Jordan Quest (A Jordan Quest FBI Thriller Book 0)
Fans of Catherine Coulter's Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock, James Patterson's Alex Cross and Detective Michael Bennett, Kay Hooper's Noah Bishop, as well as Dean Koontz, Sandra Brown and J.D. Robb are sure to enjoy the Jordan Quest thriller series.
A young girl returns from the brink of death with an incredible gift. Now, the dead have a voice... and law enforcement is listening.
When a young Jordan Quest is discovered lying on the bottom of the pool at her family's stately mansion she is pulled out of the water and pronounced "vital signs absent" by the attending paramedics.
Unwilling to give up on the girl, Jordan is rushed to the hospital in a desperate attempt to revive her. Teetering on the brink of death, aware of her surroundings but unable to communicate with the trauma team who are working frantically to save her life, a strange and mysterious presence makes itself known to her. In that moment, Jordan's life is changed forever.
She calls it The Gift, and her unprecedented abilities will have a profound influence on the world's understanding of psychic phenomenon. Hers is now the voice of the dead. And law enforcement is listening.
Racing against the clock to help police locate and bring to justice killers who have long evaded capture, Jordan soon discovers an unsettling truth. Is her astounding ability really a gift? Or is it a curse that brings with it unimaginable consequences?
This fast-paced series prequel also includes a six-chapter preview of "Intruders," book one in the Jordan Quest series. The Jordan Quest novels are best described as tightly-written, page-turning suspense mixed with witty dialogue and high-octane action adventure.
If you like stories featuring a tough-as-nails female protagonist and bad guy's you'll love to hate, the Jordan Quest series should be at the top of your 'must-read' list.

Pride. Joy. Pain. Sorrow. Just weapons. Weapons that can burn a man to cinders, or inspire him to greatness and beyond. For decades Frederick Lockland has wielded them against those who threaten the realm. Pride killed a tyrant. Sorrow ended a war. Passion united a fractured nation. When the ancient city of Reed falls, he must draw on his most powerful weapon.
Fear.
Dragons, Fire, Death and Intrigue.
Chapter 1: A Stone's Throw
"FUCK...I need you to check on Fort Reed," he said. "Cocksucker! He said nothing about this chaos, nothing about helping people. Just take this fucking message and bring back a fucking response."
"Wait, Master Rocious, where are you going? We need to help these people," said Sergeant Chaplin.
"What am I supposed to do, Chaplin? I'm attuned to fire! You want me to burn the fucking river?! Besides, they don't seem injured," said Master Rocious.
"We... I... But we need to do something to help them!" said Chaplin. Rocious let out a frustrated breath. Chaplin was recently promoted to the rank of Sergeant and was supposed to be in charge. But it seemed whenever trouble popped up everyone turned to Rocious.
"Fine. Send your men downstream, there is a shallow spot where they can start pulling them out of the river. Tell whoever can walk to head east to Dominion."
"Yes, sir," said Chaplin.
"Where is that pompous twit Werval and his beautiful horse?" asked Rocious.
"It's Lord Werval, and I'm right here."
"Oh, well get your horse. Ride back to Dominion and tell Dominick to prepare for a lot of people. Have him send supplies to meet us on the road. These people are going to be starving in no time," said Rocious.
"We left Dominion two days ago, now you expect me to ride back?" asked Lord Werval.
Ignoring Werval, Master Rocious continued, "I'm headed to the Fort to find Count Reed and figure out why thousands of his people are floating down the fucking river."
"Yes, sir, but how do you know these people are from Fort Reed?" asked Chaplin.
Master Rocious continued ignoring his companions, "Oh, and start questioning people, see if anyone knows what happened."
"Yes, sir, but what if we need you here, in case something happens?" asked Chaplin.
"In case something happens?! I know you are young but don't be stupid! Something already fucking happened, and I mean to find out what. Now get your head out of your ass and start solving problems instead of asking questions," said Rocious in exasperation.
Chaplin took a breath to order his thoughts, "Yes, sir, blond hair, warm clothes. They are likely from the mountains. The river here flows from... Fort Reed?"
Master Rocious swirled his hand encouraging Chaplin to spit out his answer, "Yes, it flows from Fort Reed. The real question is how thousands of people got this far down river, but that's my worry. Focus on getting them out."
With a salute Chaplin took off shouting orders to his men.
Master Rocious closed his eyes and began to focus his magical senses.
"You really expect me to ride--"
"FUCK, Werval. Yes, I expect you to stop wasting time and ride," barked Master Rocious.
Rocious's vulgar nature often made it difficult to distinguish between simple irritation and true rage. But Werval had known the man for a long time and was well aware that he could turn his rage into a bloodbath if pushed too far. Hell, Werval had seen him incinerate countless men when King Dominick unified the Duchies. Werval simply bowed his head and took off riding down the road.

Master Rocious closed his eyes and began to focus his magical senses.
"You really expect me to ride--"
"FUCK, Werval. Yes, I expect you to stop wasting time and ride," barked Master Rocious.
Rocious's vulgar nature often made it difficult to distinguish between simple irritation and true rage. But Werval had known the man for a long time and was well aware that he could turn his rage into a bloodbath if pushed too far. Hell, Werval had seen him incinerate countless men when King Dominick unified the Duchies. Werval simply bowed his head and took off riding down the road.

"Now two individuals from opposite ends of settled space are on a collision course with the darkest of those secrets, even as the world threatens to explode around them." The year is 2322. Humanity has expanded into the stars, inhabiting over 100 worlds across a third of the galaxy. Though thriving as never before, they have discovered neither alien life nor the key to utopia. Earth struggles to retain authority over far-flung planets and free-wheeling corporations while an uneasy armistice with a breakaway federation hangs by a thread as the former rebels rise in wealth and power. Alexis Solovy is Earth Alliance royalty, her father a fallen war hero and her mother an influential military leader. But she seeks only the freedom of space and has made a fortune by reading the patterns in the chaos to discover the hidden wonders of the stars. Nothing about her latest objective suggests the secret it conceals will turn her life- not to mention the entire galaxy-upside down. But a chance encounter with a mysterious spy leads to a discovery which will thrust Alex into the middle of a galactic power struggle and a sinister conspiracy, whether she likes it or not. When faced with its greatest challenge, will humanity rise to triumph, or fall to ruin?
