Lisa Moreno adds Code: One-One-Alpha to her list of riveting novels. She's teamed up with Dr. Roger S. Macomber to bring to life this amazing story. Initially written by Dr. Macomber over twenty-five years ago, the manuscript sat quiet like bones in a casket. With the current conflict raging on between Russia and Ukraine, it seemed well timed to unveil this unbelievable saga. Ms. Moreno assisted in character development and adding the why to the storyline—fictionalized, but at the core undeniable truth. Her other novels include The Girls 'Til Death Do Us Part, Ungodly Intent, and The Red Diamond.Dr. Macomber retired from the University of Cincinnati as Professor Emeritus of Organic Chemistry and authored numerous scientific articles and textbooks. He has also held a commercial pilot license and flight instructor certification.
