Marcus Cooper is right where he wants to be in his young life. He's just graduated from college and about to start an exciting and promising career in diplomacy. He truly believes that he can help make the world a better place, but he's about to find out that the road to peace requires a heavy toll. After traveling to Afghanistan with a DOD sponsored contractor outfit, Blue Leaf, Marcus starts a breakneck descent into a world of intelligence analysis, guerrilla warfare, and espionage. Packed with smart action and clandestine information gathering, Marcus Cooper's story in Captive Retribution follows the protagonist and his coworkers into a world where every answer only leads to more questions and their actions begin to set the stage for something they could have never predicted. One thing is for certain though: this is not what Marcus thought life after college would be like. Five years after Marcus's story begins, a man will wake up in a puddle of his own blood. He calls himself Winters and his life has just taken a traumatic turn for the worst. With his psyche shattered and his body broken, he comes to the realization that while he can't make what's happened to him right, he can get even. Four men are responsible for the murder of Winters's family. In destroying something innocent, they have just created a monster. With a gritty plot and a ruthless protagonist, the second story of Captive Retribution focuses on one man's vendetta to get revenge on those who did him wrong. With nothing left to lose, Winters goes on a bloody rampage that takes him across Europe and into the Middle East. As he relentlessly moves from target to target, leaving destruction and chaos in his wake, Winters can't help but ask one question: has he become worse than the men who killed his family?
