Captain Calder Velden, a ruthless seafaring servant of the Secret Dutch Allegiance, had been summoned to serve his state in territories unknown.

1586AD his beloved homelands were under Spanish Rule, there seemed to be no answers on how the resistance could end the tyranny. Backed by incredible wealth, King Phillip II of Spain had established a World Power hell bent on conquering all known territories.

The Dutch Allegiance knew the Spanish had discovered an untapped source of wealth in the territories of Nueva Guinea. It was time to send their cut-snake captain to disrupt and cripple the southern supply of gold to the Spanish Treasury.

Calder was in command of the new stealth ship, ‘The Kharon’, specifically made for the mission. Christened after the mythical ferry boat of the underworld, she was to pursue, raid and pillage enemy merchant ships along the trade route south of Bantam and leave no survivors!

However, the unpredictable cloak and dagger mission itself could not have foreseen the Captain and Crew being entangled in mass murder, hoards of treasure, discovery of new lands and revenge that would span the best part of twenty years.

Everyone knows you must be responsible for your actions; but when you mix gold fever, pride, revenge and the open seas then perhaps you may be forgiven for forgetting your responsibilities.

In the case of The Kharon and her crew’s greed, wealth may just play second fiddle to survival.

A tale entwined around historical events!

Gold Trilogy

Boomerang Gold: It's The Lure And The Legend That Bring You Back

In Sixteenth Century Europe, as countries extend their global reach, an Anglo-Dutch Allegiance sets out to undermine and bring down the Spanish Empire.

When a wealthy Genoese banker and his vivacious wife employ a new tutor, they are under constant surveillance.

And not without reason, the Head of the Spanish Security is suspicious of the newly appointed tutor. It is also no coincidence the banker is enlisted to carry out business for the King of Spain.

Through erotically themed Masquerade Balls the Allegiance's cause is advanced. These risqué events provide opportunities for covert action and allow young spies to gather valuable intelligence. With the Genoese banker engrossed in the power of his position, secrets are revealed and treasures are uncovered.

But the Allegiance's cause is not the only one being pursued. In a series of twists and counter moves, Masquerade Gold leads the reader through the evolving struggles of a complex Europe.

Masquerade Gold: Discretion Is The Key To Staying Alive

The Treasures of Alexander the Great have intrigued people ever since he amassed them after his victory at Damascus. The lure of such vast amounts of wealth has taunted people for centuries. Many risked their lives to acquire them. Many gave their lives to protect them.

This story takes place in the twelfth century at the end of the Third Crusade, when European monarchs strove for empirical dominance. It was a time when life was brutal, men were courageous, and women were at the behest of these men’s desires.

Crusader Gold follows the fortunes and misfortunes of those who defended Alexander’s treasures, and the Crusaders who went to great lengths to seize them. Those French Knights intended to use their hoard to fund future humanitarian ventures across Europe. But as history has shown, the relocation of the treasures to places of safekeeping has led to the mysteries that have enshrouded them to this day.

When the young Alexandrian, Yasheed, breaks his oath to the protection of Alexander’s treasures, to spare his and his father’s life from the gallows, he sets a course that changes his own future as much as it does for his executioners. The knowledge Yasheed shares with the French General Pierre Favre and the French Knight Colonel Bertrand Resolu, sparks a thrilling adventure into the mysteries of hidden treasures, and the lengths men will take, to possess them. When the stakes were high enough, lives were expendable, and combat was brutal.

Crusader Gold is a story of courage, commitment, camaraderie and daring.

However, it is also a story about Alexander’s treasures and the spirit and determination of the men and women committed to their protection.

Following Boomerang Gold and Masquerade Gold, this is the final book in the “Gold” trilogy.
