Synopsis

In "The Wild Geese," Stanley John Weyman crafts a rich tapestry of adventure and romance set against the backdrop of the turbulent 17th-century Irish rebellion. Through its engaging prose and vivid characterizations, the novel delves into themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and patriotism, highlighting the struggles of exiled Irish nobility. Weyman's narrative style is marked by intricate descriptions and a deep understanding of historical context, immersing readers in the political intricacies of the time while maintaining suspense and emotional depth throughout the characters' journeys. Stanley John Weyman, often dubbed the "Prince of Storytellers," was deeply influenced by his historical interests and experiences as a barrister. Drawing from his rich academic background and familial ties to the land, Weyman sought to illuminate the plight of Irish national identity and exile. His personal convictions and extensive historical research permeate the novel, allowing a nuanced exploration of a divided nation and the complexities of human desire amidst chaos. "The Wild Geese" is a compelling read that offers insights into the historical struggles of Ireland while delivering a timeless narrative of love and defiance. I wholeheartedly recommend this novel to readers who appreciate historical fiction woven with real emotional stakes, and who seek an evocative journey through a pivotal moment in Irish history.

“Taylor is one of today’s premiere authors writing about the world of special ops.” 
—Associated Press 
Former Special Forces officer Brad Taylor’s thrilling new novella sets Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill against a Serbian gang that makes the mistake of kidnapping someone they both hold dear. 
Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are no strangers to international conflict, but this time they’re facing a threat much closer to home. Amena, the young Syrian refugee they have taken into their care, is having trouble settling into her new life in South Carolina. As they all struggle to figure out the bounds of their new life, a fight with Pike sends Amena running to the streets of Charleston, where she befriends a girl and her Serbian guardian who may not be as harmless as they seem. 
Pike, wild with worry over Amena’s disappearance, makes it his mission to bring her home safely, but she is in much more danger than they realize. To make matters worse, classified nuclear information may also be on the line. While Pike is on the warpath, Amena learns of the Serbian’s true nature and the terrible ‘exit fee’ he exacts from girls who don’t play by his rules. 
Now it’s up to Pike to find her— but the risk will be much higher than he imagines. 
Includes an excerpt from Brad Taylor's upcoming Pike Logan thriller, Hunter Killer.

Paul Cutler is a former undercover operative, now working off the books for his handler, Malik Khalil. When Cutler is tasked with investigating the disappearance of an Australian marine scientist on a Taiwanese distant water fishing vessel, Cutler realises that the apparent murder he’s investigating points to a slew of much darker crimes. Onboard, Cutler discovers that the vessel’s crew members are kept as slaves, subject to brutal punishment and forced to work long hours with little rest. And when he learns of the recent massacre of the crew of an Indonesian fishing vessel in the same waters, he realises his quest for the truth will be meaningless if he cannot escape with his life. 
 
‘A ripping page-turner about shameful secrets just across the horizon – the subsidised rape of our oceans and the enslavement of the mariners who labour in the ravenous maw of industrial fishing.’ TIM WINTON 
‘Sharp and insightful, Cutler is a highly charged slow-burn thriller and an unflinching portrayal of the perilous state of our oceans and the dark side of the fishing industry. A prescient, urgent story for our times.’ SARA FOSTER
