After leaving the Army, he designed conventional and special
ordnance, and demilitarized chemical weapons at Rocky Mountain Arsenal and Tooele Army Depot. He made the transition to hazardous
waste management by applying aerospace combustion technology to incineration of Agent Orange. Lee Boyland is the author The
Rings of Allah, Behold, an Ashen Horse
and, America Reborn.
According to the book description of
American Reborn, “President George
Alexander ends the war with the
Islamic Empire and concentrates on
leading America back to its place as
the world’s greatest nation. To reach
this goal, he must inspire the people
to rediscover the nation’s roots—the
true meaning of the Constitution and
the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.
After ending the war with the Islamic
Empire, Alexander is confronted with:
opposition from liberals, who oppose
his hard line approach; a plot
instigated by government officials and
two Hollywood personalities, who
attempt to destroy his presidency; and
drug cartels, led by Hector “The Hulk”
Gomez, who are destabilizing Mexico
and attempt to bring South America
violence into the U.S.
America Reborn, the third book of Lee
and Vista Boyland’s
Clash-of-Civilizations trilogy is a
political-military technothriller that
will keep you up late at night turning
the pages.
Like Behold, an Ashen Horse, America
Reborn is a complex, multifaceted
exciting story that is almost
impossible to put down. The story
begins where Behold, an Ashen Horse
ends. Leaders of the Islamic Empire
have assembled to watch live video
feed of the launching of two nuclear
armed missiles, Allah’s Fist, against
the Crusaders (American troops) in
Libya and Israel. Their celebration is
interrupted by an American propaganda
video, followed by President Alexander
giving a speech announcing his
intention to deliver the death blow to
the Islamic Empire.
A few days later, Phase III of
Operation Brimstone, the invasion of
Egypt, begins. An Egyptian general has
planned an ambush, and Prince Harry’s
recon squadron leads the British tanks
into the trap. An exciting tank battle
ensues.
Phase IV of Operation Brimstone, the
invasion of Yemen and Saudi Arabia,
follows. U.S. Army Rangers find an
American girl, twelve-year-old Julie
Summers, about to be stoned. Little
Julie becomes America’s sweetheart and
has an important role in the story.
Teresa Lopez continues her adventures,
this time in France where a copy of
America’s top secret war plan was
leaked to a French newspaper. Teresa
looks for the source at the U.S.
Embassy. General Simpson and Martha
Wellington take a more direct approach
and send a SEAL team to interview
suspects—but be assured no
waterboarding is employed.
Alexander turns to rebuilding the
America Government. He wants to take
the nation back to the principals of
its Founding Fathers. His first task
is to define what went wrong, and then
propose solutions: new political
parties and term limits are but a few
of his suggestions—none of which find
traction with liberals. Several
liberal governors make an end run and
try to appoint Congressional
representatives before Alexander is
ready for elections. Colonel Gordi
gets another call to arms, making his
governor’s day.
President Alexander has to deal with
an out-of-control drug gang problem,
and a southern neighbor about to
become a drug cartel state. Homeland
Security’s interdiction of drug
shipments angers the cartel bosses,
especially The Hulk and El Verdugo,
who plans to teach the president a
lesson. U.S. citizens are kidnapped
and held for ransom, Border Patrol
agents are shot, a police official is
assassinated, and Zetas massacre a
local California drug gang. Alexander
dispatches "hostage negotiators" to
explain why kidnapping Americans is a
bad idea. One cartel boss gets the
message.
Teresa meets the two Rangers who
rescued Julie: Captain Erika Borgg and
First Sergeant Melissa Adams. Two
women a mugger would never want to
meet.
There are several more exciting
subplots woven into riveting story of
America rediscovering its roots and
preparing to be reborn. Although
America Reborn ends the trilogy, the
story is far from finished. Will there
be an Office of Analysis and Solutions
series?”

According to the book description
of The Rings of Allah,
"At Stalin's orders two teams of
scientists and engineers competed to
demonstrate the Soviet Union's first
atomic bomb. Failure was not an
option, and the loosing team was
purged with no warning. Its records
destroyed, and all of the key
personnel eliminated, well, almost
all. What happened to the team's work
in progress? Forty years later The
Group discovers the answer. The Rings
of Allah is a grand saga in the genre
of James Clavell's Shogun and Tia-Pan,
with a little Clancy thrown in.
Spanning over sixty years the story
sweeps across Russia, central Asia,
and into the United States. The cast
of characters include Soviet
scientists, radical Islamist, KGB
officers, al-Qaeda terrorists, Usama
bin Laden, and American businessmen,
doctors, and government officials.
Islam, Wahhabism, and the
Soviet-Afghan war, provide the
backdrop for the birth of al-Qaeda.
The story proceeds into the future
where a sleeper cell of al-Qaeda
attempts to complete Usama bin Laden's
master plan for the final strike
against the Great Satan. This epic
novel presents a realistic and
frightening picture of how simple
atomic weapons could be smuggled into
and hidden in the U.S. The author has
the background and knowledge to write
a realistic, technically sound story
that will leave no doubt as to the
vulnerability of western civilization
to terrorism and the threat of weapons
of mass destruction. Yes, it can be
done, and the Rings of Allah provides
a thrilling and realistic story of one
such plan. The main characters include
an old but sharp Soviet nuclear
weapons engineer; an idealistic young
American Arab drawn into the
Afghanistan Jihad who later becomes a
conflicted soul; the American educated
al-Qaeda cell leader who slowly slips
into insanity; a beautiful blond
venture capitalists, who is
unwittingly ensnarled into the
terrorist plot; an enterprising KGB
officer and member of The Group;
Writer’s Digest said of The
Rings of Allah, “The most impressive aspect of this book is the detail with which the author depicts the
very complicated subject matter. A novel of this scope could be very clumsy, if not well researched and adequately plotted.
Lee Boyland obviously has extensive knowledge of the Islamic religion in general, as well as the various conservative and
radical sects. He also has a firm grasp on world history, such as the details of past wars, and the present political relations
between countries. Most impressive, however, is his understanding of weaponry, and his ability to describe the mechanisms
of a variety of bombs and detonators. All of this information is included and is well written, so as not to intrude on the
story.” Best selling author Paul L. Williams
said of Behold, an Ashen Horse, “The novel of the year has arrived. Forget about Patterson,
King, Grisham and company. If you want at long last to read a work that is intelligent, gripping, and truly terrifying, pick
up a copy of Lee Boyland's Behold an Ashen Horse. Mr.
Boyland, who has an extensive background in nuclear engineering and national defense, is the rightful heir in American fiction
to Tom Clancy.”
