Introduction
In the first collection, The Complete Delta Force Shooters, I included five stories that explored the world of the Delta Force snipers. All Delta Force operators are top shooters, but to be a sniper is a skill above and beyond even the “average” elite soldier.
However, Delta Force, the United States’ most elite counter-terrorism team, is so much more than its shooters. They are specialists in undercover work, extraction-and-rescue missions, capture, and even “simple” tracking. Explosives, weapons, infiltration…the list seems unending.
In this collection, I explore some of these other skills as my warriors fight for their lives—and fall in love. For some, the voyage is dangerous and gritty, for others perhaps a little more fanciful.
But I still sought to hold true to my core intent of discovering more about the warriors and their skills.
These may not be the “shooters”, but they were certainly both a joy and an education to write.
Lightning Strike to the Heart
Hal Waldman’s next assignment: skydive through a storm into hostile territory. The mission’s greatest risk? His own jump partner.
Teresa Mann, on special assignment to assist Delta Force, must make a leap of faith.
Nothing prepares them for when they both take a Lightning Strike to the Heart.
