A Mitch Blaine Adventure: Blaine and Beyer, recuperating from their recent narrow escape from almost certain death in a lost canyon in Utah, were about to call off their afternoon's fishing in Apache Lake, Arizona, when the girl literally dropped in on them from an aircraft flying overhead. She plummeted to the water and went to the bottom without a sound. Blaine, ever the recalcitrant hero, dived in after her and spent several long, terrifying seconds releasing her from the heavy bars wired to her feet. Her name was Gabby Alvarado, and now Blaine wanted her to have a new chance at life. But when she came around, the story she told of the events preceding her near-drowning led Blaine and Beyer on a hunt for lost Spanish silver, a long-abandoned railroad, and ultimately to a murderous gang of drug-runners and human traffickers; one of the most cold-blooded bands of killers they had ever encountered. And now these thugs wanted Blaine and Beyer - dead....

Mitch Blaine, aviator extraordinaire, returns! In this third much-awaited novel in the series, Mitch Blaine and his learned sidekick Beyer have returned to their isolated retreat on Apache Lake in the Arizona desert, where a young Mexican girl has been ruthlessly tossed out of a low-flying aircraft. After saving her life, they are drawn into a battle of retribution with the same gang of thugs who attempted to slay her. Severely wounded in the ensuing fray, Beyer has unilaterally determined that it is time to go home. Now the intrepid duo has decided to fly back to Australia in their vintage PBY flying boat, the Wayward Wind. They plan a fuel stop in Vanuatu in the South Pacific to visit some old friends at Havannah Harbor-a repair base for the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet just prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea-on the island of Efate. Only thing is, it's cyclone season down there, and one of the most devastating storms that part of the world has ever known is heading right toward Vanuatu. When Blaine and Beyer arrive at the exact moment that the cyclone is battering the islands, they inadvertently fly into one of the most bizarre adventures they have yet encountered-and literally right into history!

Mitch Blaine never could refuse the plea of a beautiful woman. When Ronnie McCall, Mitch''s long-forgotten love, shows up out of the blue begging for help to locate her lost husband and brother-both U.S. Air Force special ops officers who have disappeared in Texas-Mitch, an ex-Australian Air Force and airline pilot now living a sybaritic life on his own WWII PBY flying boat in Sydney Harbor, agrees to come to the rescue. Mitch and Beyer, his retired physicist partner, decide to literally fly to Ronnie''s aid in the PBY, the Wayward Wind. Their flight across 8,000 miles of Pacific Ocean and into the vast, rugged, and unexplored canyons of the Escalante River in Utah is harrowing enough. But their attempts to trace the missing airmen turn dark and dangerous as they stumble upon something sinister and supernatural in the heart of the Navajo Nation. What they discover in that maze of mysterious canyonlands turns out to be far more eerie, bizarre, and deadly than they could ever imagine in their wildest dreams... The Escalante Enigma is an action-packed novel set in the heart of the American Southwest. Filled with high drama, the book is both gripping and beautifully rendered.
