Bob’s passion for creating thrillers and his background in the Special Forces has allowed him to mix fact and fiction with great authenticity.

In the historical fiction novels that he has written, Bob has blended the actual events of history with the fictional characters. This way, he has not altered the history, but has changed the origin of the historical events. The rich flavor in his writings can be understood from the fact that he has a great desire to study the past of his country and its effects on the future, which is complimented through his military background.

The plot of the novel deals with the idea of US Army Green Berets not only taking down the drug trafficking criminals but also betraying their own government. The Green Berets army is led by Dave Riley, who is ordered to lead the team of the Special Forces in Colombia along with unmarked uniforms and sterilized weapons. The Special Forces team is given the task of conducting covert raids on the cocaine processing labs and destroy them. However, the actual mission is not what they are thinking as the CIA also gets involved. The team gets double crossed by its own government and is thrown in an Israeli mercenary.
