Jason Brisben had carved an extraordinary life for himself as the model modern-day warrior, a most wily competitor in the deadly game of covert combat, a man whose exploits had earned him access to power in high places and a fortune to gratify his every desire, except the one desire he yearned for most—to leave the life of a warrior behind.

Though Jason has turned his back on a career as an undercover operative in the war against terrorism, his growing frustration at his emotional inadequacy—fueled by a failed love affair—makes him ripe for a reprise of his dangerous role. When his close friend Jack becomes the target of a mysterious murder plot, his instincts kick in and the game is on.

With its complex plot, finely drawn characters, and all-too-possible crisis, DEATH of a WARRIOR delivers an action-packed thriller—perfectly spiced by a sensual love story—that keeps the reader in suspense until the last page. While author Stephen M. Hannemann’s sophisticated style and clever plotting make this debut novel a page-turner, the soul of the story can be found in his flawed but unforgettable hero. As Jason struggles to confront and defeat demons within and without, his journey takes him through the pain of self-discovery and, ultimately, into the triumph of redemption.

In DEATH of a WARRIOR, Stephen M. Hanneman has woven a wickedly clever plot, full of unexpected twists at every turn. Yet, beneath the action and intrigue of this well-crafted thriller lies a deeper battle—the one Jason must wage to discover his soul and shape his own destiny.

Fast-paced and thought-provoking, DEATH of a WARRIOR takes the reader on a wild ride through an ever-changing psychological labyrinth. It’s a journey not to be missed.
