Week of  January 19, 2005 | Christopher Whitcomb

This week's guest is Christopher Whitcomb. Mr. Whitcomb is a retired member of the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team. During the six years he spent as a sniper he was involved in our country's most visible FBI missions, including Ruby Ridge and Waco. 

His first book, COLD ZERO, is a memoir of his days with the FBI. It is a fascinating inside look at the demands, both personal and physical, of his fifteen year career with the FBI. COLD ZERO was published by Little Brown in 2001.

BLACK, also published by Little Brown in 2004, is Mr. Whitcomb's first novel. BLACK is  a compelling look into the world of 'black operations', top-secret missions that few in our government know about. The plot involves the use of sophisticated cellular technology that has fallen into the wrong hands. 

The story introduces the reader to Jeremy Waller, a member of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team. Waller will return in WHITE, which will be published in June, 2005. Mr. Whitcomb discusses both novels in our interview. He also tells us of his work in Hollywood.

Christopher Whitcomb is well on his way to becoming one of our country's most talented and popular authors. His books go beyond the normal bounds of the thriller genre. His personal experience gives us an entree into a side of technology and terrorism that is not available in most books of this type. His voice is a welcome addition to the world of fiction.

I hope you enjoy the interview.  

Here is a follow-up interview on the publication of WHITE.
