Unnecessary Evils

Quirky Captain Curran, warrior, adventurer, philosopher and orphan from Philadelphia, thought his botched search for an energy weapon in Panama and the Caribbean was strange enough (more fishing, surfing, sailing adventure than mission), but now someone's wife is dead, his best friend is missing and the whole team is surrounded by evil. You can always count on your friends, comrades and superiors...or can you?

Tom Curran and his best friend Constantine Caraballo are two army soldiers from Philadelphia, with two different backgrounds. One is an unmarried orphan raised by the Catholic Church with friends all over the world, while the other is married and from a big Italian family that he knows as his whole world. Their quirky special operations team gets assigned to a government agency for the purpose of tracking down an energy weapon, and things don't go as planned. Trouble seems to come at the team all at once and they find themselves searching for a friend, protecting themselves from evil and uncovering the corrupt forces working against them. Their travels take them to places like Philadelphia, Cuba, Panama and Jamaica, and they travel on boats, helicopters and airplanes in search of a friend, an energy weapon, good coffee, good surfing and fishing and the truth behind who wants them all dead. Although they're surrounded by adversity, they relish the adventure and realize the only way to survive is to stay together. They move from crisis to faith as they discover and overcome the depths of evil and corruption around them. The story is a dynamic adventure tale about friendship and brotherhood in the face of adversity, life and death, good and evil, keeping your sense of humor, and getting some payback!
