Having lost two of the things he treasures most, retired Marine Shake Davis is at a low ebb. His give-a-damn meter is pegged on empty until he's contacted by a millionaire videogame producer whose wife has been kidnapped by a cutthroat band of paramilitary rebels in the deep, dark jungles of Myanmar-or Burma to Shake's way of seeing the world. The connection between a man who has just lost his wife and another man who stands to do the same if Shake can't or won't help, is karma. And it sends Shake on a long, twisted, and dangerous trek into territory that is involved in the longest continuous civil war in world history. Exotic Burma-Rudyard Kipling's inspiration and World War II battleground of Merrill's Marauders-is the scene of a mission that nearly costs Gunner Shake Davis his life. "Dale Dye uses words to paint a cinematic landscape. Shake Davis, a larger-than-life character, also possesses a realistic humanity and compassion that is incredibly relatable. It is an incredible read."- Keifer Sutherland, Actor, 24

Why would he want to revisit the places where he saw hell erupt around him?

He's unplugged and living the dream at a new Texas Hill Country homestead, but Gunner Shake Davis never really expected that to last. When he gets a phone call asking him to undertake a lazy look-see mission to determine the root of at-sea oil rip offs in the Gulf of Thailand, Shake returns to some old haunts in Southeast Asia. It starts in Bangkok, moves to a sea cruise in a commandeered junk, and winds up on Koh Tang off the Cambodian coast. And that backwater little spit of sand haunts Shake's memories from the days of the screwed-up Mayaguez rescue mission at the end of the Vietnam War. The bad guys on Koh Tang are oil pirates and just as deadly as the Khmer Rouge that nearly killed him back in 1975. A simple recon mission gets twisted, obscured, and altered-which brings Shake and his crew into a second Battle of Koh Tang Island.

She is most definitely a chip off the old Shake Davis block.

Cole Williams seemed born to the sea, racing sailboats and crewing yachts during his time as a cadet at the Coast Guard Academy, but when he reported aboard a cutter patrolling the Caribbean nothing he did seemed to please the command. His motivation to do the right thing always seemed to land him in hot water. At the end of a cruise in which he served admirably during open ocean rescues and hot pursuit of drug runners, Cole is unceremoniously kicked out of the Coast Guard for what the command deems reckless behavior and a bad attitude. That's when a dejected and disillusioned Cole decides to go rogue and make a few runs for the druggies he's spent so long chasing at sea. The twists and turns at that point are devious and dangerous as Cole shifts from modern-day pirate, to criminal fugitive to mole for his old service and the Joint Task Force charged with stemming the flow of illegal narcotics. While seldom in the headlines, the southern border of the United States has been a battleground for decades where the men and women of the Coast Guard and dozens of federal agencies have fought many a battle to keep illegal narcotics off the streets. In his debut novel, Brian Boland shares a story born from more than a decade of experience fighting the war on drugs. 

In the midst of a major move from suburban Virginia (“too close to the flagpole”) to the Great State of Texas (“my kind of place and my kind of people”) retired Marine Gunner Shake Davis is contemplating the government’s proposed normalization of relations with Cuba – and he’s not happy about it.  By the time he arrives at the new Davis homestead in a quaint little town south of the Texas capitol at Austin, he’s convinced – by instinct and past experience with tenacious communist regimes – that America is making a big mistake in making nice with the Castro regime  When Shake learns that an American intelligence analyst with a brain full of highly classified information has gone missing in Cuba, he mistrusts the physical evidence that the man is dead and heads for Havana to conduct his own investigation from the Guantanamo Bay Navy Base while normalization talks are ongoing in Havana. When that investigation reveals that the American is being held hostage on Fidel Castro’s private island, Shake, Mike and a small team of Marine Raiders stage a daring rescue from the sea.
