The Price of Innocence

“A FIRST-RATE SUSPENSE THRILLER.” – FOREWORD CLARION REVIEW (5 STARS)

“COMPELLING.” – KIRKUS REVIEWS

In the decade since their younger sister’s death, James and Ian Lawrence have drifted apart – James to pursue a steady but humdrum career as a CPA in Kansas City, Ian to go adventuring off to Leipzig, Germany, for his doctorate in economics. But when Ian mysteriously disappears while researching the economics of organized crime, James must take a leave of absence to look for him. Risking everything, he embarks on a perilous journey across Europe, digging deeply into the business affairs of some very private, very dangerous people. But in the search for Ian, he discovers a brewing revolution that will shock the world – and change what he sees as his own place in it.

High End

After taking command of a carrier strike group deployed to the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish tensions reach the boiling point when ships are lost under mysterious circumstances. With Flip’s strike group in the region, Russia flexes its muscle, first with airpower, then with a naval deployment the volume of which the world had not seen since the Russo-Japanese War to deny the West use of the North Atlantic. Tasked by Washington to confront the onslaught, Flip must maneuver his forces to avoid detection and be in position to strike first when the order comes. When overhead sensors are denied, the action reverts to a traditional detect-to-engage slugfest in three-domains, a high-end fight at sea between two nuclear-armed navies that holds Europe and North America at risk.

“Suit up, strap in, and hold on. Equal parts fuel and adrenaline, you are about to be catapulted into a high-g world of modern aerial combat. Aviation action-adventure has a master, and his name is Kevin Miller.”

Jeff Edwards, author of Steel Wind

“Flip Wilson is back! Kevin Miller delivers again in his latest carrier aviation epic with our new favorite hero. If you loved the Raven One trilogy, you won’t be able to put High End down. Mission accomplished!”

Vincent Aiello, host of The Fighter Pilot Podcast

“High End is a sweeping saga of today’s warfare on the high seas that plunges readers into the adrenaline-fueled world of carrier pilots and naval combat. The catapult fires on page one and the afterburners stay lit to the end. I’ll read anything Kevin Miller writes!”

Jack Stewart, retired Navy fighter pilot and bestselling author of Unknown Rider, a Battle Born Thriller
