Hold on to your seats and be prepared for even more action, thrills, and rescues. This is the second book in the John River series.
River takes a job on a cruise liner because of a voice in his head from the past, but he does not realize why this ship is a man short.
Trying to bend River to their will, a Mexican cartel abducts the daughter of a man to whom River feels a debt. They have no idea of the fury that they have unleashed.
They will pay the total price of entering River’s world.
An extract from River Deep….’It was 2 am at the helicopters, and he had listened to River’s voice on the radio. “Guns, prepare for the exit; you will know when to go.” Guns had frowned and thought for a moment, then turned and gestured to his men, “Team, we are leaving; Comms, Eagle to me now,” he ordered. Comms came running from the Tiger helicopter, and Eagle started clambering down from his Cougar perch. “Pick up the stretchers, let’s get ready to move,” order Guns. The men each grabbed a handle on a stretcher, and as a group lifted, all three stretchers rose into the air, with a man in each corner. The men shuffled a bit to ensure their gun hands were free, and then they stood and waited. Suddenly, the night was broken by two large explosions and then screaming and rapid gunfire; it was all coming from the far point designated as the Reaper target. “Let’s go,” ordered Guns, and the twelve men began to move. They eased up into a jog and headed back out to the gap. It took less than a minute to cross the open area, leaving the helicopters behind; they were through the gap in seconds and heading back towards the FOB. More explosions rocked the sky behind them, with continuous screaming, shouting, and lots of gunfire. “My god, it sounds like the devil is attacking those men,” said Sergeant Destino to Guns. Guns was leading the way, and Destino was on his left carrying the same stretcher, “it is a devil, Sergeant; those jihadists do not know what they are dealing with,” said Guns in a low voice.‘
