About The Jackson MacKenzie Chronicles: In the Eye of the Storm:
Award-winning novel – Third Place – The BookFest Awards Fall 2022
The Jackson MacKenzie Chronicles: In the Eye of the Storm is not just a tale of action and suspense. It is a deep dive into the psyche of a man who must confront not only external threats but also his inner demons. War doesn’t just change the world—it changes the men who fight it. For Lt. Colonel Jackson Joseph MacKenzie, the battles he fought left scars far deeper than the ones on his body.
Dive into this heart-pounding adventure with Lt. Colonel Jackson MacKenzie, a seasoned U.S. Army Special Forces officer with a knack for finding trouble or, perhaps, trouble’s knack for finding him during the Vietnam War. In “In the Eye of the Storm,” Jackson embarks on his most perilous mission yet.
Born into the legacy of a storied Marine Corps family, Jackson MacKenzie chose his own path by joining the U.S. Army, embracing the West Point motto, Duty, Honor, Country, that came with his sacred oath.
War is a ruthless teacher. In Korea, Jackson faced death in ways that shattered his youthful ideals. In Vietnam, the wounds cut deeper, marked by relentless pain and the ultimate betrayal—abandoned by his superior officers after successfully completing a top-secret mission to help end the Vietnam War.
Condemned to a six-by-eight cell with no escape and stripped of every last bit of hope, Jackson can’t shake the nightmares brought on by the horrors of a POW camp. Even after escaping from confinement, the battles raged on inside him—haunting his waking hours and suffocating his dreams.
Action-packed and brimming with intrigue, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats, questioning who can be trusted and how far one man can go before he breaks from the pressure of betrayal of those who sit safely in the Pentagon and CIA headquarters.
In the Eye of the Storm is a powerful tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption—a story of one man’s fight to reclaim his humanity from the ashes of war. The gripping first installment of The Jackson MacKenzie Chronicles is perfect for readers who crave raw emotion, suspense, heart-pounding drama, gripping historical detail, and an unforgettable hero who refuses to surrender, no matter the cost, even his life.
