The Balkans and Mideast, a region very much in the news today, is the setting for this action novel, “Operation Medina. This fast paced action thriller takes place in the not too distant future. Turkey, a once western-style democracy and NATO ally has undergone a violent revolution and has been transformed into a radical fundamentalist Islamic dictatorship. Her fanatical leader, General Muhammad Kemal, has contrived a devious plan to restore the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans and unite the Islamic world under his evil rule. To accomplish this, General Kemal will launch a devastating war with all the tools in his arsenal including Jihadist Islamic terrorists and WMDs. His first targets are Greece and the few American forces stationed in the region.

With the launch of his attack, the region is immersed in a bloodbath with no end in sight, other than the total annihilation of Greece and the few US Air Force fighters and security forces led by Colonel Jack Logan, which come to the aid of the Greeks. All the major players will have to come together, in the end, to destroy the madman or face a possible nuclear Armageddon if they fail.
