"River of Ruin" is a lot of fun.

Non-stop action, good characterization, an original plot, and some mind-bending military hardware combine to make this a real page turner.

DuBrul combines control of the Panama canal, ancient Inca treasure and China's unending quest for world domination into a story that is both readable and discomfiting.

Mercer and his octogenarian friend Harry White again find themselves unwittingly involved in a battle for the very world as we know it.

All these elements combine to make this a very interesting and readable book.
