Sundown
at Dawn begins
in the northern Minnesota wilderness along the Canadian border, the largest
stretch of unprotected border in the United States. While on a canoe trip, John
Starr, an Iraq war vet is awakened at dawn by voices coming across the water.
Suddenly, he is transported back to 2003 and his time in Iraq. Could it
possibly be Arabic? After he dismisses the incident, he is ambushed and left
for dead miles from home. He has nothing left to help him survive in the
wilderness, but the clothes on his back, a few things in his pockets, his wits
and his dog.
Why was he attacked? He realizes why his
memories of Iraq came back so vividly. The voice he recognized was from his
time in captivity during a mission. He flashes back to his parachute jump into
Iraq as the leader of a Special Forces team, the running gun battles, sniper
duels and the disastrous aftermath, He remembers the cruel Sheikh who bragged
of his plans for America’s destruction. Starr survives torture and captivity,
spending time recovering at Landstuhl Military Hospital in Germany, suffering
from physical injuries, PTSD and survivor’s guilt. He eventually returns to his
home in Minnesota, rekindles a torrid college love affair and begins to rebuild
his life.
Now, a relaxing trip into the beautiful wilderness
has brought the past back and he soon begins to unravel an insidious plot hatched to destroy the country. As Starr learns more, he realizes that
the plans might very well succeed if they are not stopped and the chase
is on. With time running out, Starr has to work fast. Once the plans are
put into motion, they can’t be stopped. Both the CIA and the Mossad are drawn
into the action, as events unfold at blinding speed.

“A page turning thriller that combines the history of the beautiful
north country with a harrowing and brilliantly conceived story that grabs you
and won’t let go. Steve Stepan’s writing is right up there with the likes of
Vince Flynn and Clive Cussler. I am looking forward to John Starr’s further
adventures.” Tom Mageau…Control Data Corporation.

can say. The best book I have read in a long time and I read tons!”

“Finished reading! Actually, once I began, I could not stop until the
end. It was that captivating. My sincere congratulations on your writing.
It is both interesting and precise and in some particulars, beautifully
described. I volunteer now to translate into Portuguese”…Major General Raul
Cun’ha…Head of Portuguese Special Forces, UN Military Chief in Sarajevo,

“Exciting new thriller that captures the latest in intrigue and
addresses all our fears as to terrorism in the USA. His exacting approach to
all matters makes the story believable and accurate. I can’t wait to see the movie
version as well as read the sequel.”
“Reminded me of Jack Reacher from the Lee Child books. The book was
inventive, informative and the descriptions are spot on. The action chapters
(the best part of the book, I wanted more) reminded me of Steve Berry. It was
really a good introduction to a new series. I can’t wait for the next book,”
