Mano. There’s a new cop in Hawaii, and he doesn’t take prisoners.
This is the tagline which I’ve used for Mano, a tough cop in Hawaii whose brief includes keeping terrorism out of Hawaii.
The tale is a post-9/11 piece and concerns the hunt for an ISIS terrorist cell intent on carrying out a dirty bomb attack on the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbour. The group is led by the fanatical Hakim, a Saudi terrorist who used to work as an executioner in his home country. When he finds out that there is a tough cop called Mano out to stop him, he makes a near-fatal error of judgment by ordering a hit on one of Hawaii’s top cops – a move that will bring in the FBI and Homeland Security – and makes Mano aware of the threat against him.
Mano is already a marked man because of his previous undercover work on the Chinese triads. His security detail has always been aware of threats made against him and is constantly in a heightened state of alert anyway. Mano has the cream of HPD already working within his squad, besides his security detail, experienced cops like The Seeker, Nui, and Pono. Together, they form a formidable team that Hakim will have trouble overcoming.
The story carries a lot of pace and action, and strong characterisation, which ultimately will propel the story forward to a nail-biting conclusion.

From the author of The Nationalists and The Scribe comes War, a mix of action and war stories, some with an Irish slant like The Pitboys, a tale of two young Irish lads working the coalmines of Tipperary at a time of great social upheaval – the Young Irelander rebellion and the Irish famine.
Many of the stories are told from the perspective of the Second World War, but not exclusively so. Stories about modern conflicts also surface – the Gulf War, the Yugoslavia conflict and the Israeli and Palestinian conflicts.
In a time of War, nobody’s innocent.
