Westerville, Ohio - Back in 1994, Army Sergeant Anthony Wilson was thrust in the middle of a plot to break into the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox. He helped to thwart the plans of Hans Reinhardt, who vowed revenge.
     Six years later, two nuclear hard drives are missing from the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory. A nuclear warhead has been reported stolen and sold on the black market in Kazakhstan. Hans Reinhardts perfect plan of revenge is almost complete.
     In this sequel to Kevin Grovers critically-acclaimed debut novel Strike Hard, Hans intends to detonate a 50-megaton warhead in Tonys hometown. It would destroy portions of three states and kill millions.

     Strike Swiftly, released by PublishAmerica, explores a series of events which possibly surrounded the disappearance of two nuclear hard drives from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2000. Mr. Grover has crafted the story with the skill of a master, and has posed two questions to the reader: Is Strike Swiftly a work of fiction? Has our government been straightforward with its citizens concerning the events which happened that year? Was our nation at risk from nuclear detonation?

     Strike Swiftly is a taut, suspenseful adventure that explores the possibilities of what could have happened two years ago. It also explores the possibility of actions such as this being undertaken by extremist groups, and how the government will stop at nothing to continue the illusion of security in our nation. With terrorist organizations reportedly gaining access to nuclear material, and with former Soviet-bloc nations still unsure as to the status of their nuclear arsenals, this novel is both entertaining . . . and frightening. Especially when one looks at the possibilities in place on the world stage today.

     The story of Strike Swiftly picks up shortly after the events in Strike Hard. Tony Wilson is out of the military and a member of the FBI. Nathan Hooks is retired and living happily back in Michigan.
     Hans Reinhardt wants revenge. His plan in 1994 having fallen apart at the meddling of Wilson, Hans is feeling the sharp claws of failure. Add to that, his grandson is being held in a federal prison for the burglary attempt. Hans seeks revenge and is determined that he will have it - at all costs.
     The clock is ticking and the plan moves ahead. Nathan and Tony must once again find the clues. However, there is more at stake this time than billions of dollars . . .

         Millions of innocent lives also hang in the balance.
