Mightier than the Sword
Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
When his old friend and former fencing instructor dies suspiciously, Agent Henry Bride uncovers a string of deaths connected only by a piece of software. Clue after clue puts Bride closer to an intricate network of death that includes a major assassination as only its first step. With the clock running out, Bride is faced with a villain no one has heard of, a killer who isn’t exactly human, and a plot that will require every ounce of his strength and cunning to survive, as Agent Bride must prove there is nothing mightier than the sword.
Book Bubbles from Mightier than the Sword
Break-in
From Chapter 6 > "My Lucky Day". Greene is based on a real person who actually once had to confronted intruders while naked and wielding a broadsword.
The Tully Memorial
From Chapter 4 – La Belle The fencing match—although it works well as an action sequence—is essentially my gambling scene. The rules of “the Tully Memorial” are based on actual matches my fencing teacher had had when he was younger.
Jekyll
When I first visited Jekyll Island, we waded out to the shrimp boat at low tide. My last visit the beach covered all but the boat's mast. The sunken shrimp boat was apparently named the Mary Ann—never name a boat after a Gilligan's Island character.
Book Opening
I love great opening lines, and this is my attempt to do my own.
