Operation Caldera (A Tim Gallan Thriller)

Life hasn’t been the same for Tim Gallan as the old adage of ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ becomes a way of life. He and his team are once again tasked with missions that appear seemingly impossible to complete. Of course it’s hard to say no when you’re asked by the President himself as well as by a high-ranking government official who happens to be Tim’s aunt. With almost 4 million square miles to search, suitcase nukes, highly vulnerable electric power grids, and a U.S. national treasures to worry about, Tim Gallan and his team, along with the assistance of a world-class hacker and a rogue-AI computer, face impossible odds, unlikely allies, and surprise twists that foreshadow events that almost certainly will prevent the team from coming away unscathed. If those problems weren’t enough, their adversaries range from North Koreans to right-wing militias, as well as one of the ‘alphabet’ agencies that seem to switch back and forth between being a friend or foe. The team, as readers of the Tim Gallan series have come to know well, continue to display all the strength and quirkiness of a close-knit family coupled with some very unique characteristics ranging from enigmatic, bad-ass, cranky but deadly, master fixer, and lethal.
