Kudos to you sir, I'll place my order.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you. If you are talking about Vol. III, it will not be available until near the 1st of the year. The others are available now.

Please let me know what you think of the novels.

I truly believe that unless we are very vigilant, and unless we act very forthrightly and actively, we could face events similar to those I write of in these fictional novels. It is why I am writing them.

BTTT!!!

[firewalk]

Thank you for the ping Jeff.

Bttt for tonight...but I'll read tomorrow...when I'm more awake (-:

Best Wishes to you and yours

[Jeff Head]

Thanks for the BTTT.

... and from Breadon's Grampa (one year old of our oldest daughter) to Brad's Gramma, I believe you will really like Volume III of this series once you receive and get through Volumes I and II.

My third daughter has informed us (she was married earlier this summer) that my wife and I will soon have a second grandchild in March ... Kyra.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you for those best wishes. Very much the same to you and yours too.

This excerpt is representative of another potential source for terror and conflict in our nation after the proverbial balloons go up and it hits the fan in the series.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

[Duramaximus]

Very well written.

As someone familiar with Vandenberg, working for an Aerospace Contractor, I must say the reality of this happening is extremely unlikely.

Security at Vandenberg, and particularly its Pacific Ocean side, is very high. I will leave it to your imagination to visualize what it is like during the launch window.

Good read though...

Thanks for sharing.

[Jeff Head]

Agreed. I too believe in actual life that it would be very improbable ... but not impossible. In the series the Chinese are getting fed info from inside.

In addition, who (particualarly in the armed services) would have thought it possible that the sell-outs, treason and give aways that occurred during the Clinton years would have been possible or likely?

This is where those types of activities ultimately lead IMHO ... and worse as the series also illustrates.

Thanks for the feedback and Semper Fi!

[Jeff Head]

Thank you. We are certainly looking forward to Grandchild number two.

[philetus]

I've read 1 & 2. Great reading.

As someone who considers himself a connoisseur of fine novels i have to say that yours hit the mark. They are very well written and always grasp the reader with a tenacity that is hard to describe (it is hard to stop reading until the whole thing is finished).

The only thing that i find weird is that you are not yet as famous as Tom Clancy because in my opinion you should be! I am pretty certain instead of watching The Sum of All Fears I would rather been watching one of your Dragon's Fury novels made into a film. After all your novels are really really good (and i have read a lot of books and your are excellent).

[MrConfettiMan]

Very nice, Jeff. Very nice.

When I was working for NASA Goddard on the SMEX Program I had the privilege to go out to Vandenburg AFB to support the launch of the WIRE satellite. It's a very secure and very beautiful--especially along the coastline--base. The only part that didn't ring true to me, and I'll admit it's a nitpick, is that no launch ever goes off on the exact date without a delay so it was a little hard to believe the agent could've planned his vacation months in advance and still "been away" on launch day. I mean, think about it. How many families try to plan their trips to Florida to catch a shuttle launch only to be disappointed? However, I also admit author's are free to take whatever liberties they like with reality. :)

Once again, nice job, Jeff and company. Keep it up. Joe (MCM)

[Jeff Head]

Good point on the vacation. I need to reword that and will do so.

Best regards my friend. Hope you and yours are doing well. You are in our prayers.

[Jeff Head]

WOW! Thanks for the extremely kind words. They are too kind.

I am trying to send some messages in what I hope is an exciting and compelling story line.

Please consider, if you are so inclined, writing this review on Amazon and Barnes & Noble for either or both books. It would be greatly appreciated.

[Jeff Head]

How about this?

The holding room Johnny thought of was a small earthen room built into each of his escape tunnels that was stocked with enough provisions to maintain Johnny for up to two weeks. He planned to use every bit of it to wait out the intense search he knew would follow the downing of the booster. After that, he would carefully make his way off the base and then return to work after he recovered ftom his "illness". It was a flu-like bug that had suddenly taken him after getting the information and orders regarding the launch. It as an illness from which he would return voicing his own anger and incense at the attack on his beloved and adopted America.

Already updated the manuscript and the excerpt onm the site
