"Hunter Blacke" International Thrillers Bob Tuss has written.

Friends and associates are surprised that Hunter Blacke is Bob Tuss. Using a Nom de plume the books were written to bring adventures to life and share the thrill of action packed assignments in many lands so few travel. A strong mixture of Fiction and Non-Fiction. In the real life most events are really pretty pedestrian. It was necessary to jazz up the dead zones of reality with ficticious adventure. Have fun.

Three of six Thrillers I have written for general entertainment. Don't forget to look at TROIKA, 
a  Siberian Adventure, Kazakhstan Jane - Radio Active Jane, Seige over Sochi.
