Intrigue and adventure, bandits and mercenaries, this historical novel twinpack includes:
***MERCENARY ***- Lee Christmas gets drunk and falls asleep at the throttle of his locomotive, plowing straight into an oncoming train. Blacklisted from the railroad and his marriage in tatters, he flees New Orleans on a steamer bound for the tropics.
In Honduras, he begins a quiet new life. But trouble has a way of finding Christmas. With unrest sweeping the countryside, he's kidnapped by bandits. Soon, he finds himself taking sides in an all-out civil war--as leader of the rebellion.
*Mercenary *is the story of the USA's most famous soldier of fortune: the hard-drinking drifter who changed the fate of a nation.
A STORM HITS VALPARAISO - Catalina Flores de la Peña's tongue got her in more trouble than any other part of her body, even though there were far more likely candidates. But when a storm rolls into her sleepy port town, she finds herself embroiled with a gang of adventurers, mercenaries, and prostitutes on a journey to free South America from the Spanish Empire.
A Storm Hits Valparaiso is an epic historical adventure starring two brothers torn apart by love; a slave running for his life; a disgraced British sailor seeking redemption; and José de San Martín, an Argentine general who deserts the Spanish Army to lead a bloody revolt against his former masters.
Praise for Mercenary: "Highly recommended to readers of adventure fiction and history, as well as anyone interested in American adventurism and meddling in Latin America." -- Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Michael Wallace.
Praise for A Storm Hits Valparaiso: "An ambitious story of love and betrayal, victory and defeat. In characters drawn from real historical figures, the author delves into the politics of war and how battles turn on the smallest of details or the whims of a single man." -- JW Manus, author of The Devil His Due.
