Blackjack: Shooters
Blackjack is Arron Day, an African American soldier of fortune living in a tumultuous time. An era of hot jazz, ancient terrors, deadly quests, and a looming world war. Highly paid to beat the odds, he travels the globe battling powerful enemies, the ghost of his past, and the bigotry of his times.
“Shooters” is a hard-hitting collection of globetrotting mysteries and adventures in the 1930s and their eerie reflection of the problems of our time. Bigotry, racial tensions, gun violence, greed and the challenge of seeing each other as human beings was as troublesome in the “dirty thirties” as it is now.
From New York to Shanghai, Arron Day must use his wit, fists, and weapons to save lives, while battling armies, cults, and killers!
It’s the 1930s … a good time for a dark hunter.

Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan are (individually) back at it with this seven story collection featuring Arron Day - a.k.a Blackjack - a black adventurere/soldier-of-Fortune who travels the world in the 1930's dealing (often times) death and (more often than that) violence for money, to settle vendettas or help out a friend or innocent in the cross hairs of danger.
In my opinion the stories range from great to passabale but all worth finishing and engaging in their own ways. The stories "Leap Of Faith" (featuring a series of murders in Harlem and a bevy of historical figures tied to Blackjack's past and trade in one way or another) and High Road to Terror" (where Day must save himself, someone close to him and an entire country from utter destruction) are my personal favorites. Those that find well researched adventure yarns their cup of tea are likely to find "Blackjack: Shooters" worthwhile. Likewise those that are familliar with the Blackjack character from the past.
