​
Victoria is now back in New York, which is a mixed blessing. She has started a new career in finance and is being mentored by a very good friend of Johnny’s, Kip Van Styles. Unfortunately, with her new found wealth comes suitors who wish to control her and her money. In the meantime, Johnny has reorganized the original unit started by Captain David Alexander. Yankee Company has been tasked with meeting the many different demands of the ever-changing Cold War. It also becomes clearer that there are private enterprises, both domestic and abroad, that wish to influence the global geo-political landscape for their own means, regardless of who it impacts. Allies cannot be trusted and enemies may actually be friends.
The Fighting Ibex follows the life of Victoria Shannon, a 25-year-old nurse beginning a fairytale life with her personal Prince Charming in the aftermath of the Korean War. But when Victoria’s perfect future—and her prince—vanish, she finds herself stranded in Cortina, Italy, with nothing but a broken heart and a serious dilemma: Does she crawl back to New York in defeat or put down roots in Europe and refuse to be shaken?
​
While deciding, Victoria befriends several military officers from Italy and the United States. But as the Cold War evolves into a true conflict, it becomes evident that enemies may be closer than Victoria ever expected, and all she knows for certain is that going home is no longer an option.
​
Perfect for fans of Brad Thor and Vince Flynn, adult readers of drama and suspense will enjoy Peterson’s masterful blending of political intrigue and historical elements. Unlike other novels set in the same period, The Fighting Ibex doesn’t shy away from grappling with issues of complacency, race, and globalization. A series of sequels spanning from 1955 to 1962 will further dissect this dramatic turning point in history.
