What Readers Are Saying!
4.5 Review from our book reader
I hope that these stories not only entertain you but also reflect the sacrifice of those in uniform, the pressure of wearing a uniform, the weight of a command, and the affection behind every farewell.

James Markwell
The most precise and accurate depiction of special operations I’ve read in a long time. Merrill’s artistic creativity nails the tactical reality and the cost of human lives.

Natalie Hughman
It’s not just a military thriller; this feels like a love letter to the families who sacrifice behind the scenes. Ellie and Evie broke my heart in the best way.

Questions from My Readers
Who are these books for?
These books are for readers who enjoy action and adventure thrillers that combine military action intermixed with family adventure and deep web sleuthing.
Will there be a series?
Yes, Operation Phantom Hawk: Ambushed is the start. The sequel, Operation Phantom Hawk: Cartel Justice is following up in early 2026 and a spin-off is also in the works.
Where can I follow you?
You can follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn, X and YouTube. Also, visit my ‘About us page”. A detailed biography coming soon.
Do I need to read the books in order?
- It is not required to read the books in order, however, book two will continue the action from Operation Phantom Hawk: Ambushed. A prelude in book two will provide readers a brief overview, however readers will benefit from reading Operation Phantom Hawk: Ambushed first.
- Subsequent books may be theme connected, therefore, may stand alone.
