Hawke
Author: Ted Bell

In his exciting thriller debut, Ted Bell delivers this brand-new hero in an adventure-packed tale driven by heart-racing action and an unforgettable cast of characters. From the pristine waters of the Caribbean to the gritty streets of Havana, Bell takes readers on a joyride through intense plot lines ripped straight from today?s headlines. HAWK... more »E is action adventure at its very best, a tale of mystery, international intrigue, and personal conquest that makes for one of the best thrillers in years.

When Hawke is seven years old, he witnesses an event that forever haunts his life. While on a voyage in the Caribbean, pirates overtake his father?s yacht, and hiding in a secret cabin, young Alex sees them brutally murder both his parents. Traumatized and shaken, he is sent back to England to live with his grandfather on the very island his ancestor, the legendary pirate Blackhawke, once called home. Over time, Hawke?s pirate blood serves him well and he grows up to be a military hero, climbing the ranks in the Royal Navy and excelling at all things deadly within the British special forces unit.

Now fully grown, Hawke spends his time working on secret missions for the U.S. and British governments. When the president wants Hawke to find out how a Soviet-made stealth submarine disappeared?and whose hands it has fallen into?he answers the call. Only this job brings Hawke back to the Caribbean where he will not only face the terrorists who are threatening the U.S., but also the cold-blooded killers of his parents.

The submarine has been purchased by three Cuban militants whose diabolical plot is to unseat Fidel Castro, take control of the army, and throw the U.S. out of Guantanamo. They may even launch a preemptive strike against the U.S., unleashing a torrent of nuclear warheads from their new submarine. Hawke is in a race against time?he must stop the Cubans before they destroy the stability of the country, the world, and Hawke himself.

There are difficult obstacles Hawke must overcome before he disarms the Cubans. He needs to rescue his girlfriend, Vicky, who is first nearly blown up, then kidnapped. He thwarts a deadly plan to detonate a biological weapon aboard the U.S.S. Kennedy. As the search for the Cubans intensifies, he continues having flashbacks about the night of his parents? murder, reaching the stunning realization that the terrorists and the murderers are one in the same. Before Hawke can exact his revenge, there?s an ancient treasure map that had been given to him by his father that will at last bring him face-to-face with the murderers and will change the course of their despicable plans.
