Black Cobra

“John Avery’s is as pulse-pounding and high-octane as its predecessor!”

"John Avery has a hit on his hands with ‘ for sure!"

“Like the spokes of a wheel, every twist and turn met together perfectly in an ending that made me say ‘No Way’ and ‘I Love It’ at the same time!”

"A great story, with tight, quick-paced writing. Kudos to you, Mr. Avery."

"When you begin this book, be prepared to read it through - you will not want to put it down."

"Wow, what a read! Thank you for gluing me to a book for the first time in years!"

“John Avery has a hit on his hands with ‘Black Cobra’ for sure! Aaron Quinn is fifteen, mature beyond his years, an orphan living quietly on his own in a tropical paradise until fate introduces him to a couple that will end up putting his life on the line. In a plot that will take him in luxury from the blue waters of the Cayman Islands to an archaic Russian submarine in the waters around San Diego, Aaron unknowingly is put in the middle of a plot to assassinate the President of the United States and anyone else who gets in the way. People from his past are popping up all around him in a kaleidoscope of coincidences. If they survive, what role will they play in his future?

Aaron Quinn is like a teenaged MacGyver, creative and quick thinking! Or maybe this is how James Bond started out, cool, reasonably calm under pressure, able to get out of impossible situations, drawing the women like a magnet! Or maybe he's just himself, and John Avery should be congratulated for raising such a fine young man who is larger than life in his own quiet way, willing to share the limelight with other characters and allowing them to be developed and honed into realistic people able to evoke my feelings, good or bad. Like the spokes of a wheel, every twist and turn met together perfectly in an ending that made me say ‘No Way’ and ‘I Love It’ at the same time!”
