Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lincoln Blackthorne, reluctant Rambo, very private investigator, and adventurer in spite of himself, returns for a fourth thrilling caper. “Why, ” Blackthorne wonders, “does everyone seem to know what I’m going to do, or where I’m going to be, before I do?" The reason is simple: People manipulate him, giving him no choice. In fact, the only one who hasn’t succeeded yet is Carmel--she wants Linc to marry her. He might be better off. Instead, he finds himself ducking a knife in a room in the Waldorf as he begins the search for the Fangs of the Hooded Demon, a relic of supposedly wondrous powers, which has been smuggled into the United States by Dutch Burgoyne. The fangs are carved rubies which were once part of a statue of a white cobra. The artifact once belonged to Vlad Tepes. According to the legend, the jewels are capable of bringing the dead back to life. Lincoln Blackthorne doesn’t believe in legends like that; but there’s no questioning the fact that the hunt for the fangs is capable of killing people. That’s why, finally, he escapes the snowbound East Coast and finds himself stuck in a blizzard in Oklahoma...with people who knew where he was going to be before he got there. Why didn’t he just marry Carmel? Would he, he wanted to know, live long enough to change his mind about that? And who had the fangs now, anyway?

Jerico's captors present him with an out-of-this-world opportunity… literally. Dove is given his heart's desire: to go to the limits of his powers to help save a wondrous land from certain destruction—to be the man to save the day. And all he's got to do is recover the Seven Holy Spears of the W'dch'ck, defeat an infinite array of the most malicious evils the world has ever seen, and stop the malevolent madman who's behind it all.

Download or read book The Patch of the Odin Soldier written by Charles L. Grant and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patch of the Odin Soldier marks the return to action of the intrepid and irrepressible Lincoln Blackthorne. Rambo, Woody Allen, and Indiana Jones all rolled into one, he’s a reluctant adventurer and soldier of fortune who masquerades as a mild-mannered New Jersey tailor. Although he’d rather be home taking the measure of a new suit, there’s always some new high-tech, high-powered criminal ready to take measure of him. Lincoln’s latest adventure takes him from the green mountains of Maine to the white shores of Hawaii in search of the Odin Soldier, an ancient Viking statuette. The small wooden figure is the source of miraculous supernatural power, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could lead to an age of destruction and dictatorship on a global scale. The wrong hands belong to one Florenz Cull, a white-haired, one-eyed, seven-foot giant, whom Lincoln has killed once already, but who keeps coming back for more. Cull has devised a diabolical plan to seize the statue and turn the world into a vast empire under his control. All Blackthorne has to do is stop him… Whether he’s cruising at nine thousand feet in a pilotless plane filled with poison, risking his hide in a red-hot bath of lava, or taking his chances with a red-haired seductress, it’s all in a day’s work for the misfit spy and master tailor out to sew up this case—before it unravels him. If you have an eye for fun, fantasy, and futuristic firepower, Lincoln Blackthorne is the man to watch. (previously published as written by Geoffrey Marsh)

No one’s asked Josh to look for the other missing people—residents of Oxrun Station who mysteriously and inexplicably vanished on their birthdays. Someone very definitely doesn't want him to find the clearing full of century-old gravestones, the clearing that feels so evil.
