If you are one of those people who like a real, tactile, physical, Johannes Gutenberg-type paper book in your hands, I have come over from the “dark side” and published my four Bob Burke ebooks in PAPER, just for you. The Great Goddess Amazonia makes them available on each of the book pages and you can order them and she’ll have them printed and shipped to your door by her Kindle minions. Won’t that be fun!

Who is Bob Burke? An undersized former Army Delta Force Major who served four tours in Special Ops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now a telecommunications company executive dismissed as simply the “phone guy.” But whether he’s carrying a .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifle, a tactical knife, or just his bare hands, he’s the most lethal killing machines the US Government ever produced. While he’d like nothing better than to kick back on his North Carolina farm, trouble has a way of seeking him out. First the Chicago Mob, then the New York Genoveses and Luccheses, a home-grown ISIS cell, and most recently the Russian Mafia, payback is always a hoot!

The new Bob Burke Action-Adventure Series 3-Book Boxed Set is now on Sale on Kindle

Yesterday I released a 3-book boxed set of my Bob Burke Action-Adventure Series. Now, you can get the whole saga, all three books in one edition, and at a 33 percent discount from the normal Kindle prices. Together, they have a 4.6 Star rating and 482 Five-Star reviews. The box set contains Burke’s War, Burke’s Gamble, and Burke’s Revenge.

Think the American Sniper meets The Godfather and Bob Lee Swagger takes on Islamic terrorists from Isis. Mild-mannered and slight of build, this telecommunications company executive is often dismissed as the “phone guy.” But Bob Burke is a former Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, who spent four tours in Iraq and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, and he is one of the most lethal forces of nature the US government ever produced.

In Burke’s War, he sees a murder taking place, and he isn’t the kind of guy to leave something like that alone, despite corrupt cops, Mafia hit men, a psycho doctor, and a vindictive ex-wife who is trying to take his business away.

In Burke’s Gamble, when one of his men is thrown off the fifth floor of an Atlantic City casino run by the mob, payback’s going to be a hoot!

And in Burke’s Revenge, when a home-grown ISIS cell strikes the Special Operations leadership and command structure inside Fort Bragg itself, in Delta’s own Fayetteville North Carolina backyard, it’s time to strike back.

April 27, 2017 by William F. Brown Leave a Comment

One of my reader favorite e-books, and one of my own favorites, The Undertaker, is on a Kindle Sale today, 75% off! Grab a copy. It features the ever-popular Pete and Sandy, and with 4.4 Stars on 250 Kindle Reviews, it is easy to see why.
Someone with a scalpel and embalming table is planting bodies under other people’s names.

Pete Talbott, a harried Boston computer wonk, is still grieving over the death of his wife, when he finds himself at the wrong end of Gino Parini’s .45 reading his own obituary torn from the morning newspaper. Talbott figures it’s all a big mistake, until Parini shows him his wife’s obituary too; and that’s a mystery that Pete Talbott can’t leave well-enough alone.

Sandy Kasmarek is a kick-ass art gallery attendant on Chicago’s stylish North Michigan Avenue, and her late and un-lamented husband is also featured in another of the bogus obituaries.

With a photographer’s sharp eye and the quick feet of a black belt, she and Pete are soon embroiled in government corruption, organized crime, and an FBI undercover shell game.

From a funeral home in Indiana, to car chases on the Dan Ryan Expressway, a bloody townhouse in Boston’s Back Bay, snipers in New York’s Washington Square, the cramped lower bunk on an AMTRAK train, they find themselves knee-deep in sleazy lawyers, corrupt County sheriffs, the FBI, and Mafia hit men. And if Pete and Sandy can’t stop him, they know they will be next on the Undertaker’s list.

If you are looking for a good beach book, a thriller novel to curl up with in front of the fire, or one to take on a long plane flight (especially if it’s on United or American and you want to zone-out all those pushy Flight Attendants) this fast-moving conspiracy thriller from the author of Burke’s Gamble, Burke’s War, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon, and Aim True, My Brothers, is just what you need. Enjoy!
