About Absolute Authority - A James Ryder Thriller

When institutions fail, one man becomes judge, jury, and executioner. He was trained to be America's perfect weapon, a Delta Force operator with a perfect record of eliminating high-value targets. But when James Ryder uncovers evidence of a powerful defense contractor selling arms to the enemy, the system he trusted turns against him. Abruptly discharged and back on American soil, Ryder discovers the corruption goes deeper than illegal weapons deals. The Richter empire is exploiting wounded veterans from battlefield hospitals to corporate boardrooms and abandoning them when they're no longer useful. With official channels compromised and no one to trust, Ryder decides to use his lethal skills to deliver the justice others can't-or won't. As he hunts those responsible, a determined Army CID agent with her own quest for truth follows his trail of bodies. The chase becomes a high-stakes game where the lines between vengeance and justice blur with every trigger pull. Can a weapon forged by the military be stopped once it chooses its targets? Absolute Authority is the explosive first book in the James Ryder thriller series. If you like vigilante justice, complex moral dilemmas, and a protagonist who answers to no authority but his own conscience, then you'll love JT Porter's gripping tale of accountability.
