Nolan Gray is an elite soldier, skilled in all forms of combat. After years fighting on foreign battlefields, witnessing unspeakable evils and atrocities firsthand, a world-weary Nolan returns home to find it just as corrupt as the war zones. Everywhere he looks, there’s pain and cruelty. Society is being destroyed by wicked men who don’t care who they make suffer or destroy.
Nolan decides to do what no one else can, what no one has ever attempted. He will defend the helpless. He will tear down the wicked. He will wage a one-man war on the heart of man, and he won’t stop until the world is the way it should be.
The wicked have had their day. Morality’s time has come. In a culture starving for a hero, can one extraordinary man make things right?

I can’t wait! There is a certain appeal to vigilante justice but humans inevitably do it wrong. I’m eager to see your take on it!
I can’t wait for Vigilante to come out..I’ve followed your books from the beginning..every time is an amazing experience..
World War I served as part of the backstory of Bulldog Drummond, the Spider, the Shadow, and other outlaw/vigilante heroes.
Veterans turned vigilantes then turned into a scarce genre. Very few vigilantes had World War II backgrounds, with something of an exception with Mike Hammer and the Werewolf by Night vigilante the Hangman.
Numerous vigilante series and novels used Vietnam as part of the backstory of the protagonist. (Billy Jack somewhat led the way in this regard.) Novels such as those featuring Mack Bolan and films such as the two Exterminator films represent examples. (The Death Wish vigilante stood as too old to have served in Vietnam.) Later conflicts did not inspire many vigilantes. Wild Dog served in Beirut, but the Gulf Conflicts did not serve as part of the backstory of many, if any, vigilante series.
This book cover is great – plot fantastic – looking forward to reading.
