Bøger af John Conrad

John Conrad is not your normal soldier. In fact there is little about John that could be considered normal. His tendency for anti-socialism combined with his out of the box ability for problem solving, make him the perfect candidate for fixing the problems that the US government causes in its foreign affairs. John's unique ability to influence people's minds without trying presents him with equally unique problems. And the more people he upsets, the more his reputation worsens. All John really wants to do is to lead a normal life and do normal things like normal people. But there always seems to be the one smart Alec who has to upset his brain and make things uncomfortable. For both men and women alike he's the most dangerous man they'll ever meet. But for completely different reasons.
