into the darkness of Detroit's criminal underbelly to uncover the truth about power struggles within organized crime rings. Death is staring him in the face, but Jack doesn't back down. He pushes ahead, plowing through perilous roadblocks planted by his enemies, propelling himself toward the finish line and a teeth-gritting, heart-pounding conclusion.

Surrounded by military personnel with a paramount sense of patriotic duty, Warren Capshaw kept foremost in his mind that he was a civilian. He could quit if the crap got too deep, an option not afforded to military grunts, a term that in his mind included officers. The U.S. Army was a buffer zone for him, keeping the sludge of humanity from his doorstep. Entry into this part of Fort Belvoir was restricted. Balls had to be bar-coded to get this far. He would not allow Sarah Love to disrupt his CIA assignment. He would show her and the others. All he had to do was ignore the haunting memories locked within some unmapped room in his mind – memories so horrible that he hid them even from himself. One day he would open that room – if only to destroy it before it destroyed him. Doug Hewitt is an internationally published writer of fiction, with more than 50 stories in print. During his years in the U.S. Marine Corps he learned about "black box" military projects. Area 51, still not acknowledged by the government, is an example of a "black box" weapon development program explored in SPEAR, his first novel.
