Nick Caine and Ishi Cuyamel return to the United States in the coerced employment of a secretive government agency.
Rather than face the threat of extended jail time for their role in looting precious artifacts worldwide, Nick and Ishi agree to give up their livelihoods as ‘creative archaeologists.’
If only working for ‘Project Golden Eye’ was that simple.
Nick and Ishi’s first assignment should play to their strengths and familiarity since it involves another Lost City of Gold.
However, this particular ancient metropolis brings with it the genuine danger of losing one’s head to the ruthlessly brutal Javaro tribe.
To avoid their beloved noggins becoming belt ornaments, Nick and Ishi must outsmart a cunningly evil adversary while resisting the instinctive urge to collect artifacts from a treasure heretofore believed to be purely mythical.
Can the pair survive these perils and more lurking in the upper Amazon Basin?
The answer lies in the mystery of the River of the Damned…
For Nick and Ishi, working for Project GoldenEye proves more taxing than they ever dreamed it would be.
Paying back the enormous debt they incurred is beginning to seem less and less possible.
Especially given the endless “special projects” assigned to the pair as a means to avoid spending the remainder of their earthly days behind bars...
Yet, once again, he and Ishi are paired with ‘Cat’ and her equally alluring sister, Natalia, in another dangerous assignment.
This time, the search is for something far older...located in a region of the world where Nick and Ishi are unwelcome: Northern Africa.
Unfortunately, the targeted item seems incredibly daunting, if not impossible, to obtain...
The location to the legendary Spring of Life... rumored to be the place where all Life on Earth originated.
Soon, the unlikely foursome find themselves beyond the headwaters of the mighty Nile River and into a meagerly explored mountain range between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
There is danger and double crosses at every turn; indeed, has Nick and Ishi’s good fortune finally run out?
It all depends on what awaits them and their seductive guides in the Mountains of the Moon...
The "looters with a conscience" are back in another thrilling adventure!
When a renowned archaeologist goes missing, antiquities thief Nick Caine and his sidekick Ishi are called in to track her down and complete an unlikely recovery operation.
Soon, the two follow her trail to Crete, where a wealthy madman has his sights set on the ancient treasure of its most famous ruler: King Minos.
But finding the treasure and getting their hands on it won't be easy.
For hundreds of years, archaeologists hoped to locate the famous labyrinth where many had met their death at the hands of the Minotaur hidden within it...
Or so the legend goes.
Is it all a myth? Or is there a fortune to be made beneath the ancient Island of Crete?
That's a bet a master looter is always willing to make.
First Contact: Assess humans with the flawed, rudimentary, mind … Unbeknownst to simpleton Cuddy Perkins, his dependable, uneventful, life was about to be turned completely upside down. It’s a moonless summer night when a severely damaged intergalactic spacecraft enters Earth’s upper orbit. The alien pilot is desperate. Needs to hold up long enough to make repairs—before his pursuers find him. Cuddy Perkins lives a simple life with his mother, his dog Rufus, and a scattering of farm animals that still inhabit their old, dilapidated, Woodbury Tennessee ranch. He was used to the insults; retard … simpleton … village idiot. Momma says to just ignore them … people can be heartless. But Cuddy already knew he had been different, ever since the accident back when he was seven. He didn’t know how long ago that was, exactly, but he did know he was pretty big now—taller than his older brother, Kyle … who was in prison, and the Woodbury Sherriff—the man who put him there.
He was exiled to the Galactic Rim... with an expendable crew in a ship that shouldn’t exist.
Their corrupt military leaders sent them on a one-way mission to die.
He chose vengeance instead...
Fast paced science fiction adventure, space fleet and military sci fi of deep betrayal, corruption and incompetence at the highest level of the Admiralty.
Captain Aldo Lath is hated by his Commanders for his battle competence, battle commendations and for befriending the human hero of the Slave War.
Exiled to the distant edge of the galaxy with a crew of miss-fits, they are tasked with the tough and often fatal work of repairing perimeter battle drones.
They discovered the ship they were in had a special purpose. And, it wasn’t to save them. The arrogant, corrupt and incompetent Admiralty Elite cared only about prestige, power and money.
They secretly funneled expired, weapons grade resources to The Verge expecting Lath and his crew to ferry the ship out to the waiting pirates… and die.
Except, Lath and his crew refused to go quietly into the night.
Fly along with Hoganthan Captain Aldo Lath and his crew as they repair dangerous drones on patrol, war against pirates, combat renegades, battle to save a trader family and, ultimately, battle their own corrupt Admiralty, fighting to survive and become the elite Warriors they were meant to be.

She looked at the smiling, eager face of the little girl in the photograph, with dark hair, bright-green eyes, a missing front tooth, and her entire life ahead of her. Chelsea was last seen walking back from a friend’s house one summer afternoon. She never made it home…
An eight-year-old girl, Chelsea Compton, is missing in Pine Valley, California and for Detective Katie Scott it’s a cruel reminder of the friend who disappeared from summer camp twenty years ago. Unable to shake the memories, Katie vows she won’t rest until she discovers what happened to Chelsea.
But as Katie starts to investigate—her PTSD flashbacks kept at bay with the help of her loyal ex-military dog, Cisco—the case reveals itself to be much bigger and more shocking than she feared. Deep in the forest, she unearths a makeshift cemetery: a row of graves, each with a brightly coloured teddy bear.
Tracing the silk lining the coffins, Katie links the graves to a stack of missing-persons cases involving young girls—finding a pattern no one else has managed to see. Someone in Pine Valley has been taking the town’s daughters for years, and Katie is the only one who can stop them.
And then another little girl goes missing, snatched from the park near her home…
Smoke curls from what’s left of the beautiful family home on the edge of the woods. The heat is unbearable as she descends the stairs to the basement, past a set of bicycles––two big, one small. That’s when she sees three little white bones in the cracked earth at her feet, turning her blood to ice…
When firefighters tackling a blazing house in a quiet suburb of Pine Valley, California discover human remains, Detective Katie Scott races to 717 Maple Street. She calls a halt to the excavations the moment she sees the full number and size of the bones; someone has buried a whole family down here.
Working night and day, it’s up to Katie to prove her theory that the fire was no accident, that someone wanted to expose the secret in the basement. Tiny traces of explosives residue found at the scene is all the proof she needs. But the Cross family have been missing for months––leaving friends and loved ones in agonizing pain––what twisted soul would do this now? And why?
The case takes another heart-shattering turn when Katie’s suspicions over recent renovation work on the house leads to the discovery of more bodies in the back yard: two little girls, buried years apart. What other devastating secrets are hidden in this perfect family home?
It’s a dead end at every turn as Katie tracks down anyone who knew the family. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, reports of the Cross’s landlord harassing the family before they went missing gives Katie a crucial lead. With a menacing grey sedan following her every move, how many more innocent lives will be lost before Katie can dig up the truth?
