Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Jake Merrick is a pilot in Vietnam who knows how to fly almost anything—and how to get himself into debt. When a gambling debt puts him in the hands of a dangerous local operator, Jake accepts one illegal night flight. It should be a simple cargo run. It isn't. The passengers are wrong. The paperwork doesn't add up. And the woman sitting behind him seems to know far more about the flight than she is willing to say. What begins as a desperate attempt to erase a debt pulls Jake into a hidden aviation network moving gold, money and something much more dangerous through Southeast Asia. As an intelligence contact begins asking questions, Jake discovers that the aircraft he flies—and the people who depend on him—may be part of a game far larger than he ever intended to enter. But the greatest danger may not be the people watching him. It may be Jake's own willingness to keep saying yes when the money is right and the consequences can wait. Fast-moving, atmospheric and grounded in the world of pilots, aircraft and Southeast Asian aviation, Cargo Run is a standalone aviation thriller about debt, loyalty, deception and the price of choosing who you work for.
