About this title

Synopsis

After his grandmother's funeral, Andy Bowers discovers her legacy to be a package of plans describing "The Adventure". It's a dangerous undertaking but the prize is phenomenal, and only Andy has the skill and experience to pull it off. He teams with his godfather who has the moxie to control their support crew, and the fun begins. Although skilled in the mechanics, Andy is amateurish in the politics of a gathering of crooks, and soon can't tell the good guys from the bad guys. The prize will be split four ways but everyone knows that one way or two ways is much better than four, and why keep a schmuck like Andy after he does his job. Ghosts, tricks and double-crosses galore abound in this fast moving thriller as Andy goes after the treasure with an agenda or two of his own.

About the Author

Ned Lord served in the Navy aboard the USS Strong, DD758, a destroyer not unlike the fictional USS John R Chaise. He is an accomplished scuba diver and sailor and has lived aboard a boat and sailed for more than twenty years. He has written articles for electronics, hobby, and golf magazines before turning his talents toward fiction. "All the Guys are Bad Guys," is his first full-length novel. He has written a novella titled, "The Man who was Cremated Twice," and is currently working on the sequel to "All the Guys are Bad Guys." Andy Bowers' next adventure, "The Green Plumb Affair," is scheduled for publication in mid-2006. Ned lives with his partner Kathy in Green Valley, Arizona, where they settled after completing a three-year cruise of the Sea of Cortez aboard the Beneteau Ketch "journey." He says he sees himself as the mythical sailor who picked up an oar and started walking east from San Diego. When someone asked, "What's that thing you're carrying?" he set it down and built a home. Go figure.
