Paradise Gold
About
America faces its biggest threat. Ruthless Nazis and Mafia assassins. And German U-boats threatening to devastate New York and other American cities.
And Ben Peters has to deal with two beautiful and dangerous women, who will do anything to get their own way.
If you enjoy action-packed historical spy stories the second of this riveting World War II series is for you, taking you on a rollercoaster ride from London to the Caribbean to Manhattan.
Reluctant spy Ben Peters fights evil forces as the Mafia and Nazis battle for French gold. In 1941, Martinique is vital to the outcome of the Second World War. France’s gold reserves are held in the vaults of Fort Desaix, and France’s Vichy Government and its Nazi masters want the gold repatriated to fund their war.
Although President Franklin D Roosevelt considers sending in troops, America has no wish to get involved in the ‘war in Europe’.
But behind the scenes, factions in the US government enlist the Mafia’s assistance to rescue the gold, and British Intelligence persuades Peters to act as a ‘neutral observer’ on the island.
Germany’s U-boats are dominating the Atlantic, and if they get the gold Britain and ultimately America will be doomed.
In this climate of danger and double-cross, Peters cannot trust anyone. And when he discovers the Nazis’ horrifying plans to wreak havoc on the United States, he faces a battle against the odds to save thousands of lives.
Praise for this book
This author is setting the gold standard for wartime thrillers. But is it fiction or fact? An enthralling read.
Riveting. Action packed, non-stop thriller that keeps you turning the pages. Definitely keeps you guessing as to what will happen next.
As World war two novels go, this novel explores the intrigue of spying and the depth of Nazi spies in the United States. The cruelty of the Nazis can never be forgotten, especially today when their philosophy is once again rearing its ugly head.
Excellent sequel in the series on Nazi Germany for a historical based fiction novel.
I ordered a 2nd and 3rd V. Robbie.
Another 100 mile an hour thriller from Vic Robbie. A great mix of Second World War, mafia and spies all set on a tropical island, what more could you want!
Very good writer, good story
Five stars. A great read... looking forward to the next one
Five stars. This is the second outing for Ben Peters, being in the wrong place at the right time just months after his first adventure 'In Pursuit of Platinum'
Like the first book, the detail of the background is excellent and draws the reader into the story.
This is a great storyline with WW2 as a backdrop. It has everything a spy story needs - a hero, a heroine, the Mafia, British Secret Intelligence all against the Nazi's - what else could you want? Still makes the reader wonder, is it fact or fiction - well done Vic
A great read, can't wait for the next book, maybe even the film of 'In Pursuit of Platinum'
Five stars
Fantastic book thoroughly enjoyed it. Descriptive detail clearly leaves you seeing the action take place. Good storyline...loved the last one...this is equally as good. Well done Vic Robbie...
