Bernie Minihan of the CIA is faced with several urgent tasks: First, identifying the strain of a highly contagious disease long thought eradicated from existence other than a few tightly controlled cultures in the U.S. and the old Soviet Bloc. Second, piecing together the trail of the cultures from high security onto the black market to release in the U.S. And third, identifying how many more cultures are unaccounted for and who is controlling them.

John V. Tieso takes you on a riveting ride from the Centers of Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, to the culture labs of Samarqand, Uzbekistan, to terrorist organizations in Cairo, Egypt, in France, and in the United States. He gives an insider's view of the new Homeland Security system in action from the top echelon of decision makers to the cop on the beat. He delves into the terrorist culture with the insight and knowledge of only someone with his experience could render and gives the reader a full understanding of what could easily transpire on any given day.

Includes a Foreword by Vin Weber,  Member of Congress  (1981-1993) R-MN

Action / Espionage
Travis Martin last saw action as a Marine sniper in Vietnam - until he was medivacced out as a mental case. Now stateside in Georgia, his ongoing combat is to never again care about anyone, or anything, and to forget the horrors of war which he excelled at.

When George Mitchell arrives at his door, wheelchair bound from saving Travis' life, Travis knows that George is the one man he can not deny a favor, even if it means traveling to Africa and rescuing George's Missionary grandchildren from Muslim slavers, and even if it means practicing the art of death that had nearly driven him to insanity before.

With the help of some old Squad buddies and a few modern day Survivalists, they put together a mission of insertion and extraction. But it is Travis and Travis alone who must accompany a questionable and illegal band of African rescuers into Sudan and the very heart of the Janjaweed - Devils on Horseback.
Joseph and Jane Matthews celebrated their Fortieth Wedding Anniversary in 2009. They are the proud parents of four sons and two grandchildren. Both Joseph and Jane are members of the Florida Writers Association. Their book, Janjaweed - Devils on Horseback, is a fulfillment of a prophecy made by a man of God over Joseph one Sunday almost thirty years ago.

Joseph served his country and fought in the Vietnam War. During his tour, he worked for a Colonel on general staff and traveled throughout the country on courier assignments. He saw heavy action during the Tet offensive of 1968 when his base was overrun by the Viet Cong forces.

After his tour of duty, Joseph enrolled in the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) and received a BS Degree in Computer Science. Joe worked as a technical writer for over five years, authoring several dozen technical manuals, technical newsletters, and instructional documents. He is presently employed as a Systems Analyst. His hobby is ocean kayaking.

Jane graduated Paterson State College (currently renamed the William Paterson College of New Jersey) in 1968. She is a certified teacher with a degree in Mentally Handicap, Learning Disabilities, ESOL, Reading Endorsement, and General Education K-6. Jane enjoys encouraging and educating children to reach their potential. She has been teaching at the same elementary school for twenty years. Her interests include reading, especially Christian Historical Fiction, gardening and walking for exercise.
