Paradise Gold
For those of you who have been asking, Paradise Gold, the second book in the Ben Peters World War II series, has just been published as an eBook and will come out next week as a paperback.
If you enjoyed In Pursuit Of Platinum, which reached #2 on Amazon's War stories and #3 on Spy Stories, I hope you find Paradise Gold just as exciting.
