    About this ebook

    Former Australian Special Forces soldier turned mercenary Roman Nix is out on a limb. His mission completed he arrives back at the estancia of his employer, shifty millionaire Vitali Danako in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica, to find that Danako’s model daughter Katya is returning to New York, leaving him effectively off-contract and unlikely to be paid. Without a regiment and his true identity compromised by a cyberattack on the defence servers in Canberra, Nix tries to find solace in the arms of his lover, the quixotic Mishka, Katya’s twin sister. But the couple are disturbed by armed intruders from one of the drug cartels and Nix needs to dispose of the bodies.

    In the second of the Roman Nix series, Dank arrives with the news that Nix is to report to this former commander, Masters, now First Assistant Secretary with the Australian Security Intelligence Service, at Quepos on the Pacific coast, where the headless corpse of a missing operative and former mate of Nix’ has been dumped in the mangroves. While Dank whisks Mishka away on his catamaran the Buenaventura for a business trip Nix is left to piece together his friend’s final hours, bringing him up against the ruthless and deadly duo Emil and Ariana López, and their muscular Australian henchman.

    Alex Cantone

    Thank you for visiting my page on Smashwords. I am an Australian author, born in the UK, and have spent the past 20 years in the garrison city of Townsville, NQ. Writing runs in the family as my sister is a successful author. With the literary market stacked with books on outback romances and Australian history I decided to go for the contemporary: an Aussie ex-pat. With my partner I have travelled widely across Australia & NZ, Singapore, Japan, Turkey, W. Europe, South Africa, USA, Canada and Central America - giving me plenty of riches to play with. The Roman Nix series is set in Central America. The main character is a former Aussie soldier, with his lover, the quixotic Mishka. Though the characters are fictional, many of the scenarios are based on real-life events and / or experiences in my youth. For reading pleasure I find it hard to go past a tense taught thriller or books that make me laugh but no tearjerkers for this little vegemite.
