Brigadier General Anthony Tata

Listen to "Brigadier General Anthony J Tata Ghost Target" on Spreaker. Nicholas Irving, New York Times bestselling author of The Reaper and Way of the Reaper, has joined forces with Brigadier General (ret) Anthony Tata to bring an explosive new saga to the Reaper series: REAPER: Ghost Target - A Sniper Novel(St. Martin's Press, on sale date May 8, 2018, $26.99). As New York Times bestselling author Marc Cameron states, these are "two guys who have walked the walk and definitely know how to talk the talk." Nicholas Irving was the first African American to deploy in the G.W.O.T. as a sniper in his battalion, and served in the Army's Special Operations 3rd Ranger Battalion 75th Regiment as Sniper Team Leader. Anthony (A.J.) Tata, retired Brigadier General, commanded combat units in the 82nd Airborne and 101st Airborne Divisions and the 10th Mountain Division, earned a Bronze Star Medal in Afghanistan, and is the author of seven national bestselling novels (including the Captain Jake Mahegan and Threat series). In REAPER: Ghost Target, Vick Harwood (aka Reaper) is on a strategic mission in Kandahar to take down the number one threat to U.S. soldiers - a mercenary named Khasan Basayev. When the mission ends in a surprise attack on his position, it falls to a rescue team to take out Harwood's comatose body, leaving behind the young "spotter," Sammie Samuelson, who had disappeared. Three months later, the Reaper is on the mend. His spotter is considered DUSTWUN - "duty status - whereabouts unknown," and he's beginning to fall in love with Jackie Colt, an Olympic-winning rifle specialist who he befriended in Kandahar and who rallied to his side while he was recuperating. His memory, however, is faulty and he suffers from blackouts. The first two occur while he is out on fitness runs, placing him at the right time and place to have perpetrated two assassinations of Army generals. And with that, a complex and multi-layered game of intrigue begins. As the evidence - and murders - build against him, Harwood finds himself on the run from the FBI, the Army, MLQM - a multinational corporation, and Basayev. Amping up the tension is the discovery of a young teenager he rescues from sex slavery, the re-emergence of his young spotter, Samuelson, the absence of his new girlfriend, Jackie Colt, and his inability to know who can be trusted.
