In this third installment of the Jake Fortina global thriller series—set predominantly in Italy—US Army Lieutenant Colonel Jake Fortina and his Italian Carabinieri bride, Sara Simonetti-Fortina, must each face deadly threats from different enemies. Meanwhile, Jake's decision to seek a change in his life’s mission turns out to be far more momentous than expected. Jake’s new mission will require him and Sara to face criminal and dark international enemies head-on, and to seek the assistance of his closest allies while employing his vintage resourcefulness and agility. Will the assistance provided by a highly trusted US Army sergeant and a Ukrainian Air Force colonel be sufficient for Jake Fortina to accomplish his mission? "More hair-raising twists and turns than a Calabrian road, Change of Mission is the best Jake Fortina novel yet." Michael Frost Beckner, Hollywood screenwriter and executive producer. "Like its Jake Fortina predecessors, Major Jake Fortina and the Tier One Threat and Jake Fortina and the Roman Conspiracy, this high-speed novel immediately immerses readers in gripping drama, action, and adventure." Command Sergeant Major (USA Army, Ret) Daniel Pinion, Iraq war veteran and award-winning author "Everything personal and professional about Jake Fortina's history converges - like a cluster bomb - in a crescendo in the story's climactic finish." Major General (Italian Carabinieri, Ret) Sebastiano Comitini, former Commander, Carabinieri Special Intervention Group
