THE THIRD OPTION
Jack Sloan was living a comfortable life with his new wife, Susan, until the unexpected happened: a yacht belonging to a couple with some striking similarities and some undeniable dissimilarities to Jack and Susan floats close to shore with no passengers on board. Jack and Susan are immediately thrown into a whirlwind of events and choices that may lead to friendship and happiness or culminate in total disaster.
Between searching the Caribbean for billionaire Guy Atkins and uncovering a conspiracy that could lead to the destruction of the earth, Jack learns that life is fraught with decisions and that there is always an alternative option that is the right course to follow. Join new author Carson Brannan as he chronicles Jack’s adventures and discovers The Third Option.
Excerpts:
1. When Jack and Susan were awarded ownership of the boat, they decided they had two options; they could sell the Fair Winds, which would have made them a pretty penny, or they could keep the Fair Winds and just go on with their lives, but after reading the ship’s log Jack and Susan realized there was a third option…
2. Jack turned the Fair Winds into the wind and put out a sea anchor because the wind was too strong and the seas were too big to try and sail her, the best Jack could do was keep her bow pointed into the wind.
3. I could start digging and find out just who was responsible for this horrific act. We really didn’t have to think about it. As an investigative reporter, there was no other choice but the third option.
FROM A KA-BAR
TO THE CROSS
This is the story of a man who grew up on the unforgiving streets of South LA. with little hope of a decent future. After High School, he found himself in the U.S. Army where he discovered that he was not only a good soldier but was exceptionally talented in the use of his KA-BAR. Sergeant Kenneth Wilson fought in the jungles of Vietnam and got a reputation as being tough as nails. He also enjoyed carousing and chasing women whenever he got R&R. His world was turned upside down during a battle that change him forever. So began his journey from a KA-BAR to the Cross.
Excerpts:
1. “Come on Sarge, call in an airstrike and let’s get out of here.”
“No Jack, I won’t call for a strike until I have visual confirmation. It could be a South Vietnamese unit.”
2. No radio, no way of signaling for help, outnumbered ten to one, and we weren’t even supposed to check in for another hour. I knew this would probably turn out to be one of the worst spots that Jack and I had ever been in.
3. The sun was climbing higher in the sky. The sky was blue and cloudless, and on any other occasion this would have qualified as a beautiful day, but all I could hear, running through my mind was, “this is a good day to die”.
