The Green God

A STOLEN IDOL. A CITY IN CHAOS. ONE NAVAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICER HAS TO GET IT BACK.

Tientsin is tearing itself apart. Rioting, arson, looting and murder have swept through the Chinese city since the Green God—a sacred idol of jade, diamonds and pearls—vanished from its temple. U.S. Navy intelligence officer Lieutenant Bill Mahone believes he knows where it is, and recovering it may be the only way to restore order before the violence reaches the International Settlement.

Disguised and working alone, Mahone enters the Chinese underworld in pursuit of the stolen idol. But thieves, corrupt military officers and armed mobs stand between him and his objective. Tortured, captured and buried alive in a coffin, Mahone must escape and keep moving before the city descends into complete chaos.

Two complete military adventures in one volume.

Five Mex for a Million — American soldier of fortune Royal F. Sterling is on the run in China after killing a man in self-defense. Once a captain under General Hseng, Sterling discovers that his former commander has taken a bribe to betray his own forces and leave the northern frontier open to a Japanese invasion. With only five Mex to his name—Mexican silver pesos then widely used as trade currency in China—a mysterious black chest draws Sterling into a conspiracy stretching from Peking to Mongolia.
