Alex Lukeman is a former Marine and professional musician who lived in Scotland, although his family comes from all over the British Isles which is probably why he appreciates the UK’s history, music and culture.
He loves old, fast motorcycles and has restored many including a Norton Commando. Alex still plays the guitar, but also writes action/adventure thrillers featuring the PROJECT, an elite Presidential counter-terrorism unit. There are to date 13 PROJECT books. Alex now lives in the Sierra foothills of Northern California.
White Jade – Feb 2012
This is the first of the PROJECT books which spins a web of deceit and murder across the globe, against the backdrop of a deadly international power game.
Former Recon Marine Nick Carter is a man with a dark history of emotional and physical scars. He works for the PROJECT, a covert counter-terrorism unit reporting to the President. Selena Connor is a beautiful, strong and skilled linguist. When her wealthy uncle is murdered by someone looking for an ancient book about the elixir of immortality, she’s thrown into Nick’s dangerous world.
Nick is assigned to protect Selena and help her recover the missing text. It’s the beginning of a life and death adventure reaching from San Francisco to Beijing, from Washington to the hidden chambers of Tibet. Someone is determined to take over China and attack America–and Nick and Selena are right in the line of fire.
International intrigue, terrorist acts and the threat of nuclear war form the core of this fast-paced thriller, the first volume in a series featuring Nick, Selena and the PROJECT.
