They Call Me the Mercenary #9
The Terror Contract
Hank Frost, the one-eyed mercenary captain hires out to the CIA to shepherd one of the world's most hunted female terrorists. She's sought by law enforcement agencies in all the countries of Europe, and stalked by the terrorist organization she's double-crossed in exchange for asylum.
But the fast-shooting soldier of fortune has different plans for the girl. He aims to use her to backtrack into the global terror network to find the people who planted the bomb that killed his number one lady, Bess.
From Rome to Istanbul, Frost follows a bloody trail of killings, kneecappings and kidnapping. Only once is his vengeance side-tracked: when he meets the beautiful brunette who says she's a traveling student—with the face of an angel and the hands of an assassin!

Jerry Ahern (born Jerome Morrell Ahern; 1946 – July 24, 2012) was a science fiction and action novel author best known for his post apocalyptic survivalist series The Survivalist. The books in this series are heavy with descriptions of the weapons the protagonists use to survive and prosecute a seemingly never-ending war amongst the remnants of the superpowers from pre-apocalypse times. The series centers around the attempts of Dr. John Thomas Rourke, an ex-CIA agent, to preserve his family. In the first book, a nuclear war begins while Rourke is returning from a business trip. After surviving the crash of an airliner in the Southwest United States, Rourke fights his way across the chaotic horror of the post-war United States to his hidden subterranean survival retreat in Georgia, where he eventually reunites with his family. Survivalist #10 begins a new phase - it takes place after Earth's atmosphere has been destroyed and Rourke and his family have been in cryogenic sleep for 500 years.
Ahern was also a firearms writer, who has published numerous articles in magazines such as Guns & Ammo, Handguns and Gun World. As of May 2010, he was a contributor to the monthly "Field Issue" column to the latter publication. One of his recognized areas of expertise was holsters and leather gear for firearms, and he has produced a line of holsters.
