After 13 books published with New York houses, my first e-book original novel, "Ballistic," is out today for $2.99 on Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords.

A Nuclear Missile...

A Band of Terrorists...

And Only Two People Who Can Prevent Armageddon.

When a doomsday cult captures an U.S. Air Force missile base, it's up to a lowly sergeant and a female psychiatrist to prevent a nuclear holocaust. My late friend Stephen J. Cannell described the story as "'Die Hard' in a missile silo."

While researching the book, I watched the launch of a test ICBM from the command capsule at Vandenburg Air Force Base and laid my hands on a nuclear warhead. But no riding the bomb like Slim Pickens in "Dr. Strangelove."

There's a 7,500 word free excerpt on KINDLE NATION DAILY with this comment:

"Are you ready for something new? Imagine Paul Levine channeling Tom Clancy, but with a sense of humor and far, far better writing."
