Alan J. Murray

A Captive Audience
​The specter of being caught up in the middle of a terrorist act no matter where you go or what you do is at the very core of why extremists plan and commit such things. Their one goal is simply to invoke fear in the general populace to further their aims. 

But how far will they go and how dastardly will they be? Unfortunately, recent events have shown that there is no limit to their imagination and practically anything is conceivable. We've seen countless attacks around the world by these groups and their operatives on government buildings, military installations, transportation facilities, and infrastructure. What's next? Major sporting events, theme parks, universities, religious institutions, more airliners and trains, or perhaps even cruise ships? There's no telling.

In An Eye for an Eye, author Alan Murray provides a journey into the world of military special operations and espionage as U.S. Navy SEALs, CIA analyst Allan Anderson and his reporter sister, Susan Anderson, find themselves caught up in a terrifying hostage crisis played out on a cruise ship drifting near the Bahamas. 

From the White House to the U.S. Embassy in London to a submarine in the Atlantic,  Allan and Susan draw on everything they have—including their quick-thinking and fast-acting friends—in a high-stakes push to win the release of the cruise ship captives. 

Drawing on historical insight and present-day military tactics, this thriller takes you from the abstract realms of domestic and international policy to their very real application at home and abroad.  

​An Eye for an Eye takes the reader on a multifaceted effort to free American tourists held hostage on a cruise ship near the Bahamas. Luck, skill and timing all converge to win the day in this chilling, cleverly spun scenario based on the technological and political realities of today.
