SKELETON GOLD: Dark Tide

by Andy Lucas

The final book in the SKELETON GOLD duology takes James Pace from burning deserts to snow-swept ice sheets, as the action lurches agonisingly towards a terrifying climax. Lost in a raging ocean, dodging vicious icebergs and bullets, James Pace and Max Hammond must overcome daunting odds if they are to survive, let alone achieve their goal of finally uncovering the long-lost secrets of Project Scorpion. With killers from ARC closing in on every side, they can only hope that a McEntire rescue team finds them before the enemy does. From the frozen wastelands of the Antarctic ice shelf to the blistering heat of an African desert, unravelling one of Britain's darkest secrets will drag them into their most lethal adventure yet!

About the author

I have self-published 7 thrillers so far as well as a children's book and a short poetry anthology.

RACE AMAZON: False Dawn is the first in my James Pace thriller series. It was included in a collaboration box-set (HOTBOX) with 7 other indie authors in 2015, which became an international best seller.

I have always wanted to write, having been inspired by the great authors of the past like Tolkien, Lewis, Adams, Wells, Defoe and contemporary writers like Cussler, Higgins and Bagley.

I often write in small time windows but I do write more productively in lengthier spells, which is what I am increasingly doing. This helps me stay on track with multiple narrative threads and cuts down on a great deal of re-reading time prior to editing.

My new James Pace thriller will be released in autumn 2024, titled: ATLANTIS: Resurrection.
