BOOK REVIEW FOR TONY RUGGIERO'S, TEAM OF DARKNESS
BY MICHAEL TIMLIN

 

A peacekeeping operation in Kosovo has a new commander and a new mission. Navy Commander John Reese was selected to command this elite unit because of his interest in myths and legends. He is sent to Kosovo because a man has shown up at the base claiming that his children were killed by beasts. An investigation of the area proves to be fatal and the enemy unstoppable. Now Commander Resse has to put together a plan to capture these creatures, once they are captured, under the cover of darkness they are secreted onto a base in the United States. Once they have been studied and tested in military procedures. Commander Reese has a new group of men to command. The men are over a hundred years old and look to be only in their 20's. A special collar is placed on their necks to control them. They are the Team of Darkness.

 

There is bone chilling horror in Tony Ruggiero's " Team of Darkness". The reader will be entranced by the way the characters come to life on the pages of this book. Ruggiero style of writing will keep you on the edge of your seat, it will make you jump at noises in the night and make you sleep with you light on at night.  4 - Stars

About the Author:

Tony Ruggiero has been publishing fiction since 1998. His science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories and novels have appeared in both print and electronic mediums. His published novels include:
 
Team of Darkness.  The US military has developed a new weapon to be added to its arsenal—the creatures known as vampires. Tony uses his Naval experience to write this dark fantasy thriller about vampires being used by the Navy Seals. Ground breaking and fast paced, the novel is a characteristic mixture of the vampire lore of Anne Rice and the clandestine secrets of the military found in Tom Clancy novels. The concept has led to a series of books to be released in 2006 through 2008, the Team of Darkness declassified files. The books are: Operation Immortal Servitude, Operation Save the Innocent, Operation Face the Fear, and Operation Endgame.
 
Aliens and Satanic Creatures Wanted: Humans Need Not Apply. Aliens, Satanic Creatures, and other alternate life forms have gathered together to make a stand for literary fairness. Move over pesky human...a change is coming. An anthology of short stories where the center character is not human; includes the award winning story, Lucky Lucifer’s Car Emporium, as well as Electronic Bliss, Invasion or Subversion, and Going up?
 
Tony is also a contributing author to The Fantasy Writers’ Companion  from Dragon Moon Press. The Companion picks up where The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy leaves off. The Fantasy Writers' Companion takes on more advanced topics of writing, such as incorporating horror, incorporating mystery, developing a story in your favorite RPG universe, and exploring alternative cultures for world building. Tony’s contribution is a chapter on the effective use of horror in fantasy.  Other collaborative work includes The Writers for Relief Anthology and No Longer Dreams Anthology.
 
Coming in 2006/7 from Dragon Moon Press: Tony’s longtime favorite of space opera adventure debuts in a two book series: Alien Deception:
Alien Revelation: Death has many meanings. For some it is an end, while for others it is a beginning. Yet, for one human/alien hybrid, it is a way to have one final chance to try and save his home, Earth, a son he has never seen, and find an enemy that just won’t stay dead.  
 
Tony retired from the United States Navy in 2001 after twenty-three years of service. He and his family currently reside in Suffolk, Virginia. While continuing to write, Tony teaches at Old Dominion University, Saint Leo University, and Tidewater Community College in Norfolk, VA.
