Dirty Money by Larry Johns, a self-pub sequel to his 2011 Robert Hale-published mercenary action adventure thriller A Warrior's Code, which we've previously received free last year, so if you liked that one, you might want to try this as well.

With nightmares of past deeds threatening his sanity, Martin Palmer - hero of "A Warrior's Code" - wants out of the mercenary soldier business. The problem: he was good at it. Very good. The question: will the business let him go? His solution: try any damned thing that does not require pointing guns at people.

Keeping his profile obscured he ends up in Nigeria where, more or less on a whim, he opens a motor-repair business. Chance brings him together with a full-blooded Kenyan tribesman, Kowato Segani. The pair hit it off from the start, like long lost brothers, and Palmer hires him to help in the repair business. Neither of them know too much about motor repair and, understandably, the business as such does not exactly prosper. Of the two of them, only Segani really wants to make a go of it. But, for Palmer at least, it's a lot of fun, and he's sleeping nights.

Then, out of the blue, up pops a man who bears all the hallmarks of a mercenary recruiter. The offer is in mercenary numbers and the job is related to the mercenary business.

Apparently, something Palmer stole many years before, had already been stolen...and they want it back!

The Stone Dog by Robert Mitchell, another one of his treasure hunt action thrillers, this one an historical-ish adventure set in the 1970s, originally out from Australian publisher Boolarong Press in 1995.

20th September 1917 – Wakaya, Fiji.

The Count Felix von Luckner, Master of the German raider Seeadler, lowers a sealed iron chest into the waters of a small unnamed bay under cover of darkness.

17th December 1971 – Cairns, Australia.

The chance mention of von Luckner’s name revives memories of boyhood tales of the secrets of that far-off night, and of the iron chest watched over by the stone dog.

But were the tales, told by Uncle Max, bosun on the Seeadler those fifty-four years ago, true, or were they merely that, yarns, nothing more?

And if true – would the chest still be there?

And if true – will it be worth the bloodshed?
