Book description
When a man known only as "Stranger" stepped off a boat onto the decrepit dock in Drytown, he soon found out that the past he was trying to escape was the least of his worries. While looking for a simple life in the tropics, he is thrust headfirst into a series of misadventures that give a whole new meaning to the term "island hopping". From treasure seeking pirates to third world revolutionaries, Stranger is caught in the middle of everyone else's problems. Paradise has its price and, with a little luck and a lot of liquor, Stranger might find the promise that tomorrow holds.

Book description
It started as a plan to bring the Communist Party back to power in Moscow. It turned into an act of vengeance by a former Colonel of the KGB to rid himself of a long time thorn in his side: Joshua McGowan. Josh must fly from Baltimore across the Pacific to a remote spot only miles off the Russian coast to rescue a young woman, once a Kremlin pawn of the Colonel's and the key to his newest plan. She, however, has her own plan and won't let anyone get in her way, not even Joshua McGowan. To stop the next Cold War, Josh must decide what is right and who must die before he kills the wrong person, or is killed himself.
