Read The Tomb of the Gods (Matt Drake 4) Online
Authors: David Leadbeater
“Don’t join for Karin, mate. And certainly not for Hayden.” Drake had taken off the kid gloves with Ben the moment Kennedy died. He wasn’t about to put them back on now. “It won’t all be a bed of roses, you know. We could get our arses kicked. If you do join, make sure it’s for the team.”
“What’s our first assignment?” Ben asked eagerly.
Gates eyed him. “You think I’d move that fast?”
Hayden laughed. “I’d be surprised if you didn’t.”
“Well. . .there
is
something.”
“Let’s see what kind of major shit we can get ourselves into.” Alicia joined them. “And hey, what’s the HQ like? More importantly, what’s the armory like? Do we have our own jet? Oh, and that surveillance system that can see through walls? Now, that would be cool. . .”
Gates was laughing. “Well, I’m not too sure about the jet, but within reason, we should be rather well-equipped.”
Alicia grinned back. “That’s my kind of talk. Let’s drink to it.”
Drake grinned and nodded without paying too much attention. He’d already made up his mind and zoned out for a few moments. Memories of Belmonte and Emma spun out of the fog of memory to remind him of their sacrifices. One thing Drake promised himself was that he would seek out Emma’s father and explain what had really happened to his daughter. No parent should ever be in the dark about the fate of their child—no worse a torment existed.
And one vile name remained seared into his brain like a loathsome brand, like a wide-open, festering wound. The name
Coyote—
man or woman, near or far, assassin or official. . .
. . .one day, Drake would be there to claim much more than his mere pound of flesh from that person. And if the madness of vengeance claimed him afterward—then so be it.
THE END
Matt Drake will return soon (April/May) in a brand new adventure. If you are interested in David Leadbeater’s novels and want a little more information, then please continue reading.
David wrote this, and all his previous novels, in his spare time after work. If you enjoyed it, please help him out by leaving a positive review.
The Tomb of the Gods
brings to a close the ‘Odin Cycle,’ and now gives Matt Drake a chance to expand his horizons. The next adventure finds him cast adrift in shark-infested seas, marooned on a desert island, and facing a murderous, domestic threat like nothing before.
Beyond that, David has a completely new series planned for 2013, still in the action/adventure genre, but with a fresh approach, the completion of the Chosen Few trilogy and the next installment of his ‘Ghosts’ series.
All the latest news will be posted on his website first—
