About the Author

James Rosone is the Amazon Top 100 bestselling author of the Red Storm Series and World War III military thriller series. He's an Iraq War veteran who served 3.5 years in a combat zone as a military interrogator and contractor. During his ten years in the military and eight years as a Department of Defense and Department of State contractor, he fought and hunted down Islamic extremists throughout the Middle East, Eurasia, and Europe.James has served in the J2 and J3 commands for US Central Command, US European Command, and US Special Operations Command in Florida and Germany, advising commanders on a variety of identity intelligence and biometric issues. He holds a Master of Science degree from the University of Oxford as well as an MBA. He's written technical articles for European journals and advised numerous European leaders in the fields of identity intelligence and biometrics. Through the years, I have escaped in the wonder of the written word; reading helped me to cope with the challenges of life and dream big dreams. My husband noticed that I had a "thing" for correcting grammar, and encouraged me as I edited papers for friends and then eventually edited the manuscript for "Dinner with a Terrorist." My experiences as the wife of a former military man helped to guide my work, and gave me insight to provide feedback to the author.Somehow, in the sleep-deprived haze that is being a working mother of two, I found the time to co-author my first book. A World War III series may not seem like the kind of book that a nurse with an MBA would draft, but "Prelude to World War III: The Rise of the Islamic Republic and the Rebirth of America" offers intelligent commentary on politics and world affairs. I hope you will enjoy reading this novel; perhaps we can all learn some lessons from what has been written here and prevent future tragedy on Earth.
