In the oil fields of Texas, the Executioner discovers a daring Mafia plot The plane comes in low, dropping its sole passenger on the edge of the oilfield known as Klingman’s Wells. Wearing all black, his chest crisscrossed with ammunition, Mack Bolan begins his assault on the facility. With his two favorite pistols and a handful of grenades, he cripples this mob-run drilling site, causing enough chaos to allow him to escape unharmed—and rescue the kidnapped woman who is trapped inside.   Bolan’s one-man war against organized crime has hamstrung the mob’s gambling operations and stopped its corruption of Washington. Desperate for funds, the syndicate has infiltrated the Texas oil industry, starting with Klingman’s Wells. To save the Lone Star State from mob rule, the Executioner hits one Mafia stronghold after another in a tornado of destruction that is appropriately Texas size. Texas Storm is the 18th book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

A nerve-shredding action thriller from the author of Redemption, “a gifted story-teller . . . His plots keep your imagination running in overdrive” (Euro Crime).  With no money and no prospects, hacker Alex Yates’s life is going nowhere until he is given a lucrative but dangerous offer—£100,000 to breach the Central Intelligence Agency’s network and recover a file known as the “Black List.”   At first reluctant to get involved, the disappearance of an old friend leaves Alex with no choice but to return to a world he’d sworn to leave behind. But before he can unlock the file’s secrets, he suddenly finds himself the target of a nationwide manhunt. Someone wants him out of the picture fast.   Plunged into a deadly race against time, and wanted by police, intelligence operatives and a ruthless covert unit, Alex is left with no choice but to accept help from the violent and unpredictable woman who first hired him. For in the Black List may lie his salvation, or his death . . .   Fast-paced and gripping throughout, Black List will appeal to fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child, and Vince Flynn.  Praise for the Ryan Drake series   “Entertaining.” —The Daily Telegraph   “A heart-stopper for anyone who likes plenty of action and explosions.” —Daily Mail

“This is a story of escape; a true account of how a dwindling group of soldiers made their way to safety through nearly a thousand miles of Japanese-occupied territory in the teeth of the monsoon.” On 20th April 1942, Captain Thompson received word that the defensive line held by their Chinese allies had broken; orders or no orders, he knew they had to move.
Separated from the rest of the Burma Army and weary from months of continuous fighting retreats, the survivors of his Karen Company began their long walk northwards. In the suffocating Burmese jungle the days turned to weeks, the weeks into months, and all the while the mental decay kept pace with their physical deterioration.
And yet, with such indomitable men as Subedar-Major Kan Choke and Subedar Ba Gyaw at Thompson’s side, his Company clung to each other and endured. When Fort Hertz finally came into view in August, the journey of nine hundred miles and untold maladies had left many of them little more than walking skeletons.
Written in 1944 but remaining unseen for over thirty years, Desperate Journey is an extraordinary true story of human endeavour, of faith, courage, tenacity and mutual trust in the face of insurmountable odds.
