John McCord

Mike Norris works gathering intelligence for a secret society of the very wealthy, reporting directly to its leader, who is one of the wealthiest men in the world. Mike, no stranger to wealth himself, having made a fortune in the stock market, believes risking his life as an analyst for Xray, a top-secret team made up of Navy SEALs known only by a few people, is for the good of the nation. His latest assignment will require drawing on all his resources if he hopes to find answers. 'The Sun in the Eastern Sky,' a new novel released by Dog Ear Publishing, follows Mike and his colleagues as they work to bring Chinese defectors - and their secrets - out of Communist China. The Chinese Ministry of State Security is just one obstacle they must overcome. But when they are forced into hiding and the team disbands, Mike realizes all is not what it appears and it may be no coincidence the team faced problems in China. He joins forces with a Navy SEAL in charge of putting Xray back together. Dog Ear Publishing reviews the novel, a sequel to 'Sneak Attack,' which introduces Mike: Author John McCord draws on his nearly 10 years of experience in Navy systems to bring a real-life flavor to the story. This latest book lures readers with its jam-packed brand of excitement and intrigue, paired with a modern-day hero who may get more than he's bargained for. After spending more than 20 years in computer and information technologies, McCord began writing short stories and had work published in North Atlantic Review. He and his wife live in the Charlotte area.
