Dan Kilmer is a former Marine sniper in his early thirties. He returned home from military service in the Middle East and gave college a try, but his combat experiences prevented him from fitting into campus life. In a South Florida boatyard, his uncle was attempting to refurbish an old cargo schooner, and Dan left college to help him finish the flagging project. After two years of work but before the sixty-foot boat was relaunched, his uncle fell from a scaffold and died. While still in his twenties, Dan inherited the schooner Rebel Yell. Soon after, he left the United States to embark on a series of voyages, mostly in pursuit of beautiful women and good times. While he was away from America, new federal taxes were imposed on luxury property, including privately owned yachts. Dan cannot pay these or other new taxes, so he can’t return to the States without risking confiscation of his schooner. Instead he must always fly under official radar and earn a living by his wits while staying one step ahead of the IRS and other government agencies. He must navigate the reefs of government control while always searching for a way to make money without the permission of the local authorities. This usually requires some type of shady dealing, subterfuge, and stealing from thieves as Dan moves from port to port. A shifting cast of crew members inhabits Rebel Yell, but the novel is about Dan Kilmer and his quest to live as a free man in an increasingly unfree world. In Castigo Cay, Dan must sneak back into South Florida under the radar to conduct a short-fuse rescue operation. The first hundred pages of Castigo Cay (and all of my novels) can be read on my website.
Kick Ass!
Thanks
Oh this is definitely on my to get list!!! I may beg an autograph on this one if you’d be so inclined for a fan.
Awesome!
The first one hundred pages is a teaser! If people read the first one hundred, they’ll definitely buy the book!
Best of luck! Sounds like a good book to order for the man in the house for Father’s Day.

are you publishing on itunes or anything?
Just ordered. Hope it arrives when I’ve hit the last page of Demonic.
I received my copy in the mail two days ago, and my dad got the copy I ordered for him yesterday. We’re both looking forward to the read!
Thanks Travis!
Sweet!
I have been wanting to get your books. Which one do you recommend for first time readers of your writings? I will put this one on my wish list at Amazon. Good luck!!
I don’t know if I can affrod to read your latest novel ... every time I read one of your novels, I spend too much time and money at the range, and end up buying more weaponry at the next gunshow! ... Then I sell it all anticipating the next gunshow. Right? Should I write the name of the buyer down next time so I don’t forget so easily?
I’m a prize winning author and college writing teacher myself and have read Matt Bracken’s books with a critical eye.
If you like fast-paced adventure novels I highly recommend his work. Besides, he’s one of FR’s own so give him some love and buy a book.
Thanks for letting us know about it.
Cheers
I just ordered it and it’s just in time for the hubby’s birthday.
