Counter-terrorism officer Simon Ashcroft thought he’d seen it all until he witnesses the massacre of elephants, compelling him to find those responsible and bring them swift justice.

Two short stories about an Australian Special Ops guy, Simon Ashcroft.
Good fun, short, and full of action.
FIRST STORY
-Blood Ivory
Saving Elephants
It starts out with Ashcroft and his two compatriates walking into an elephant herd slaughter in Africa. They try to find the poachers for Ivory and save some elephants. The subject as very interesting, so I liked it. The story was very short, very predictable, but still, I liked it. It will take you on a little short trip to Africa.
SECOND STORY
-The Assyrian Contraband
Saving Two Girls(young women)
As part of a security company in South Africa, Ashcroft is sent out to save a kidnapped girl. Much of the story and action takes place on a boat and with him underwater in the ocean. Again a pretty good short story
There were a few minor things, but I'll overlook them for a good story.
