Visit the website for Andrew Peterson's new novel First to Kill.
Nathan McBride
When you're the best at what you do, it's not always easy to walk away. But Nathan McBride believed he had done just that. The former Marine sniper and covert CIA operative had put the violence of his former life behind him, until now.
When a deep-cover FBI agent disappears, along with an enormous cache of powerful Semtex explosive, the government envisions a disaster of international proportions and has no choice but to coax Nathan out of retirement. But almost as soon as Nathan accepts the assignment, he finds himself caught between a ruthless adversary with a blood-chilling plan and federal officials who will stop at nothing to see their own brand of justice done.
Born and raised in San Diego, California, Andrew Peterson attended La Jolla High School before enrolling at the University of Oklahoma, where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture.
At the age of six, Andrew won his first shooting competition at summer camp. His early fascination with rifles became a life-long devotion to excellence in marksmanship. He has won numerous competitions throughout the Southwestern United States, including a Gold Medal at the 1995 Excellence in Competition match at the Nevada State Championship, and a First Place victory at the 1994 Arizona State Championship, 1,000 Yard Service Rifle Match. Currently, Andrew enjoys the classification of Master in the NRA’s High Power Rifle ranking system.
Andrew began to write fiction in 1990. He sold a short story, “Mr. Haggarty’s Stop,” to San Diego Writers Monthly in October, 1992. He continued to write, exploring both the novel form and screenplays. It wasn’t until he attended his first writer’s conference in 2005, that he became serious about writing the Nathan McBride stories. He is currently working on the next novel in a planned series, featuring the “brutally effective” former Marine Corps sniper and ex-CIA operative, Nathan McBride.
FIRST TO KILL is Andrew Peterson’s debut novel, and it will be published in September, 2008, by Leisure Books, an imprint of Dorchester Publishing. Andrew and his wife, Carla, live somewhat off the grid near the central coast of California.
