Here's the set-up:
White Jade is an action/adventure thriller, plain and simple. A brutal
murder and a missing two thousand year old book about the First Chinese
Emperor sends Selena Connor to the PROJECT, a small, elite black ops
unit that reports only to the President. There she meets Nick Carter, a
former Recon Marine with a lot of bad memories.
What begins as a
simple journey to recover the book turns into a series of life and
death confrontations for Nick and Selena. The plot winds from Washington
to California, to Beijing and the High Himalayas. Nick must confront
his emotional resistance to getting close to Selena, while Selena has
never been under fire or had people trying to kill her. It's a steep
learning curve for both of them.
At risk is America, China and the future of the world as we know it.
One Reviewer Notes:
The reader is transported from DC and California to the magical and hidden enclaves of Tibet, and along with page turning thrills, historical facts and details are so deftly interweaved, as to created more of an amazing experience as opposed to simply reading a novel.

About the Author
I'm a former Marine and musician. My first book was a Sword and Sorcery novel, "The Bane of Kanthos", published as an Ace paperback in 1969 under the pen name of Alex Dain.
I live in Northern California in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains. I like riding old, fast motorcycles, sipping Barbados rum and playing guitar, usually not at the same time.
I write action/adventure thrillers. WHITE JADE is the first in a series featuring the PROJECT, a covert, small intelligence unit reporting only to the President. THE LANCE is second in the series, the third is THE SEVENTH PILLAR. BLACK HARVEST is Book Four. Book Five, THE TESLA SECRET, is now available. Book Six will come out sometime in 2013, probably about mid-year
