by G.W. Hawkins
"One Family. One Legacy. One Standard." To the outside world, the name Hawkins is a cornerstone of American military legend. A pedigree of heroes etched in blood and sacrifice: a grandfather who was a decorated WWII ace, a grandmother who operated in the shadows of the OSS, and a father forged as a frogman in the lethal, classified jungles of Vietnam with MACV-SOG. But that is only the surface. Behind the fortified walls of the Hawkins estate lies a factory of Living Weapons. The family’s reach extends into the deepest veins of national security—from the silent halls of the NSA to the elite cockpits of the Air Force, and into the ghost units of Delta Force. James Hawkins, the eldest son, is the finest instrument of destruction ever fielded by the U.S. Navy. The apex of the SEAL Teams, James operates with mechanical precision and a soul defined by Pressurized Silence. Yet, beneath the golden Trident, James battles a private darkness. He fears becoming the man his father was—only to realize the terrifying truth: he is far more lethal than his father ever dared to be. He does not fight for a flag alone; he fights to carry the crushing weight of his surname and to protect his siblings in a world where honor is treated as a disposable variable.
