From acclaimed spy novelist Paul Vidich comes a taut new thriller following the attempted exfiltration of a KGB officer from the ever-changing—and always dangerous—USSR in the mid-1980s. Moscow, 1985. The Soviet Union and its communist regime are in the last stages of decline, but remain opaque to the rest of the world—and still very dangerous. In this ever-shifting landscape, a senior KGB officer—code name GAMBIT—has approached the CIA Moscow Station chief with top secret military weapons intelligence and asked to be exfiltrated. GAMBIT demands that his handler be a former CIA officer, Alex Garin, a former KGB officer who defected to the American side. The CIA had never successfully exfiltrated a KGB officer from Moscow, and the top brass do not trust Garin. But they have no other options: GAMBIT's secrets could be the deciding factor in the Cold War. Garin is able to gain the trust of GAMBIT, but remains an enigma. Is he a mercenary acting in self-interest or are there deeper secrets from his past that would explain where his loyalties truly lie? As the date nears for GAMBIT’s exfiltration, and with the walls closing in on both of them, Garin begins a relationship with a Russian agent and sets into motion a plan that could compromise everything.

My Friend the Mercenary available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “Intensely vivid story of war and the peculiar breed of warriors who fight in 21st-century Africa . . . and tribute to an extraordinary comrade-at-arms.” —Kirkus Reviews In February 2002, British journalist James Brabazon set out to travel with guerrilla forces into Liberia to show the world what was happening in that war-torn country. To protect him, he hired Nick du Toit, a former South African Defence Force soldier who had fought in conflicts across Africa for over three decades. What follows is an incredible behind-the-scenes account of the Liberian rebels—known as the LURD—as they attempt to seize control of the country from government troops led by President Charles Taylor. In this gripping narrative, James Brabazon paints a brilliant portrait of the chaos that tore West Africa apart: nations run by warlords and kleptocrats, rebels fighting to displace them, ordinary people caught in the crossfire—and everywhere adventurers and mercenaries operating in war’s dark shadows. It is a brutally honest book about what it takes to be a journalist, survivor, and friend in this morally corrosive crucible. “A classic story of intrigue, greed, and violence in one of the most dysfunctional countries in the world. It is a gripping story that I couldn’t read fast enough.” —Sebastian Junger, New York Times–bestselling author

Marrying her before God and king, he made her a free and respectable soldier's wife. Brice Ashlyn was born a slave. Abused and beaten, she learned quickly to avoid being noticed and to stay away from men. When her master's walls fell to enemy forces, she ran, but not fast enough. In Darius' offer she found deliverance, but experience had taught her to fear power such as his. Could she trust in his protection, or had she traded one form of slavery for another?

She was an impossible dream until fate made her my reality. Now, I’ll risk everything to save her. Laura: I had braced myself for a life of grim darkness, confined in a chilly cell as alien scientists turned me into their latest lab rat. Their twisted experiments aimed to produce a baby from my eggs. But then, they shifted gears and crammed a hulking alien into my cell. The ultimatum? Mate willingly, or they’d “make” him do it, anyway. As their powerful drugs swirled in my veins, my body screamed yes, but my mind cringed. Fear and doubts were my companions. Would I really give myself to an alien? Yet the instant his eyes met mine, I sensed the seismic shift my life was about to experience. But… Would this alien be my savior or my executor? Akira: I was relishing the thought of some well-earned shore leave. The mission looked easy: deliver the target and claim the bounty. But complacency was my downfall. They caged me with a human. A female, no less. Her scent filled the air, triggering a reaction from deep within me. I felt the pull of fate, and my primal urge to shield her from harm and claim her came roaring to life. As time ticked away and enemies closed in, nothing mattered except keeping her safe. And I’d do whatever it took to make her realize—she was mine! The Mercenary’s Embrace is a steamy, full-length sci-fi alien romance with a happy ending and no cliffhangers. This book is the prequel to a romance series that takes us to a galaxy featuring a spunky heroine who discovers her courage in the shadows and a protective hero who knows what he wants and snags it without a second thought. If you find yourself caught in Akira’s gravitational pull. Resisting is not just futile. It’s pointless. Give in and enjoy the ride!
