Team Alpha
by Gil Alligood
Team Alpha is a work of fiction written in response to terrorist acts. While events in the book are fictitious, they mirror real events. The world’s war on terror is trying to fight an idea and a principal that cannot be obliterated with words. The root of the problem is within the people who initiate terrorist activities. Team Alpha is composed of civilians working secretly for the President of the United States to identify people who are planning terrorist activities, primarily within the United States.
The main characters, Craig Johnson and his wife Kitty, first appeared in Gil Alligood’s novel Dark Paths to Light. At the direction of the President they formed a company, Alpha Planning and Consulting, Inc., that employs former government agents to secretly identify terrorists and terrorist groups. The information is then passed to another group, Team Omega, for disposition of problems.
Craig, Kitty, and agents of Team Alpha are Christians who are deeply bothered by terrorist activities throughout the world and what they find is necessary to thwart their destructive plans and activities that could produce human suffering.
Team Alpha is a hard-hitting story of adventure and intrigue that will keep readers excited and bothered at the same time.
