Chuck Driskell’s latest novel, LAHN’S EDGE, is now on sale. The story follows Patrick Lacher, a likeable anti-hero, stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army.

But when he finds himself the target of a violent group of terrorists, Patrick uses his considerable wit to turn the tables. Loaded with action and steamy scenes, LAHN’S EDGE is as fun to read as it is engrossing.

On sale at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble, DOPPELGÄNGER, Chuck Driskell's World War II spy tale, follows right on the heels of his successful debut, THE DIARIES.
Esteemed Hitler author Don McKale says, “Doppelgänger is evidence that Driskell has more than one club in the bag. It’s a dangerous, crackling tale with a shocking climax.”
"It's hard to believe this is Mr. Driskell's first book. From the opening scene on an airplane, where Gage has to subdue an unruly passenger...the author creates life-like characters, constant tension and unpredictability...Driskell does an excellent job bringing everything together in a satisfying climax." - IndieReader
