The Home Team

by Dave Pratt

Overview

Sam Anthem has always been a team player, leading his Home Team on secret missions around the world and chasing down bad guys for the U.S. government. But Sam has never had a place to call home or someone to go home to.

Consuelo Zamora has been serving as a missionary nurse, but her work has led her to be forced to work with some South American drug lords in order to provide medicine for the common people. After being rescued by Sam and his Home Team, Consuelo settles into a new position in Olympia, Washington, to work with a community center there. But somehow, trouble always follows her, and Sam Anthem seems to always be nearby to save the day.

When Sam is forced on a two-month vacation, he is introduced to a former covert ops soldier-turned pastor. But the vacation takes a turn when the Home Team comes under attack. As the team fights to stay alive against an unknown adversary, Sam begins to wonder if there is more to life than just the job. With his life on the line, Sam must decide between the job or his newfound faith and possible love.

Editorial Reviews

Written from Dave's deep knowledge of tactical operations and martial arts, and with a Northwest flair mixed in, The Home Team grabs you from the start and surprises you at the end. As Dave’s former pastor, it was thrilling to read a story of authentic faith lived out in gripping circumstances. A great read that is both tightly written and timely.

"The Home Team is a wonderful story that weaves Dave Pratt's life experience as a Tae Kwan Do master, Christian, and retired army officer. It is a reminder that God's will, love, and guidance are everywhere. Dave brings together his military experience, lifelong journey in martial arts, and his commitment to God and blends it into an action-packed, compelling story of human nature, conflict, faith, and self-discovery. It has the power to touch the heart and to awaken consciousness. It is a story well-worth reading and contains a message we can all relate to."

"Dave's rich personal experience as a martial arts master, military officer, and Christian brings The Home Team to life and gives it an amazing sense of reality. The action is tight and real, and Dave places you right there in the middle of the lives and actions of the Home Team. The locations come alive, and the characters are rich with real life and faith challenges. Dave is a wonderful storyteller who draws you into this exciting adventure and baffling mystery. What a joy to read a fantastic, high-quality, action adventure of people living out their faith in very difficult circumstances. It challenges us to grow and live out our faith in what may seem to us as challenging circumstances. The Home Team is a great read that is hard to put down. It is a book with character that anyone in the family can read and enjoy."
