Blurb Blitz + #Giveaway: Recall by David McCaleb @McCalebBooks @GoddessFish
Recall
by David
McCaleb
GENRE: Contemporary
Thriller
BLURB:
Meet Red Harmon, a
special ops veteran who learns he never left the call of duty . . .
To a trio of muggers,
Red looks like just another suburban dad. But when they demand his wallet at
knifepoint, something snaps. In the blink of an eye, two muggers are dead, the
third severely injured, and Red doesn’t remember a thing. Once an elite member
of the Det, a secret forces outfit whose existence is beyond classified, Red
thought his active service was over.
But his memory is
coming back—and a lethal killing machine is returning to duty . . .
Facing an unthinkable
nuclear threat, a volatile international power play, and a personal attack
against his family, Red has no choice. He must rejoin his old team, infiltrate
the enemy camp, and complete the biggest mission of his life . . .
Excerpt:
Tony “Red” Harmon yawned as he
rubbed burning, fatigued eyes with a palm. His cuff slipped back from his
watch. 9:47 P.M. Too late for the family to be out. Nick dragged his feet on
concrete, cheeks puffy, hand gripping Red’s index finger. So tired he didn’t
even ask for a treat as they walked out of Walmart, past the candy machines. He
looked up, snot glistening under a pink nose. Red winked at him, surprised yet
again how his son looked like he’d cloned his mother’s eyes.
The shopping cart was full of things
they needed, but didn’t want. School supplies and vegetables. A wheel with a
flat spot clacked a steady cadence as Red pushed it under a rush of warm air
blowing from above, into the January chill outside. How’d he always end up with
the broken ones? He pushed with one hand, straining his wrist to keep the thing
straight, pulling Nick with the other. He stepped slowly, careful not to slip
on the frozen pavement. Just ahead, little Penny held Jackson’s hand so tight
his fingers were turning blue. Her head was high. She was obviously pleased Dad
thought she was mature enough to guide her younger brother through the perils
of the parking lot.
Hope his fingers don’t go numb, Red
thought.
