New Releases by Mike Tucker

Inspired by the magnificent bossa nova classic "Wave" by the great Antonio Carlos Jobim and by the rugged, beautiful ancient coast near Cascais, Portugal, this is WAVE by Mike Tucker, a brilliant, compelling work of poetry and his 26th book. The only writer of his generation compared to Hemingway, Mike Tucker returns to his roots as a poet--he received Honors in Poetry in 1982 & 1983, while a young poet and writer at James Madison University--and celebrates the spirit of bossa nova in WAVE. A poet, novelist, lecturer and former mercenary, Mike Tucker is the only foreign writer in China since 1949 to lecture on the legendary guerrilla war commander and revolutionary, General Huang Hua, and was interviewed five times on the celebrated, nationwide "Poet and the Poem" radio program on the Pacifica network in America by the Poet Laureate of Maryland, Grace Cavalieri, during his apprenticeship as a poet and writer in Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s. He left America in 1992 to get his dreams as a writer and carried out extensive fieldwork in the rugged, remote highlands of Northern Thailand for his novel SPARTACUS DID THE RIGHT THING, the first of many journeys in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Near East. Mike Tucker has lectured on America foreign policy, counterterrorism, guerrilla war, the Chinese Revolution, the origins of the Vietnam War and literature in the United States, China and Southeast Asia. The Visiting Scholar on Counterterrorism at James Madison University in fall 2006, he was on missions with American snipers in the Near East and Hindu Kush after September 11th, in the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, and was under fire with Spanish counterterrorists in the historic Siege of the Banco Central in Barcelona in 1981. Mike Tucker''s most recent book of poetry, FIRST LIGHT, is a BEST BOOKS OF 2018 selection by the WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS. He lives in North China and Portugal.

FIRST LIGHT "There are no old roads to new destinations . . . follow your road." Mike Tucker A stunning work of poetry, FIRST LIGHT is a brilliant meditation on journeys of the heart--as Mike Tucker says in FIRST LIGHT, "You are the answer to your own dreams/Have the courage to live them." Inspired by his journeys in Europe, the Near East, the Hindu Kush, Southeast Asia and North China, FIRST LIGHT is a fresh, compelling meditation on gratitude and a point-blank assault on Trump by Mike Tucker, an American counterterrorism specialist and the only writer who was on missions with American snipers in both the Near East and Hindu Kush after September 11th: "Stand for an America where three year old children do not stand crying and alone, ripped from the arms of their mothers and fathers, in tears and in rags, scarred for life now because Trump only cares about three things-- money, money and money-- Stand against Trump and take a stand for America, Ride with justice and you will never ride alone." Mike Tucker

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.

This is HAWKINS, a raw, no-holds-barred thriller and a searing meditation on justice. Praise for Mike Tucker "A brilliant Depression-era thriller that could not be more real or compelling, HAWKINS is a quick, riveting read. As a native of the American Southwest and retired FBI special agent who spent most of my career on the East Coast, I was drawn to HAWKINS mainly out of curiosity. From the first sentence, it became vividly clear that Mike Tucker''s down-to-earth and hard-hitting style brought back to life the memories of vice, corruption and prejudices prevalent during my youth in the 1930''s. The characters in HAWKINS are authentic and unforgettable and presented with conviction, passion and attention to detail that fully secures the reader''s focus. There is so much injustice in the world and the damn truth is, there always has been. But as Mike Tucker says in HAWKINS, "You cannot win the fight alone, but if you stand for justice, you will never fight alone." And that is the heart and soul of this great book, HAWKINS." Cole Russell, Flagstaff, Arizona "NOMAD is a classic journey story and a magnificent epic -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.

„Teda, pochybuju, že kdy uvidíme většího brouka.“ Gabby Nicholsová právě ukládá svého syna do postele, když vtom zaslechne volání dcery. „Maminko, mám v pokoji tatíka dlouhonožku!“ A pak začnou výkřiky... Alan Travers míří domů z hospody a něco mu hrábne do obličeje – pavučina. Ze stínů se vyvalí cosi obrovského a smrtícího... Kevin Alperton je na cestě do školy, když vtom ho napadne komár.

Když je vesnice odříznuta od vnějšího světa a s hemžícím se hmyzem začíná jít vážně o krk, je Doktorovi jasné, že tu není v bezpečí nikdo. Ledaže by se mu podařilo rozluštit podivné znaky vyryté v prastarém kamenném kruhu a objasnit záhadu sahající až do druhé světové války.

SARTORI A novel by Mike Tucker Literary Fiction: Espionage/Action-adventure The first novel to rip the lid off the American "No covert ops inside Saudi Arabia" of the last 70 years, SARTORI is a wild ride, a journey into the world of counterterrorism spies, mercenaries, covert operatives, many of whom are Muslim and are crucial to the hunt for the number one Islamic State financier in Northern Saudi Arabia, The Sheikh. SARTORI, which means "moment of enlightenment" in Zen Buddhism, is the sequel to Mike Tucker''s thrilling novel, SPARTACUS DID THE RIGHT THING, which was compared to Ernest Hemingway by the African Correspondent for THE SUNDAY TIMES of London, Miles Amoore. In the summer of 2015, three counterterrorism mercenaries of the British Secret Intelligence Service find themselves on the mission of their lives, behind enemy lines in Northern Saudi Arabia, aided by a brilliant Moroccan covert operative and a Saudi operative--code name, Naomi--who do not hesitate to bring their deep understanding of Arab Beduoin culture to aid the mercs. Raw in its combat, scintillating in its action and intrigue, and not lacking in humor and satire, SARTORI is a thrilling spy novel by the only writer of his generation who has been compared to Hemingway--Mike Tucker.

"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."

Gabby Nichols sta mettendo a letto il suo bambino quando sente sua figlia chiamare a gran voce. “Mamma, c’è una zanzara enorme in camera mia!” Poi, inizia a gridare... Kevin Alperton sta andando a scuola quando viene assalito da una zanzara. Una bella grossa. E la faccenda si fa pericolosa. Tuttavia, non è il cadavere imbozzolato dentro a una ragnatela gigantesca a preoccupare il Dottore. Non lo innervosiscono nemmeno gli insetti mutanti che sciamano incontrollati. Mentre gli insetti si fanno sempre più minacciosi, il Dottore si rende conto che se non riuscirà a decifrare gli strani simboli incisi su un antico circolo di pietre e a svelare un mistero risalente alla Seconda guerra mondiale, nessuno sarà più al sicuro. Un racconto originale con il dodicesimo Dottore e Clara, interpretati da Peter Capaldi e Jenna Coleman.
