Crosswind 5: African Heat (Book 1)

This book is a high energy, action packed read based on a little known niche in the insurance industry. High profile travelers and those who do business in dangerous parts of the world often buy comprehensive medical and tactical extraction policies. These policies guarantee that if the policy holder should become injured, ill or abducted, the insurance company will provide assistance in the form of highly trained, experienced operator teams to perform global medical and tactical extraction services. These teams are almost always made up of ex-special forces personnel. These teams are made up of hand-selected men and women. They may be called on one day to rescue a mountain climber with a broken leg from the top of Mount Everest. The next day they can be sent to Angola to negotiate the release of a hostage held by rebels. If negotiations break down, they will be tasked with forming a direct action assault plan and executing it to liberate the hostage! These types of events go on every day. Rarely heard of and never reported on. Enter this secret and exciting world of global intrigue.

This series of books will feature story lines based on real events. The places and names have been changed and, where necessary, the author has fleshed out the accounts to help the reader experience the challenges and dangers of this unique field more personally. Some of it is true, some of it is fiction, but all of it is nonstop, heart pounding action.
