Sea Gold by Ian Slater Pdf

“A first-rate, crisply told adventure story” of espionage, murder, and intrigue on the high seas from the bestselling author of the WWIII novels (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). The great gold rushes of history pale in comparison to the vast mineral deposits that await discovery below the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Vancouver. As adventure- and fortune-seekers flock to the area, their lives intertwine in a perilous game of greed and ambition. Some want glory, others wealth. But for all of them, the pursuit of sea gold has become an obsession. Against a raging sea storm, the crews of three ships resort to espionage, sabotage, and murder, each hoping to claim the ore that is so vital to America’s aerospace industry. Who will survive the storm? And who will win the race when coming in second means coming in dead? "As impelling a storyteller as you're likely to encounter." —Clive Cussler, New York Times-bestselling author of Havana Storm “Thrilling, fast-paced . . . Sea Gold combines a high sense of adventure with excellent character and story development. . . . An out-and-out winner.” —The Hamilton Spectator “Full of furious action.” —Quill and Quire

A MAN TO HIS MATE (Sea Adventure Classic) by J. Allan Dunn Pdf

This carefully crafted ebook: "A MAN TO HIS MATE (Sea Adventure Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpt: "There was a fortune in sight. For gold, men forget the obligations of life and law in civilization; they revert to savage type, and their minds and actions are swayed by the primitive urge of lust. Treachery, selfishness, cruelty and crime breed from the shining particles even before they are in actual sight and touch. Rainey knew that. He had read many true yarns that had come down from the frozen North, in from the deserts and the mountains, tales of the mining records of the West." J. Allan Dunn (1872–1941) was one of the high-producing writers of the American pulp fiction. He first made a name for himself in pulp magazine Adventure. He was a specialist in South Sea stories, and pirate tales. His main genres were adventure and western, but he also wrote a number of detective stories.
