About the Author
Colonel KIEFER commanded a battalion in Vietnam and wears the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart, among other decorations.

About the Books
Soldiers Never Sleep
“Soldiers Never Sleep” is the story of Andy Walker, the battles he fights, and the women he loves. Historical fiction, the book is about the Indian Wars, the Buffalo Soldiers, and World War Two in the South Pacific. Great warriors fill the pages, men like Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Black Jack Pershing, and Douglas MacArthur. Along the way, Andy meets Honey, the wild Kentucky girl; Nancy, the mother of his children; and Helen, the Red Cross volunteer in the Fiji Islands. Two themes hold the story together: discrimination in the military and atrocities on the battlefield. The title is taken from an Indian curse placed on the Walker family by the old Sioux medicine man, Sitting Bull.
The Hawk who Hated War
If someone in the United States gave Saudi Arabia atomic weapons to use against Iran, would the Saudis use these weapons against Israel or New York instead? If the plot to use these weapons was discovered, the one who learned about giving these weapons to the Arabs faced death if he revealed the plot. He had to decide.
The Mountain and The Spring
On a Santorini cliff high above the great caldera of that sunny, serene Greek island, Captain Beth Walker marries CIA agent Matt Price. After the ceremony, her nephew, Steven, leaves for nearby Mykonos, only to be assaulted and kidnapped. When Arab television later shows Steven kneeling blindfolded before an executioner, the CIA sends Beth and Matt after him. The chase moves to Kurdistan, where avatars and wolves confront magic ravens and the Cult of Angels.
