We received the following press release. --RL Has the Jihad begun? Nash Devon sometimes wished he were back in the Carolina swamps instead of tromping the Iraqi deserts and mountains with the French woman. His Grandma had told him to follow the eagle and watch out for the crow, but the hawk and Renee had led him to the mountains of Iraq. And why was the crow cawing so loud, Devon wondered, as the Iraqi sighted down the rusty AK barrel? Behind the Green Water is the story of Nash Devon, a Carolinian claiming ancestry back to the Croatan Indians and Sir Walter Raleigh’s Lost Colony. Devon had been hailed as a hero and damned as a murderer in the Gulf War, then haunted over the years by his actions. Assigned back to Saudi enroute to the UN weapons inspection team in Iraq, Devon is shanghaied by US military intelligence and sent to the Northern Iraq Sanctuary Zone for duty with the UN High Commission for Refugees as an agricultural advisor. Devon’s real mission is to locate a hidden Iraqi nuclear research facility. In his search Devon discovers more than he bargained for: a nuclear conspiracy and an opportunity to have the family he thought he had lost forever as Renee Granwin deciphers the riddle of the tablet, an encrypted message described by the monks as the Image of Christ. Is there a contemporary image of Christ - contemporary meaning created in His own lifetime? If one exists, who and what would it portray? A majestic man, ruler of all? A humble teacher and his flock? A father surrounded by family and friends? What Nash and Renee find will make your faith soar as they escape behind the green water. J. M. Taylor served with the 101 st Airborne Division as a platoon leader and battalion commander. Airborne and air assault qualified, a scuba diver and trained as a system engineer, he designed military command and control systems in civilian life before he turned to writing. Using his background in nuclear weapons and extensive travel in the Far and Middle East, Europe and across the States, he packs a ton of adventure into an action-filled page-turner. ...Nash Devon in Behind the Green Water will remind you of Harrison Ford’s movies roles - Jack Ryan facing down international terrorists who threaten nuclear war...Indiana Jones with a beautiful woman and a worldly-wise kid searching dark tunnels for archeological treasures...and escaping to discover the greatest treasure…and danger…of all....
