No Other Option

Through his fictional characters, Marcus Wynne tells the story of America's covert intelligence organizations and the people who inhabit that dark world. And he tells it as it will never be told in print, except as a novel... though none the less true, even if the form is called fiction.NO OTHER OPTION tells the story of the people who are sent to do America's dirty work, and this story gives great insight into how they do it. This book is not just peppered with the jargon of our covert operatives, not just descriptive of the weaponry, but gives the reader insight into the how these inhabitants of that dark world think. It may be told as fiction, but it's all fact.Fans of thrillers get a bonus with the publication of NO OTHER OPTION. It marks the first novel by a covert operator who knows how to write... and a writer who truly understands covert operations. Marcus Wynne may be writing fiction, but this is how it is in the world of covert intelligence organizations, and he goes to great lengths to help us understand the thinking and actions of those that have lived the life.G.

I write thrillers (THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE) and read a lot of them. This book really impressed me because of its authentic details. Marcus Wynne is a former paratrooper and Federal Air Marshal. He knows this territory on a first-hand basis, and he writes so vividly that he makes the reader feel in the midst of the action. Highly recommended.

Where has Marcus Wynne been all my literary life? For someone who loves special operations/military type fiction, this is an incredible book. I hate to use cliches here but No Other Option really is an "edge of your seat thriller". The reader feels as though he or she actually knows the characters. Wynne's ability to vividly portray Dale Miller, Jonny Maxwell, and Nina Capushek, completely blows the reader away. Mr. Wynne, if you read this, I'd just like to say (and I'm not sucking up to you here, I'm being honest) that I have never before read a book that mixes a Hemingway-like talent to vividly portray characters, their thoughts and feelings, with special operations scenarios. Also, I'd really like to know if the character of Nina Capushek is based on anyone and if so, may I please have her number? Nina is hot, tough, and funny at the same time, which is awesome. Dale and Jonny are great characters as well. Dale is not the typical fictional spec ops guy. Usually, they're portrayed as simply gung ho with no feelings. But Dale has emotions that make him so human. As for Jonny, I don't think I've read a book in which I feel sorry for the antagonist. Jonny is an amazing character. In short, if I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you so much Mr. Wynne! I can't wait for the sequel.

The president signed the executive order forming Dominance Rain, an ultra elite group of twelve operatives who made the SEALS, Special Forces and other upper echelon units look lie wimps. Very few people know that this cell exists as a cross between the military and the CIA handling special assignments. However, the cadre's top gun, Jonny Maxwell is convicted of rape and sent to Leavenworth based on the testimony of his best friend and fellow dog Dale Miller. ... NO OTHER OPTION is an exciting thriller that works on two levels. First off, the story line flows with bodies from the start, as Jonny has no remorse while killing. On the other hand, the plot asks a much deeper question as to why a highly respected individual goes bad, but Marcus Wynne cleverly avoids pat pseudo-psychological responses. Instead the audience has a winner that takes a suspense action packed chiller with provocative concepts to a level rarely seen by a veteran writer let alone a debut author Like Mr. Wynne.Harriet Klausner

Based on a true story, NO OTHER OPTION is about the nationwide manhunt for a special operator who goes "off the reservation" and becomes a serial ... murderer.
