CLANDESTINE "Moses is in Egypt. And he''s your Moses, mate. Your wife is a little worried? Tell her there''s a reason James Bond works for us." "The threat is real. We are looking at 20,000+ dead in Hamburg. Get all our deep covers up in Europe, now."u003eMike Tucker, from CLANDESTINE In the heart of Northern Saudi Arabia, British Secret Intelligence Service clandestine operatives hunting Islamic State financiers take on a mission that has profound consequences for Europe, the Near East and America in CLANDESTINE, a thrilling, politically-charged novella that could not be more urgent, compelling or provocative. A riveting tale of espionage and intrigue, this is CLANDESTINE by Mike Tucker, a counterterrorism specialist on the Arabian Peninsula for seven years and the only writer who was with American snipers in both the Near East and the Hindu Kush after September 11th. Praise for Mike Tucker "NORTH CHINA BLUES is a classic journey story and a raw, vivid espionage and war novel with a powerful affirmation of justice and love -point-blank, gripping and poignant, a story that we would not know except for Mike Tucker''s journey among the farmers and fishermen in North China. The Chinese guerrilla fighters, revolutionaries and spies have their say and could not be more real, convincing and authentic. Lyrical and compelling, reminiscent of THE ODYSSEY, I could not put it down. Bravo, Mike Tucker." Mark Chambers, hunting guide, Northern New Mexico "SPARTACUS DID THE RIGHT THING is one of the novels that has won Mike Tucker''s prose just comparison to Ernest Hemingway. Tucker''s short, energetic sentences are stripped down and laconic, lending a rhythm and directness to the narrative that immediately recalls Hemingway." Miles Amoore, the African Correspondent THE SUNDAY TIMES www.amazon.co.uk "If Hemingway were alive, he would be buying drinks for Mike Tucker all night long, for Tucker''s vivid, moving first-hand account of a 250 kilometer deep reconnaissance behind Burmese Army lines, THE LONG PATROL, pivots on those quintessentially Hemingwayesque themes of armed men fighting to survive against overwhelming odds, and simply battling against the elements. Outstanding." Jim Algie, Editor, author and journalist. Untamed Travel. "CHINATOWN is a quick read, a wild tirade, and a historical investigation all at once. In that it ties Trump to some of our worst international impulses over 100 years of history is an achievement. And it does so with fire." Will Layman, jazz musician, critic and educator. Washington, D.C.

"We did not defeat the Nazis in order to lose to the jihadis. Strike and kill the ratpunk jihadi motherfuckers 24/7, we never close. Take the bastards down. Fight and win a clandestine war. Kill the jihadis, now." MIKE TUCKER "There is only one law of war in the Near East: Last man standing. . . Jihad is not a part of Western culture. Jihad has been the enemy of the West since the First Islamic Crusades, in Europe, when jihadis conquered nearly all of the Iberian Peninsula with sword and fire, and raided France and Italy. Radical Islamic values are NOT Western values. And life ain''t worth living without jazz, whiskey and women. Kill the jihadis, kill them dead and kill them now. Take the bastards down. Permanently." MIKE TUCKER KILL THE JIHADIS is a riveting, provocative and compelling global counterterrorism strategy to defeat and destroy Daesh (Islamic State), Al Qaeda, Lashkar E Taiba and all jihadi terrorists. The most point-blank and no holds barred critical analysis of the Pentagon/CIA''s "Long War" strategy that has failed since September 11th, 2001, KILL THE JIHADIS calls for a Declaration of War on Daesh and all jihadis, with shoot to kill authority at all times, and rips the lid off of America''s unofficial agreement with Saudi Arabia that led to the tragedy of September 11th--the "No US Covert Ops" policy, vice Saudi Arabia. KILL THE JIHADIS reveals exclusive counterterrorism operations that provide a template for America and the West to stop jihadi terrorists dead in their tracks, before they can load a Kalashnikov, before they can strap on a suicide belt, before they can drive a suicide bomb vehicle and before they can communicate with any other jihadis, to plan and execute jihadi terrorist assaults. The Islamic State jihadi terrorist slaughterhouse assault on Paris on November 13, 2015 did not have to happen, just as September 11th was not inevitable. KILL THE JIHADIS states plainly and clearly that Islamic State has a mother and a father--the mother of Islamic State jihadis is Jihad and the father of Islamic State jihadis is Saudi Arabia. Until there is a complete and total Islamic Reformation that renounces JIHAD completely and removes JIHAD from the Koran, as Mike Tucker argues eloquently in the most direct, thorough and critical analysis of the failure of America and the West to defeat and destroy jihadis since September 11th, the West will continue to be at war with Jihad--a war that the first jihadis began in the 6th Century A.D. KILL THE JIHADIS--kill the jihadis dead, kill them now and declare war on Daesh and all jihadis. As Mike Tucker says, "We did not defeat the Nazis in order to lose to the jihadis. We did not liberate Paris in August 1944 from the Nazis in order for the jihadis to massacre people of all faiths in Paris in 2015. And my generation did not win the Cold War in order to lose this one. Kill the jihadis. Now."
