About the Book

Tom Anderson joins a naval reserve intelligence unit to raise some extra cash for his struggling law practice. But his previously uncomplicated life gets turned upside down when he's ordered to investigate the death of a detainee in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Things get worse when a young Marine's suicide leads to the discovery of a mysterious ship in Havana Bay, and Tom's small band of warriors find themselves trapped behind enemy lines. Will they make it home alive?
About the Author: As a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, Tom studied foreign affairs, became fluent in Portuguese, and completed a rigorous science and engineering curriculum. As a result of his outstanding Portuguese language proficiency, he was accepted into the prestigious Service Academies Foreign Exchange Program, where he served with both the Brazilian and Portuguese navies, including a cruise on the Portuguese tall ship "Sagres." In conjunction with his foreign affairs studies, he took and passed the United States Foreign Service Officer's Exam. After graduation from the Naval Academy, Tom received orders to flight school, where he completed flight training and was designated a Naval Aviator. He deployed on Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises, attaining the designation of Aircraft Commander. He was a squadron instructor pilot, and was certified as a Nuclear Weapons Transshipment Pilot. His awards include the Sea Service and Battle Efficiency ribbons, and the National Defense and Navy Commendation medals. Upon leaving active duty he earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the Temple University School of Law. After law school, he served in the U.S. Navy Reserve while managing a successful law practice. His assignments as a reservist included tours with the U.S. Fleet Intelligence Center, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and intelligence support assignments at Naval Air Station, Sigonella, Sicily. His duties as a naval intelligence officer included Latin American geopolitical analyst, airborne anti-submarine warfare operations specialist, Foreign Language Intelligence (Portuguese) Translator, and Fleet Intelligence Operations Center Officer-of-the-Watch. He retired from the Navy with twenty years of active and reserve service. In 2005 Tom accepted an offer to fly Sikorsky S-61 helicopters at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) on Andros Island, Bahamas, and to serve as the AUTEC Director of Aviation Safety. Tom is a helicopter airline transport pilot, with type ratings in the Sikorsky S-61 and the Boeing BV-107; a helicopter certified flight instructor and a helicopter certified instrument flight instructor; as well as an instrument rated commercial airplane pilot. He has established a helicopter world speed record for flight between Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and West Palm Beach, Florida, USA, as certified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale and the National Aeronautic Association.
