The Path Of Ronin

THE PATH OF THE RONIN is a hard-hitting military thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and what happens when a warrior has no master left to serve.Chief Petty Officer Steve Hanson comes home to Anchorage after years in Southeast Asia, discharged before he is ready to stop fighting. He is a Navy SEAL without a team, a man trying to find purpose in a world that feels cold and unfamiliar. When Steve is recruited into Frank Billings' private security firm, he believes he has found a new brotherhood and a clean mission: protect the client, finish the job, go home. But one violent incident pulls him into the city's underworld, and a "simple" escort detail turns into an organized ambush that proves someone is watching, planning, and leaking information from the inside. As the stakes climb, Steve is forced to confront the truth: the Firm is operating in a much darker arena than he was told, and the people closest to him may be tied to a wider war with global consequences. Far from Alaska, enemies gather and wait and Steve realizes he is being pulled toward a final reckoning where love, duty, and survival collide. In the end, Steve must choose what kind of warrior he will be. A soldier who follows orders, or a ronin who makes his own code.Perfect for readers who love:¿ Military and special operations thrillers¿ Private security and covert missions¿ High-stakes betrayal and man-on-the-run tension¿ International terrorism plotlines and relentless pacing
