“Steel Fear” is a new novel by Brandon Webb. The moment Navy Seal sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincoln to hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf there is no doubt that something is wrong. When crew members start disappearing – it’s more sinister than a string of suicides – it’s clear there’s a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship, now all he has to do is stay alive long enough to prove it isn’t him. “Steel Fear” is also available in Libby/Overdrive.
