Fletcher is sent halfway round the world aboard the frigate Euphonides to fight not the French nor the Spanish, but the British East India Company. The Company already owns India, and under the charismatic Director Kilbride, it wants to invade Japan and be independent of England. Fletcher is ordered by Lord Spencer, the First Sea Lord, to stop Kilbride by any means necessary. His adventure soon tangles with that of the young Samurai lord Masahito, sent to England to get western cannons and muskets for an imminent Japanese civil war. Fighting free of a deadly trap in India, Fletcher reaches Japan with Masahito as the Samurai war begins... From boisterous Georgian London to the exotic east, Fletcher and the Samurai is the fifth instalment of the Fletcher Series.

John Drake writes beautifully, and you'll be torn between savoring the words and quickly flipping the pages. Any favorable comparison to Stevenson or Patrick O'Brian is totally justified' - Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author

The discovery of a skull in high-country New Zealand sets in motion events that peel away the past to disturb the lives of men and women in small towns not used to outside eyes. For too many years their local affairs have been hidden away by time and back roads: a farmer's missing wife, their daughter the biker chick, a pregnant waitress, the go-to man "stooped as often as not over a truck engine, some farm machinery or a table at the tavern", the politician with both eyes on the main chance and a dark secret even he has forgotten. Central to them all is Pete Mackie, the only law back of beyond where sometimes the best way of upholding the law is by bending the rules. But like the towns he serves, not everything about Pete Mackie is what it seems - as rookie radio journalist Sandra Blaine discovers when she ventures off the highway on to gravel roads in search of someone else's story. A witty, racy page-turner, Mackie's Law sees the iconoclastic London-based sportswriter Graeme Wright return to the people and roots of early short stories set in his native New Zealand.

In the dimension where fire meets ice, my mate waits for me. And if I don't go to him, I'll die. I know I'm lucky to have a mate at all. Most would rejoice. Most would run to them. Not me. I want to stay with my family. I was trapped in the veil for the majority of my life, fighting to survive. And I'm supposed to leave them for a man I don't know? I'm tired of Fate making the decisions for me. Yet... The ache in my chest becomes too much. The thirst in my throat becomes unbearable. The need to mate is a call I can no longer ignore. Even if I've never touched or kissed another. How will I satisfy him? Finally, I go to my prince only to learn that I have not one, but two mates. A dragon and an elf. Not only do they rule separate kingdoms -- they are mortal enemies. Hatred is rooted deep in my dragon's fire and my elf guards a secret close to his heart that he refuses to tell. Forgiveness is the only solution. And the journey to getting it might be what kills us all. -The author recommends reading the other books in the series to understand the world and characters as they build off one another.
