Announcing Gary Grossman’s Executive Command Blog Tour
Posted by admin on January 19, 2013
ABOUT EXECUTIVE COMMAND
The clock is ticking down to an attack on America’s most vulnerable natural resource: Water.
Our nation’s water resources are high on terrorist target lists, but low on America’s consciousness. Water sources are largely unprotected, providing open access to any enemy with chemicals and biotoxins.
So far we’ve been lucky. But that luck won’t last.
This is the all-too-real-and-present danger facing President Morgan Taylor and Secret Service Agent Scott Roarke as they desperately try to prevent hell-bent terrorists from destroying America and its infrastructure city by city, and state by state.
Fact-based in frightening detail, Executive Command is a political thriller that will leave you pondering its strong possibility the next time you pour a glass of water.

Moving at break-neck speed, Executive Command is nothing short of sensational.

Executive Command is not just a great book, it’s a riveting experience.
So well written, I found myself re-reading sentences
