Press, is the author of the New York Times bestsellers A Higher
Call and Spearhead and the critically acclaimed Devotion. Inspired

military writers," according to the Los Angeles Times. In the
course of his research, he has flown a World War II bomber,
accompanied a Special Forces raid in Iraq, and journeyed into North
Korea in search of an MIA American airman. Visit him online at
