The Irish Smuggler by Brian B. Kelly Pdf
“The Irish Smuggler is a rare find. Both a literary oeuvre and a gripping page turner. Highly readable in either context.” —Alexander Campion, author of the Capucine Culinary Mysteries “The Irish Smuggler is a multi-layered yarn of intrigue and adventure on a global scale. Stories that emerge from ‘The Troubles,’ tend to be rich in passion and adrenalin. Brian Kelly has invested The Irish Smuggler with a rich count of both.” —Stewart Meyer, author of The Lotus Crew and soon to be published, The Heist Broker “The Irish Smuggler is a great yarn! Well-written, well-researched, highly cinematic—and highly recommended.” —Rory O’Connor, author of Friends, Followers and the Future “Any Harvard graduate can write a book but only Brian Kelly could have written this thrilling adventure, The Irish Smuggler. It cries out for the big screen or a mini-series for the smaller screens around the world.” —Sergei V. Skvortsov, President of Phoenix Films, the leading prime-time television producer in Russia The Irish Smuggler is an adventure story which pits Padraic Egan and three other IRA volunteers, friends from childhood, against all comers as they smuggle arms into Ireland and global cannabis crops into the United States. Taking on the British Army, Afghan mujahidin, a seafaring hippy commune, Russian and Chechen gangsters, Soviet police and the American DEA, not to mention mother nature, their adventures are twisted and changed as continual opposition and obstruction force them to adapt. The reader will meet Afghan mujahidin as they fight a Soviet Army of monumentally superior force. Spanning a stretch of time from 1975 in Ireland to 1991 in New York, much of the story takes place in the heart of 1990 Afghanistan and across the USSR in its final weeks and days in 1991.
