In Warrior Spirit, Running to the Sound of Gunfire a young Airborne Ranger is shot off of his motorcycle while attempting to rescue 1000 American medical students on the Caribbean island of Grenada. 15 years later, a four man Special Forces team is attacked by an angry Serbian mob while on peacekeeping missions in the former Yugoslavia. Gunfire erupts, and the Airborne Ranger kills his Serbian brother. His son is born with a rare blood disorder and dies at age nine of an aneurysm while on a family hike in the Rocky Mountains.
The above events, plus many more, inspired the author to write this 398 page novel. Warrior Spirit is based on his true-life story: that of a modern day Special Operations Warrior. The story is not all blood and guts and appeals to both male and female readers. It takes you through slow, rural ranch life and the marriage of high school sweethearts to exotic adventures with the United States Special Operations Command. Every emotion from love to fear to humor keeps the pages turning.
