Definition of "Action and Adventure Genre": You may ask yourself, how does an Action and Adventure ebook differ from a Thriller ebook? Fair question. They may seem similar, but the main aspect of an Action and Adventure ebook is the element of consistent physical danger as a main part of the storyline. So, while our reference to Tom Cruise and, for instance, his Mission Impossible series was slightly tongue-in-cheek, those stories would actually fall into the Action and Adventure genre. Another important aspect of the Action and Adventure genre is that the pace of the novel using action is actually just as important as character building and setting--which makes the genre differ from others in a significant fashion.
Some examples of Action and Adventure bestselling ebooks are James Patterson (most of his Alex Cross novels), Pierce Brown (Red Rising), Tom Clancy (most of his Jack Ryan novels), and A.G. Riddle (The Atlantis Gene).

‘Someone has to save the world. Might as well be me … Oorah!’
The first pulse occurred in the old calendar year of 2022. A sequence of gigantic solar flares created a series of massive electromagnetic pulses that stopped the heart of our modern world and returned us to the DARK AGES.
Tens of thousands died within the first few hours as airplanes fell from the skies, hospitals ceased to work and every form of modern transportation ground to a halt.
Within days the death toll had reached the hundreds of thousands. Fires raged unchecked through the cities, water supplies ran out and survivors turn on each other as mob rule surpassed all else.
And Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Nathaniel Hogan finds that he has been changed by the huge amounts of Gamma radiation in the solar flares. They have enhanced his natural abilities, giving him increased speed, strength and healing. Indefinitely extended his life span and enabling him to be able to draw on the power of the solar flares to create magik. Making him … The Forever Man.
But even The Forever Man was not prepared for what happened next, as the ongoing flares tore a hole in time and space, creating a gateway through which ‘they’ appeared. From the realms of fantasy came the orcs, the goblins and, leading them all – the Fair Folk.
But were they here to help – or to conquer?
England, 1941. And the battleship Bismarck is about to set sail.
Undercover agent Xanthe Schneider has returned to England, following her mission in Berlin, with vital information… and a baby growing inside her.
In the months that lead up to the birth, Xanthe occupies herself with work and regular visits to Bletchley Park, but this does little to take her mind off her sense of isolation, caused by a father who doesn’t respond to her letters, a lover who turned out to be a traitor and being five thousand miles from her home in Cincinnati.
Following the birth, she decides that her duty as a mother must take priority. The baby needs her, and nothing will make her return to the field.
But the British military has other ideas…
It is not long before Xanthe finds herself on another mission, one which, if successful, will use Enigma code to pinpoint the missing battleship and save many lives.
This story offers an insight into the German invasions of Greece, and the desperate struggle to find and destroy the Bismarck. It is the sequel to bestselling The Berlin Affair but can be read as an page-turning stand-alone.
A must-read for fans of Robert Harris, David Downing and Alan Furst.
This is the second book in the Xanthe Schneider trilogy

‘Authentic and entertaining. Robert White has written one of the best crime thrillers of the year’ – Thomas Waugh
‘Pitch-black and granite-hard, Breaking Bones delivers over and over. A breathless, sweeping tale of love, blood, crime and vengeance that grips you by the lapels and forces you along for the ride. Highly recommended’ - Robert Parker, author of A Wanted Man
'Reads like a frightening true crime story. An addictive read. Superb' - Keith McCarthy, author of A Kiss Before Killing Dead or Alive
Born in Leeds, England, the illegitimate son of a jazz musician and a factory girl, Robert White grew up hating school and was a regular truant. Joining Lancashire Constabulary in 1980 changed his life. He served for fifteen years, his specialism being close protection and tactical firearms. Robert then spent four years in the Middle East where he took up a training role, working alongside retired members of the UK and US military. Robert White's novels regularly appear in Amazon's top ten bestselling Crime and Action and Adventure charts. He captures the brutality of northern British streets in his work, combining believable characters, slick plots and vivid dialogue to immerse the reader in his fast-paced story-lines.
Eventually, he comes to love the family and lives the life of the all-American boy. However, he cannot rid himself of a nagging feeling that he has a greater calling in life.
Fourteen years later he competes at the Beijing Olympics for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and wins his birth country’s first ever medal – gold in the decathlon. However, the nagging feeling persists, not satisfied by Olympic gold.
Revered, he returns to the Congo as a guest of the president and is mobbed by adoring crowds. Maya Tansi, his closest childhood friend, has metamorphosed into a beautiful woman, and they become reacquainted. When Maya tells him Western countries are bribing politicians and plundering the country’s mineral wealth, he does not believe her.
He soon finds Maya is right. Government induced bribery, corruption, rape, and murder are taking place in the Congo on a grand scale. Western and Chinese mining companies are ripping gold and minerals out of the earth without paying compensation or taxes. When the poor, oppressed people protest, they are imprisoned or murdered.
Finally, Joseph realizes what his calling is, but it involves risking his life, and the lives of those whom he loves.
