About this ebook

BLACK HEARTS, GOLD WARRIORS is a tale of the hunter and the hunted. It is an adventure thriller, with an elaborate plot, that begins at the close of WW2 in Vietnam, climaxing in the Southern Philippines in the early 21st century. This an epic story of one man’s journey to rebuild his shattered life, always just one step ahead of his tormentor. And of his adversary, an evil man who will do anything to have the temple treasures looted from across the ancient Nan Hai trading route.
Into this cauldron of loss, desperation and conflict are woven layers of romantic tension and archaeological mysteries, in the midst of exotic sensory, cultural and travel locales of South East Asia.
Says Candice Lemon Scott reviewer of the book, ‘It’s a nail biting action thriller that breaks new ground within a timeless genre. Guaranteed to keep reader hooked from the explosive opening pages to its exciting conclusion. His writing is vivid and distinctive.’
Given 4.5 stars out of 5 by Bayanihan News, Australia. They say "A riveting action thriller set in Mindanao and Vietnam. It covers a period from the end of World War Two up to the early 21st Century. It reeks of historical setting, and the atmosphere, sounds and sights of life in SE Asia. It is a story of struggle, survival and redemption, in the midst of the hunt for ancient artefacts and treasures. Richards has provided a thrilling ride through the chapters, and has managed to bring its plot to a satisfying conclusion (there’s a “Breaking Bad”-like moment in there, (which I enjoyed). Altogether, “Black Hearts, Gold Warriors” was an easy, enjoyable read. It is the second in the series, and I would be looking forward to the third and final part of this trilogy."

Author

Nic Richards

Nicholas (Nic) grew up as a young boy into a teenager on Thursday Island in the Torres Straits of North Queensland, Australia in the sixties and seventies. The sea and the islands have always been a part of his life, filled with days of swimming, spear fishing, cycling, exploring old war-time forts, ship-wreck fossicking, digging up old settlements, all fuelled by an over-active imagination and curiosity. He joined the Royal Australian Navy for junior officer training, and left as a Sub-Lieutenant after five years of interesting training and wonderful experiences. He has gained several degrees and worked in ten countries in the Asia Pacific Region in international agricultural development. He now lives in the southern Philippines with his wife and two children. He uses his experiences of living in many countries and his exposure to the many different peoples, cultures, languages, foods, religions and lifestyles, to provide settings and realism for his writing. Nic has written and published two novels to date. Black Hearts, Gold Warriors is his second novel and it tells the tale of the hunter and the hunted across the exotic and dangerous landscapes of Mindanao and Vietnam, from the close of WW2 to the start of the new millennium. It is an action adventure spiced with historical fiction and romance, with wonderful and heady scents and sounds of life in the colourful and vibrant world of SE Asia. Nic’s first book called Gold of the Generals, is being revised and will be released in January 2018 and it is a wonderful story of the hunt for war loot and treasures in the Philippines and Papua New Guinea.
