Synopsis

They took her from him. Now they’re going to pay.

A winter’s night in Donegal, Ireland is the wrong place at the wrong time for Brooke Marcel when a friend’s invitation leads her into a deadly kidnap.

But not every woman has a man like ex-SAS officer Ben Hope. On hearing of Brooke’s sudden disappearance, Ben heads for Ireland to investigate as only he can. What is the mysterious link between the kidnapping, the salvage of a sunken 16th-century Spanish warship and the secret activities of its wealthy discoverer? Racing against the clock, Ben’s furious search leads him from Ireland to the Spanish mountains and the rainforests of Peru. As the trail of wreckage and mayhem intensifies, he soon uncovers a web of intrigue, corruption and brutal murder.

But will he be too late to find Brooke alive?

Praise

‘Mariani’s novels have consistently delivered on fast-paced action and The Armada Legacy is no different. Short chapters and never-ending twists mean that you can’t put the book down, and the high stakes of the plot make The Armada Legacy as brilliant to read as all the previous novels in the series.’
—Female First

‘Sunken secrets, psychos in the jungle, a dark twist on a Hitchcockian Vertigo-style obsession – The Armada Legacy is slick, serpentine, sharp, and very very entertaining. If you’ve got a pulse, you’ll love Scott Mariani; if you haven’t, then maybe you crossed Ben Hope.’
—Simon Toyne, best-selling author of the Sanctus Trilogy

‘Authentic settings, non-stop action, backstabbing villains, and rough justice — this book delivers. It’s a romp of a read, each page like a tasty treat. Enjoy.’
—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The King’s Deception

‘The pace of the novel is so strong and the efforts of Ben to find Brooke are satisfyingly complex . . . as for the villain, you’d have to read a lot of thrillers to find a villain as nasty and as corrupted and yet as human as this one.’
—Amazon VineVoice review

‘A riveting read, and a very difficult book to put down. One of the best novels I’ve read in months.’
