A CHRISTIAN THRILLER SERIES FOR AGES 10-16 - Jack Reacher meets Frank Peretti
He swore an oath to his country. He never expected his country to declare him the enemy.
Sergeant Luke Carter is a Marine's Marine: disciplined, dedicated, and guided by a quiet but powerful faith. His job in counterintelligence is to spot threats, but he never thought the biggest threat would come from inside his own command.
When a hushed, late-night conversation reveals a deadly cover-up, Luke is plunged into a world of shadows. His commanding officer, a decorated and ruthless Colonel, is running a secret blackmail operation, code-named Serpent's Tooth, and Luke knows the truth.

Now, he's a man on the run.

• Framed for Treason: With his face branded on the news, every soldier on the base has orders to hunt him down.
• Hunted by His Own: The Colonel he looked up to wants him silenced, permanently.
• A Brother in Chains: His best friend, Staff Sergeant Mike Nevele, is captured and tortured, paying the price for Luke's discovery.

With only a skeptical NCIS agent as a potential ally and a single data file as his weapon, Luke must fight back. But how can one man, cut off and alone, expose a conspiracy that reaches the very top?

A Note for Parents: This series was created to provide the kind of books the author wished he had growing up: thrilling, intelligent, action-packed stories without the compromise. While the situations are intense, the books contain no gore, cursing, or immoral content. The Luke Carter series is designed to champion courage, faith, and friendship, delivering all the suspense of a mainstream thriller in a clean, uplifting package.

Serpent's Tooth is a new, clean, fast-paced thriller that explores what happens when one man's faith is tested by the ultimate betrayal. Perfect for young Christian readers!
