Francis E. McIntire's first book, Educated Blackjack, was published in 1977 for distribution in the United States and England. From 1983 until 2000 he published instruction manuals and technical manuals for use by the U.S. military for education and training, for organizational development, and for implementing technical systems for government and commercial clients. In 2000, Mr. McIntire published Full Ride, which was widely distributed to parents of children desiring to attend one of the five U.S. service academies. In 2004, he published a three-part series in Military Installation Excellence that included the subtitles Program Management, Project Reporting, and Strategic Planning. In 2012, Educated Blackjack was released in the second edition and expanded to include a novella, and Full Ride was published as a second edition. The complete novel Anarchist was published at the end of 2012 for submission in an international breakout novel contest. At the beginning of 2013, work began on what would become a complete set in the Anarchist series. The original novel was published as volume 1, Anarchist, and subtitled The Unveiling. Prior to the release of volumes two through six, Mr. McIntire conducted extensive research on a novel that would be based on heroism and exemplary character in the U.S. military. Francis E.
