Notes: The first three books of the Peter Newman series, Heroism in the Pacific and The Heroes Who Defeated Hitler were co-authored by Joe Musser. Under Fire was co-authored with William Novak. One More Mission was co-authored by David Roth. True Freedom was co-authored by Brian Smith. American Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam was co-authored by Chuck Holton.

I read Counterfeit Lies as my first ON novel. I went and picked up the Peter Newman series now as well and have just finished Mission Compromised and I’m on deck to start Jericho Sanction this evening. Easy read, good stories, and I am certain there are some ghosts in those story lines. I remember watching the IC hearings back in the day as I was on afternoons. So far I recommend Lt. Colonel North’s books!
Just finished Heroes Proved and it scared the poo out of me. It’s like looking into the future of this country, leaving the feeling of hope instead of doom. Very well written and very good read. Thanks Mr. North for your service to this country and thanks for the good books. I plan to read your other boks.
