THE IVORY WAR

AN UTTERLY GRIPPING, ACTION-PACKED THRILLER THAT WILL HAVE YOU HOOKED.

Meet Johnny Silver. He’s an ex-mercenary who seeks justice whatever it takes. And that usually involves breaking a few things . . . 

Johnny Silver has four men he trusts above all others, his former crew: Bull, Red, Stan and Pieter. They have each other’s backs through thick and thin, no matter what. 

So when Pieter, now a ranger on a game preserve in South Africa, needs help, Johnny rounds up the crew and comes to his friend’s aid. 

Poachers are running rampant on the game preserve, killing elephants and rhino for ivory and the impala just for the sake of it. 

The local authorities are powerless to stop them, so it’s up to Johnny and his band of ex-mercenaries to run the poachers out of the preserve — forever. 

But the market for African ivory is so profitable, these desperate men will do anything to get it. Including murder. 

It all comes to a head when the poachers declare battle at dawn. It’s a challenge like no other, with Johnny and his crew vastly outnumbered. As the body count rises, a secret weapon is deployed to end things once and for all. 

Will this be Johnny’s last adventure? Or will he and his band of brothers live to see another day? 

Fans of The Magnificent 7, The A Team, Frederick Forsyth, David Baldacci, Matt Hilton, Lee Child, Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum will devour this series of addictive action thrillers. 

JOHNNY SILVER 

Johnny Silver lives in St. Jude in the Caribbean. He’s retired from the mercenary life and runs a beach bar with his wife Anna. His former crew have all made new lives for themselves. Bull, a 6-foot-6 Jamaican, also lives on St. Jude. The others have dispersed to their homelands. Stan, the tactician, runs a hotel in his native Poland. Red, a half-Comanche, is on his Texas ranch. The team’s ladies’ man, Pieter, is on a wildlife preserve in South Africa working as a ranger and conducting safaris. But this band of brothers can never be apart for long, and when they reunite, chaos will ensue . . .
