Enjoy Books 1 - 3, plus a bonus short story prequel with a savings of over 25%! Book 1 - Dagger Quest: An obsolete patrol boat is all that stands between the world and nuclear annihilation. Kauai and her crew find a drug-laden smashed and adrift north of the Florida Keys and end up in a race against a vicious and powerful international crime syndicate to find and recover the Russian nuclear warhead before its discovery can trigger a nuclear war. Book 2 - Caribbean Counterstrike: It's the deadliest nerve gas ever made, and it has fallen into the hands of a murderous Caribbean drug cult. A game-changing battlefield nerve gas in a secret lab hidden on an oil rig servicing ship has been seized by one of the most vicious drug cartels in existence and held for ransom. The best of the bad options is a covert raid by the newly-upgraded, stealth-equipped Cutter Kauai. Book 3 – Bravely and Faithfully: A New Captain's First Patrol Turns into a Fight for Their Lives. Opening with the rescue of a young family from a stricken sailboat in the middle of a major hurricane, culminating in the covert insertion and recovery of an assault team from a Caribbean island occupied by a superior Chinese military force. The crew and their new skipper must come together for the toughest missions they have ever faced. BONUS Short Story: "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Miami": Young Coast Guard officer Ben Wyporek is reassigned to the patrol boat Kauai in Miami. It is an emergency transfer, and he is rushing to get on board as soon as possible. However, a life-changing incident intervenes in this short-story prequel to the Cutter Kauai Sea Adventure series. Reviews: Dagger Quest: "A highly entertaining cross between a seafaring adventure and a high-stakes military drama. The authenticity of the prose and the detailed technical writing makes readers forget this isn't a direct account of an international incident, while the dialogue is snappy and believable, and the narration keeps the suspense at a fever pitch to the very end." Self-Publishing Review Caribbean Counterstrike: "Hochsmann's meticulous prose hums with lived experience and authenticity, while the relationships onboard the Kauai only deepen in complexity. The author's ability to craft a blockbuster story while weaving in critical themes of trust, honor, and independence is a testament to his nuanced perspective on the complex subject matter. This gripping maritime thriller delivers in every way." Self-Publishing Review Bravely and Faithfully: A gripping high-stakes adventure on the sea. Lieutenant Haley Reardon assumes command of the tight-knit Kauai crew just in time for an incredibly dangerous assignment: apprehending a syndicate leader from a Chinese-controlled Haitian island. Hochsmann's dynamic cast, energetic prose, and tense plot - showcasing everything from perilous hurricane rescues to the liberation of human trafficking victims - make this novel an enjoyable must-read for fans of character-driven military fiction. ★★★★1/2 - The Independent Review of Books
