Jake Keller finds himself in a familiar position—on the run for his life and desperate to find the shadowy figures behind a global conspiracy. CIA agent Jake Keller and his partner, Curt Roach, are in Yemen on an important mission. They've been tipped off to a secret meeting of top al Qaeda leaders. The plan is to interrupt the meeting with a few unexpected visitors—a pair of Hellfire missiles from an orbiting drone. But the drone stops responding to their signals and soon disappears over the horizon. When next seen, the drone is attacking innocent pilgrims in Mecca.  Jake and Curt are staggered. The U.S. government is desperate to disavow this atrocity. Who better to blame than a couple of rogue CIA agents? With all the governments of the Middle East looking for them and no help from their own side, they are in a desperate race to stay ahead of the mob and find out who's actually behind the crime. Praise for Rogue Strike “ Rogue Strike   doesn’t let up for a moment. There’s no time to sit back and catch your breath, because each chapter explodes with action.”—  New York Journal of Books “Zac Miller, the hero of Ricciardi's Warning Light (2018), has changed his name to Jake Keller, but he's still a badass… Fun fare by a talented storyteller.” — Kirkus Reviews “Thriller fans who have not yet discovered David Ricciardi are in for a wonderful new treat. This extraordinarily imaginative, very talented thriller writer is well on his way to becoming a giant in the field.” — Washington Times “Over-the-top action, a deadly conspiracy, and several well-timed twists make Rogue Strike  another winner from David Ricciardi, who delivers two back-to-back fun, hard-hitting thrillers out of the gate.”—The Real Book Spy Praise for  Warning Light   “Starts with a bang, and then gets better and better...one of the best thrillers you'll read this year.”—Lee Child, #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  The Midnight Line “A Ulysses-like odyssey...If only he'd run into a whirlpool and a monster, readers might mistake this adventure for a tale by Homer...Let's hope for more Zac Miller adventures.”— Kirkus Reviews “A fine thrill ride...The writing is lean and propulsive, the characters offbeat and interesting”— Booklist “This is a fun and heady combination of suspense and intrigue. Believable and provocative, it’s a tough-as-nails-tug-of-war definitely worth your time.”—Steve Berry,  New York Times  bestselling author of  The Lost Order   “ Warning Light  is a blazing thriller with relentless pace and impressive detail.

A keen outdoorsman, David Ricciardi incorporated many personal experiences into his work. He's backpacked through the mountains of the western United States and Alaska, received extensive training from law enforcement and U.S. special operations personnel, and once woke up for a two A.M. watch aboard a sailboat only to discover that it was headed the wrong way through the Atlantic sea-lanes in heavy weather, with one of the crew suffering from hypothermia. In addition to being an avid sailor, David is also a certified scuba rescue diver and a former ski instructor. ***This excerpt is from an advance uncorrected copy proof*** Copyright © 2018 David Ricciardi 1 The two men in the bed of the old pickup told the driver to step on it—they could survive a rough ride.

Known as Mullah Muktar, he was a quasi-religious leader who’d helped plan the September 11th attacks, then risen to become the leader of a violent extremist organization known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. And it was time to send him to Paradise. A wake of dust rose behind the pickup truck as it pounded over the dirt road. The monsoon rains usually turned the Wadi Bana into a flowing river that made life in Southern Yemen almost tolerable for a few months each year, but the rains had been light this season. The land was hard and dry. The driver switched on his lights as he turned onto a paved road. The town of Zinjibar loomed in the cracked windshield. Most of its buildings had been destroyed in the war. The air smelled of smoke and a fine dust that never quite settled to the ground. The senior CIA officer slapped the roof twice as they passed an open-air market. The pickup turned into an alley and slowed. He threw a goatskin satchel over his shou
