JAWS OF DEATHIndia is a country whose history is written in blood, and its legacy is cities teeming with human misery and vultures profiting from evil and corruption. Balahadra Naraka is a big game poacher turned murderer of anyone who stands in his way: cops, soldiers, game wardens and, now, U.S. diplomats. His savagery, coupled with his own government's failed attempts to stop him, translates to open season for a warrior more than ready to end Naraka's long, cruel career.The hunt will take Mack Bolan to one of the darkest, least hospitable places on earth: the swamps and jungles of India's Sundarbans, where the warlord has taken the number one spot on the Executioner's most endangered list.

Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever written. Now, for the first time, they are available in electronic book format, so a whole new generation of readers can be swept away on the adventure of a lifetime. This is the eighth book in the series.Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, veterans of many battles, return in this novel to the seas where they first sailed as shipmates. But Jack is now a senior Captain commanding a line-of-battle ship sent out to reinforce the squadron blockading Toulon, and this is a longer, harder, colder war than the dashing frigate action of his early days.A sudden turn of events takes him and Stephen off on a hazardous mission to the Greek islands. All his old skills of seamanship, and his proverbial luck when fighting against odds, come triumphantly into their own. The book ends with as fierce and thrilling an action as any in this magnificent series of novels.
