Sand Storm
About this ebook
Harry Delaney has finally accepted the offer from his partner, Mike Williams. He has sold his 49 percent share of the flying business to Mike. Harry and his family and Ziv Frakter have deserted the cold weather and moved on. They're living in Spain, where they're enjoying the good life of warm weather, blue sky, and constant sunshine. Thanks to the anticipated income from the sale of the business, he and wife Sasha and daughter Christa have put down a multi-million dollar deposit on a huge, modern villa.
When Mike and daughter Meeka show up in Málaga sporting a 50 million dollar airplane, Harry and family know something is up. They just don't know what. Following a family meeting, Harry and Mike are back in the thick of things in North Africa. Their beat-up, raggedy DC-3 with the faded paint has been replaced with the new airplane. Neither man wants to be responsible for getting it shot up, insured or not.
They've brought their old crew together to help them navigate the twists and turns of the blowing desert sands, but will that be enough to keep the cash coming in and the new airplane out of danger? Only time will tell.
Fourth in the Harry Delaney Adventure series.

About the author
Peter Duke's gypsy spirit has taken him to some strange places in the world, but now he's content to limit his adventures to riding a motorcycle and whatever he might encounter when he's on the road. Consequently, he's worked in bike shops doing odd jobs from planning and putting on rides down Mexico way, taking care of computer networking and security, and to picking up and delivering motorcycles from the L.A. basin to Las Vegas, among other things.
He's ridden over a lot of North America at one time or another from Canada to Mexico, and from Atlantic to Pacific. By far his favorite ride is up and down the length of the Baja Peninsula, where the people are friendly, the sun always shines and it’s warm in the winter.
Of everything that he has experienced in his all-too-brief life, Africa is perhaps the greatest enigma. It's a beautiful continent, rich in people, nature and resources, yet poor in all of those areas, too.
There are some missing years in there, but he likes to think a little mystery is good for the soul.
