One morning turned a gifted young scholar into the most dangerous man his country never admits exists.Madrid, March 11, 2004. Rex Dalton is two blocks from Atocha Station, carrying coffee for his family, when the bombs go off. In the space of a heartbeat he loses everyone he loves — and the future he had planned dies with them.What rises in its place is a weapon. From Marine boot camp to Delta Force to a black unit so secret even the President cannot name its operators, Rex becomes the ghost that terror financiers, arms dealers, and cartels whisper about: El Gato. Alshaytan. The Devil.Then a mission to Afghanistan's opium fields brings him face to face with two game-changers: a laid-back Aussie dog handler named Trevor — and Digger, the brilliant Dutch Shepherd who will change Rex's life forever. What Rex uncovers in the poppy fields snakes all the way back to Washington… and this time, the enemy may not be foreign.The Fulcrum is the explosive origin story of the Rex Dalton K9 Thrillers. If you love relentless heroes, real-world tradecraft, and a four-legged operator who steals every scene, start here — then continue with The Power of Three.Praise for The Fulcrum:* * * * * Read it in one day.
