East River

Volume 1, The Chieftain Trilogy

"I witnessed September 11th, Bette. Right here. New York City. These kids I see every time I go running along the East River, they deserve to live long, glorious lives. And this is counterterrorism. I'm not paid to react. I'm paid to save lives."
"That sonofabitch Trump walked, Tommy. The ratpunk walked and those Q Anon ratpunk Nazis that seized our Capitol Building need to pay, they damn well need to pay. We didn't kill the Nazis in Europe to see the Nazis take power in our country in our generation."
"Mohamed, they call me the Chieftain, brother. God willin', we'll see the lions on the beaches. But right now, we've got work to do."
from EAST RIVER, @2021, Mike Tucker

A young, beautiful and wicked-smart lady fluent in four languages, a native New Yorker who finds herself in one helluva' jam on Valentine's Day Weekend, 2021, and discovers just how real karma is near the East River in New York City; a brilliant young NYPD Counterterrorism detective, born and raised in Hells Kitchen, a September 11th Generation veteran and former sniper; the Chieftain, the veteran counterterrorist and former Delta Force commando who leads a team of daring counterterrorists in Africa and around the world; Jean Claude Moulin, a brilliant French counterterrorist and the great-grandson of a legendary French Resistance fighter in WWII: This is EAST RIVER, a stunning counterterrorism thriller that takes head-on Trump, Q Anon and the domestic terrorists who launched an insurrection on January 6th, 2021 against the US Capitol. From East Africa to New York City, EAST RIVER rocks like a hurricane, details the real-world threat of suicide-bomb container ships and throws down on Trump like no other book. "Love is always enough," as Mike Tucker writes in EAST RIVER, and it's the September 11th Generation that shines in EAST RIVER, the first volume in The Chieftain Trilogy, a book that could not be more moving, compelling, gritty and romantic.
