Mercenaries

Michael "Mad Dog" Hertzog

lived for soldiering—but he wasn''t willing to die following the orders of bureaucrats and incompetents. Now he and his private army of warriors-for-hire are doing war Dog''s way.

Hertzog''s right hand man

has vanished . . . along with $30 million of Mad Dog''s money. The evidence says a trusted British merc has gone rogue, but there may be a different, more virulent form of treachery at work here.

The plot

There are answers waiting aboard a train racing east from Moscow, carrying Russian gangsters, stolen Siberian diamonds, a shadow team of Iranian agents . . . and a pair of nuclear warheads. Suddenly the stakes have gotten perilously high for Mad Dog, his team, and the world . . . as time ticks rapidly away on a terrifying plot to bathe the Middle East in nuclear fire.
