About this series
The last place in the world Rainey feels like visiting is Vietnam—as a Green Beret during the war, he’d been responsible for a lot of deaths, and he’s still a wanted man. But when a powerful Mafioso offers him a quarter of a million dollars to find his son, reported Missing in Action but apparently still alive somewhere within the lawless hellhole known as the Golden Triangle, Rainey decides to risk it.

- The Deadliest Game (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #2)
2
Professional soldier Jim Rainey went to Argentina because that’s where the action was. Communist terrorists were forcing the Government to hire mercenaries—but only the toughest fighting men needed to apply. With six wars under his belt, Rainey signed on—at $2000 a month—as the leader of a special seek and destroy squad. His orders: take no prisoners. It was dirty, dangerous work ... but Rainey loved it.
- Yellow Rain (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #4)
4
Jim Rainey’s latest assignment was his toughest to date. A wealthy magazine publisher was paying him a cool hundred thousand dollars to rescue Charles Goldman, a journalist who’d been captured in Afghanistan while reporting on the secret war between the Russians and the Islamic rebels. Befriended by the chief of a nomad tribe that is decimated by an infamous poison gas known as Yellow Rain, Jim faced death at the hands of Afghans, the Pakistanis and an American CIA agent who’s gunning for Goldman ... and for Rainey as well!
- Massacre at Umtali (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #1)
Jim Rainey was an ex-marine from Texas who made his living doing what he did best—fighting. Now he was in Rhodesia, signing up for a nice fat fee as leader of a special anti-terrorist squad. The men under his command were a bunch of steel-hard killers like himself, the kind of men you don’t turn your back on even when you’re facing the enemy. Their target—a homicidal maniac known as ‘Colonel’ Gwanda and his murderous band of guerillas. When the fighting was over, Rainey would be a very rich man ... if he lived.
- Spoils of War (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #3)
3
Jim Rainey had fought in five wars, but the civil war in Lebanon is – and was – the bloodiest, most fiercely waged conflict in Middle East history. Christian against Moslem – and all armed to the teeth with the most modern weapons available. Rainey was getting good money from the beleaguered government, which was trying to build order from chaos, but there were times when the killing got to him. Rainey goes where the fighting is, no matter what the odds.
- Moro (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #6)
Jim Rainey was approached by the elderly widow of an American brigadier general, who wanted him to find a valuable document hidden somewhere on a remote Philippine island. Though he distrusted the widow’s motives, the price was right, so Rainey took the assignment. Bu he soon found himself dodging the bullets of Communist and non-communist rebels, President Marcos’ secret police, and freelance gunmen hired by parties unknown. They all had one goal in common—kill Rainey!
- Green Hell (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #5)
A wealthy Irish-American group hired Rainey to get rid of Daniel Larkin, a Vietnam vet turned professional killer who heads up a team of ruthless assassins and demolition experts in Belfast. Larkin’s gang is in the pay of both the IRA and the Ulster Defense League. So Rainey’s assignment is to either provide evidence that will put Larkin in prison for life, or kill him. Rainey’s problem: he has to survive long enough in bullet-riddled Belfast to complete the mission.
- Kalahari (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #7)
Many years ago, fellow mercenary 'Wild Bill' Corcoran had rescued Rainey from a grisly death in the African bush. Now it's Rainey's chance to repay the debt.

And Rainey's not about to let that happen!
- Golden Triangle (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #8)
The last place in the world Rainey feels like visiting is Vietnam—as a Green Beret during the war, he’d been responsible for a lot of deaths, and he’s still a wanted man. But when a powerful Mafioso offers him a quarter of a million dollars to find his son, reported Missing in Action but apparently still alive somewhere within the lawless hellhole known as the Golden Triangle, Rainey decides to risk it.
- Death Squad (A Soldier of Fortune Adventure #09)
Rainey had met her in Nam. Nancy Williams was a doctor, an angel of mercy; he was a killer, a cold-eyed angel of death. Yet somehow they became lovers for a brief and stormy period. Now Rainey had learned of her death in Central America at the hands of the Nicaragua National Guard. Enraged, he invades the rebel stronghold, a one-man demonstration of concentrated firepower and white-hot hatred. This is one job Rainey will do for free.
