Evan Graver gets even better and better.
Ryan Weller steps from the last page of Dark Ship into the first paragraph of Dark Horse. And the main thing on his mind is the two crates of gold bars that went down with most of a shipload of weapons as the previous book, Dark Ship, was winding down.
He isn’t the only one who knows about the gold. The man who believes that the gold belongs to him as payment for the shipload of weapons he just lost is patiently waiting for Ryan to do the heavy lifting and salvage the gold, before handing Ryan over to the Mexican drug cartel that wants him captured and tortured to death. And a Haitian warlord / war-lady(?) wants the gold to help her impoverished Haitian citizens rebuild after that last killer hurricane.
Lots of diving scenes that make for a suspenseful narrative, a kidnapping, lots of shootouts, some unlikely alliances and subsequent betrayals, and Evan Graver just gets better and better.
Books #4, #5, and #6 (Dark Shadows, Dark Paradise, and Dark Fury) are combined for just $9.99 (Canadian) and I already have that “boxed set”, plus Dark Hunt, Dark Prey, and Dark Prey (already read and reviewed).

One less gunrunner
This exciting series continues to grab my attention and take my breath away. Whether it’s flying lead or an over eager tiger shark. Ryan Weller is taking out the bad guys, one by one. But it is personally frustrating that my body DEMANDS some sleep in each 24 hour period....

Outstanding
I have a strong suspicion that this book is based on a real life experience. The writing is just too detailed to be fiction. Very well done!!!!
