The Sword of Yasuke
History remembers Yasuke as a curiosity — an African warrior at the court of Oda Nobunaga, Japan's most powerful warlord. It forgot that he was also the last guardian of something far older than the samurai who trained him.
When ex-SAS operative Lucas Redmond travels to Japan with archaeologist Natasha Travers and intelligence operative Ellen Paige, he expects to find an artefact. What he finds instead is a bloodline — his own — and a four-hundred-year-old sword that has been waiting for him specifically.
Aurora Holdings has been hunting the same blade. Their black-ops team is already in Japan, and they don't just want the sword. They want what it unlocks — an ancient power source that could reshape the balance of the world.
From the underground fighting pits of Osaka to the sacred shrines of Kanazawa and the volcanic heart of Aogashima, Lucas must choose between the man he's been trying to become and the weapon he was born to be.
The sword doesn't care about redemption. It only cares about the blood.
The Sword of Yasuke is the seventh book in Desmond G. Palmer's Acquirers series and the opening chapter of the Sword Trilogy. Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Matthew Reilly and Steve Berry.
The Sword of Destiny
Joan of Arc went to the fire clutching a secret. Not faith. Not defiance. A sword.
Archaeologist Natasha Travers has always known the legends hide something real. Now she has proof — and so does Aurora Holdings. When intelligence confirms that Joan's legendary lost blade was broken into three fragments and hidden across three continents, Natasha leads Lucas Redmond and Ellen Paige on a desperate race from the châteaux of France to the deserts of Egypt and the ancient fortresses of the Holy Land.
Henry Mason is hunting the same fragments. Patient, brilliant and entirely without ideology, he has been building toward this moment for years. Voss is the blade he's chosen to cut through anyone standing in his way.
Mason doesn't want the sword. He wants what it opens.
The Sword of Destiny is the eighth book in Desmond G. Palmer's Acquirers series — a breathless blend of archaeological thriller, conspiracy and ancient mythology that fans of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly won't be able to put down.
Ghost Operative
Zero Hour
48 HOURS. ONE SHOT. A WAR TO STOP.
A sniper's bullet shatters the night. Lucas Redmond's target is dead — but not by his hand.
Kane says hello.
The name crackles through their hijacked comms frequency and changes everything. Kane — Lucas's lost lieutenant, the ghost of Operation Nightfall — is alive. And he hasn't been waiting. He's been building.
In forty-eight hours, a secret summit beneath the Kent coast will trigger a false flag operation, release a bioweapon, and ignite a war that no side is prepared to win. Lucas and Ellen Paige — elite hacker, the woman who spent eleven months hunting a dead man and found him — have one chance to stop it.
But Kane knows them. Their methods. Their weaknesses. The specific fear that stops Lucas cold when the water starts rising.
And buried in a government server at midnight, Ellen finds something worse than the bioweapon.
Her own name. On a kill list.
Kane didn't just plan for them to fail. He planned for them to be there.
Forty-eight hours. London to Dover. The clock is already running.
Trained in the shadows. Always personal.
