COLD KILL: Location Report

by Leave a Comment

We’re just a couple short weeks away from the launch of Cold Kill, and the Caine: Rapid Fire series. So that means it’s Location Report time!

The Caine: Rapid Fire series focuses on short, action packed novellas. But Caine still visits plenty of exciting locales in this quick, fast paced adventure. I hope you enjoy a look at the thrilling locations of Cold Kill…

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

The villains lining up against Thomas Caine launch their sinister plan in the beautiful metropolis of St. Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia after Moscow.

The city is known for it’s stunning buildings & cathedrals… as well a spectacular array of clubs and bars, and worldclass nightlife. Here, the head of a Russian Mafia family plots his revenge, in a bar made entirely of ice. But things are soon going to get much, much colder. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold…

PATTAYA, THAILAND

Cold Kill picks up soon after the events of Devil’s Due.  Betrayed assassin Thomas Caine is still living off the grid, in Pattaya, Thailand.

This tropical paradise is a popular tourist destination. But it is also a city with a dark side, hidden in the shadowy alleys between the dance clubs and beer bars… as Caine is about to learn.

SIBERIA, RUSSIA

Caine soon finds himself on the run, stranded in the frozen wasteland of Siberia, Russia. This massive territory accounts for over seventy percent of Russia’s landmass, and yet it is home to less than thirty percent of the population. Well known for its prisons and labor camps, the mountainous region has a harsh, unforgiving winter season, where temperatures plunge to -25 Celsius or lower.

Caine must survive this brutal, punishing climate, while somehow finding a way to turn the tables on his enemies. Along the way, he traverses a strikingly beautiful frozen lake, much like this one:

Well, that’s all for now. Cold Kill launches February 16th on Amazon, and will be free in Kindle Unlimited.

In the meantime, you can read the other books in the series, Devil’s Due, Tokyo Black, Red Phoenix, and Fire and Forget. They’re all free in Kindle Unlimited, and most are available on Audible as well!

I hope you enjoy Cold Kill, and the new Caine: Rapid Fire series. As always, thank you for your reviews and emails…I read each and every one, and they keep me going!

Cheers,

CAINE: RAPID FIRE

by 2 Comments

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your 2018 is off to a great start. I’m particularly excited because next month, I’m not only launching a new book… I’m also starting a new series featuring betrayed assassin Thomas Caine!

Introducing:

CAINE: RAPID FIRE

Rapid fire reads… Rapid fire action!

The Caine: Rapid Fire series will consist of short, action-packed novellas.  Each book will focus on a story from Caine’s early career in the CIA’s Special Operations Group, as well as the period of exile after his betrayal. I may also feature some stories about his allies and enemies, like Jack Tyler, Officer Mariko Murase, Rebecca Freeling, and others.

I’ll still be writing novel length Thomas Caine thrillers as well, but the Rapid Fire series will cover the gaps in between. Think more books like Devil’s Due… quick shots of literary adrenaline!

In fact, Devil’s Due is going to be re-branded as Caine: Rapid Fire Book 1. I have a new cover on the way, and I can’t wait for you to check it out. But in the meantime, take a look at the cover and blurb for Caine: Rapid Fire Book 2: COLD KILL!

Caine returns in an action-packed, lightening fast read. Cold Kill is a quick shot of literary adrenaline…

Thomas Caine is being hunted.

To protect a friend, the vengeful assassin has taken on a sinister branch of the Russian Mafia. Blood has been spilled, and these ruthless gangsters know better than anyone that revenge is a dish best served cold.

Caine soon finds himself captured in the frozen mountains of Siberia. With no equipment, no supplies, and no weapons, he must survive in this icy wasteland, as a team of Russian mercenaries hunts him down. These expert killers are led by an infamous manhunter known as The Iron Wolf… a ruthless Spetsnaz commander who collects trophies from his human prey.

Can Caine outwit this lethal pack, and prove himself the ultimate predator in a ghastly game of death?

On the hunt for a new thriller? Set your sights on Thomas Caine… This 142 page novella takes place before Tokyo Black, and features a fast-paced adventure from Caine’s past.

Cold Kill take place before Tokyo Black, and picks up a few months after the events of Devil’s Due. Caine will have his hands full as he struggles to survive the bitter cold of Siberia, and the vicious hunting party on his tail!

I also plan to to use the Caine: Rapid Fire series to do some collaborating with other authors whose work I respect and enjoy. I reached out to the author who wrote my favorite thriller of last year, we are working together on Rapid Fire book 3!  We’ve already begun outlining the story, and I get goose bumps just thinking about it. This author I and share similar literary and thriller influences, and I know he will knock it out of the park…

So keep your eyes peeled. Cold Kill is launching next month, and I’ll have more details coming soon! Let me know in the comments what adventures or characters you’d like to see pop up next in Caine: Rapid Fire…
