Book excerpt: The former law professor at the University of Rome and now the CEO of Doti Enterprises, Drago Hawkwood conceives himself to be a modern-day mercenary like his legendary ancestor and fourteenth century condottiero, Sir John Hawkwood. A shrewd and daring man, Drago will stop at nothing to get what he wants, not even murder. Recovering from depression resulting from the untimely death of his wife and faced with few prospects, Marco Angello readily accepts his former law teacher's offer of a business partnership and soon finds himself caught in Drago's treachery that includes international money laundering and an unholy alliance with organized crime. As the business prospers, Marco assumes the role of heir apparent to Drago's fortune since Reginella, Drago's only child, has supposedly drowned years before. When Drago discovers that he has an American grandson and heir, he is elated with idea that he will not be the last mercenary. Drago entices the adopted Michael to Italy on the pretense that he is the winner of a summer scholarship sponsored by Doti Enterprises. While in the United States on business, Marco meets Daniella and falls in love with the American schoolteacher, who it turns out, is not what she seems. The plot evolves and soon deceptions begin to unravel, with revenge and murder close behind. How far Drago's greed and mendacity will go is anyone's guess...

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book My Friend the Mercenary written by James Brabazon and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “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
