Six novels of adventure, crime, sex, betrayal, and mystery on the high seas.
Killers at Sea by Alan Joseph aka Jon Messmann
Logan is a man as restless and solitary as the sea itself…whether it’s aboard his boat the Sea Urchin or when he comes ashore, where he inevitably gets into trouble. He’s walking along the wind-swept dunes of South Carolina on a gray, misty morning when he comes across the body of a man, a colorful character everybody simply called “the old man of the beach.” But someone has beaten the harmless old man to death…and left behind his grieving niece, a beautiful, head-strong young woman bent on vengance. Logan reluctantly agrees to help her and soon a team of vicious killers is targeting them both… in the midst of a furious, epic hurricane.
One Hot Night (aka Sin Ship) by J.T. Pritchard
These are the happy-go-lucky breed, the wealthy playboys who throng to the resorts of Miami and Las Vegas, fill the New York clubs, and who get away with a debauched, sex-and-drugs-soaked lifestyle that’s outside the bounds of civilized society…
Bobby Hammond is one of these thrill-hungry playboys and easily finds himself playgirls to match his craven needs. There’s Betty Brooks, gambling her body aboard Bobby’s yacht. And Dot Hammond, the do-anything-for-kicks girl, stoked on booze and sex. And wild Ivy Dorset, game for even the kinkiest passions.
But one hot night, Betty gives her body to the wrong man, Dot fall from a staggering high to the pits of hell, and Ivy faces a twisted lust too horrifying to endure…and that’s just the beginning.
Pieces of the Game by Lee Gifford
“This novel kicks total ass. Pieces of the Game is like a deep-water, Clive Cussler treasure hunt crossed with The Great Escape, with enough intrigue and action to rival both.” Paperback Warrior
Shortly before the U.S. and Filipino forces surrendered to the Japanese on May 6, 1942, they dumped all of Manilla’s silver pesos, valued at $8 million, into the deep water south of Caballo Bay. The Japanese want the fortune, so they force seven American POWs to dive into the cold depths to help recover it…or face torture and death…
One man survives to tell the tale but that harrowing adventure is only the prelude to the rest of his story, set long after the war is over, when he returns to Manilla to face an old, ruthless enemy.
Logan by Alan Joseph
Logan is docked in Panama. He returns to his boat with a lusty lady that he picked up in a bar…and finds a dead woman already in his bed. So it’s no surprise to Logan when the police arrive moments later, tipped off by an anonymous caller. Logan is sure the frame-up has something to do with refusing, the night before, a $10,000 offer from a stranger to take care of a “delicate job.” The stranger had warned him that they wouldn’t take no for an answer. Now, to avoid torture and prison, Logan is forced into doing a dangerous mission: sailing his boat and a sexy, mysterious woman into a South American war zone to dig up a corpse of a supposedly dead revolutionary for a positive I.D…and that’s only the beginning of his troubles.
Ship’s Doctor by Henry Lewis Nixon
Dr. Richard Williams has been married twice, drinks too much, and is seeking escape from his miserable life by spending three months as the medical officer on a cruise ship. But once he is at sea, he finds himself plunged into a raging storm of lust, betrayal and danger when he falls for an alluring passenger with a dark secret.
Touchfeather, Too by Jimmy Sangster
Katy Touchfeather is a fun-loving, British spy with a cheeky attitude and lethal skills who travels the world as a stewardess. Her latest assignment is to bring down what appears to be a gold smuggling operation…but is something far worse. It’s a globetrotting, espionage adventure that takes her from London to a lavish yacht on the high-seas, from the jungles of Africa to the beaches of the Bahamas, and that pits her against one of richest men on earth and a deadly torturess who loves to extract information in agonizingly creative ways…and can’t wait to try them all on Katy.
