The Takers Books

Josh Culhane and Mary Mulrooney risk their lives to gain possession of the valuable Gladstone Log before the evil Jeremiah Steiglitz finds it

An Epic novel of exotic rituals and the lure of the Upper Amazon SHE TAKES... ...an ancient map uncovered in the bustling bazaars of Istanbul. HE TAKES... ...a million-dollar ransom to rescue a kidnapped heiress. THE TAKERS... ...are Josh Culhane and Mary Mulrooney. They launch an incredible journey into the Brazilian rain forest. Far upriver, the jungle yields its deepest secret-the lost city of the Amazon warrior-women. But this uncharted world of piranha-infested waters and tribal head-hunters conceals an even darker secret, so sinister it challenges the furthest reaches of the mind...

In Charleston, South Carolina, where voodoo is still a powerful force, Josh Culhane and Mary Frances Mulrooney must stop a voodoo-inspired plot to set off a nuclear attack by an out-of-control submarine. The resulting blast would destroy the whole southern half of the East Coast, and with the help of a killer hurricane, maybe the whole world. Then M. F. Mulrooney is kidnapped by the voodoo bad priest to be presented as a gift to Asmodeus, the Prince of Evil, and it's up to Josh to rescue her, stop the sub and save the world. With zombies, good and bad voodoo priests and a couple of local bad guys trying to find Blackbeard's treasure thrown in for good measure, there's enough action to keep you turning pages right up to the final incredible ending.
