About the Book

It's 1942. With war raging, and millions of lives hanging in the balance, the world faces an urgent need for chin-up heroics. Having barely escaped South American headhunters in his last adventure, Jack Hunter seizes the chance to prove his courage. He uses "skills" picked up as a former actor so he can pretend to be a Chicago gangster and pursue spies collaborating with the mob. A bold plan, however, is not always a clever plan, and when Jack goes missing hope falls on Maxine Daniels, the great love of his life, to pick up a trail that leads all the way to Shanghai, China. Once there, she finds Jack in a race against time involving priceless jewels, secret weapons, a mysterious Chinese singer, and a fiendish warlord. It's been five years since they survived the Amazon. This time Jack and Max set out to save more than each other - and end up facing a greater danger than they ever could have imagined. Also included, a book bonus - Jack and the Jungle Lion, Jack Hunter's first adventure. Rave Reviews for Jack and the Jungle Lion... "I was delighted with it from page one to the end. It's amusing, rollicking tale will make you nostalgic for the old days of glitzy Hollywood when fantasy and reality were often too close to tell apart." - Ron Fortier, Pulp Fiction Reviews "... has the crackle and snap of a thirties comedy. There's also plenty of the cliff-hanging action of a Saturday morning serial." - Kendahl Cruver, A Classic Movie Blog dot Com "Here's a debut novel that will knock your socks off. The pacing is spot-on, the characters believable and endearing, the action jumping off the page. Stephen Jared has just staked his claim as a pre-eminent voice in the growing legion of writers producing retro style adventures. Jack and the Jungle Lion is a topnotch entertainment." - Errol Flynn biographer Thomas McNulty "Jack and the Jungle Lion may be an affectionate tribute to adventure serials and screwball comedies of the 1930s, but it stands on its own as a great fun read. The story is as entertaining as it is refreshingly free of cynicism. I loved Stephen Jared's first novel, and sincerely hope it's not his last." - Indiana Jones and Star Wars author, Ryder Windham
