About the Book

The little girl bled in her father's arms as pursuing soldiers fired. Rounds CRACKED past as Marines at the Embassy gates shouted and her father begged... All the while, her eyes were on me. What would you do? Jackson Ford's a disgraced former governor who recognizes a second chance when the president's chief of staff dangles it. The president needs an ambassador in a third-world nation. Someone to help local tyrants stamp out insurrection while keeping privation and violence out of the election-year news. Ford is a tough idealist, but, this administration makes it clear that they don't want idealism. They want one thing. Obedience. When a rebel leader shows up outside the embassy gates with a wounded child in his arms, Ford can watch the girl bleed out or invoke the wrath of dictators and the president. Ford's decision puts the embassy under siege. He and the Embassy Marines are outgunned by the army outside their walls, and betrayed by the enemies within. Ford doesn't know if history will liken their stand to the Alamo or to Bastogne, but he does know they will not betray the ideals that should stir in the heart of anyone who sees the American flag aloft and under fire.

Review :
"The story is fast paced, and the action is the kind that keeps you glued to the page... You feel as if you are there. What a pleasure." - Review: Goodreads "MUST READ - A superb political thriller and redemption story wrapped into one, the characters and pacing make it almost impossible to put down. The Ambassador is a must-read for any fans of political or military thrillers." - Review: Reedsy Discovery "Reads like a patriot's dream. Great American protagonist, a driving plot, credible setting, and an unforgettably cinematic conclusion. Surprised it isn't a movie yet. I'd be first in line!" - Review: Goodreads "The siege scenes of the Embassy are realistic and the attempts of the Malagar military and its citizens to overrun the Embassy are fast-moving and action-packed. This story caters to both the poetic and the adrenaline junkie equally. I enjoyed the read and can recommend it." - Review: Readers' Favorite "Rife with political intrigue, beautifully written, psychologically deft, and even philosophical at points, The Ambassador is a thoughtful, exciting read... Unflinchingly told, The Ambassador is a riveting winner." - Review: Goodreads "A thoroughly entertaining book. The characters are well developed, and have good depth. In addition to the well-developed characters portrayed in the book, the author touches on themes of government corruption, corporate malfeasance, child labor and the plight of the poor in third world countries. The story line is well paced, with plenty of action towards the end, and the conclusion leaves you wanting to know what happens next to the protagonist. I look forward to the sequel." - Review: Goodreads "I started reading this in the morning and stayed up until 1:30 AM to finish it! The writing is beautiful, and the protagonist really grows and changes throughout the book. He goes from being a washed-up politician with a drinking problem, to a heroic ambassador willing to die for his beliefs. The story builds gradually at the beginning, then keeps you on the edge of your seat until the nail-biting conclusion. Lots of action. Excellent read!" - Review: Goodreads
