PDF Ebook Maroon Rising, by John H. Cunningham
Buck Reilly's in Jamaica and back in the treasure hunting business--until some old enemies ace him out. Fortunately for Buck, a beautiful University professor with ancient Maroon secrets about the missing riches of captain Henry Morgan lures him back to the chase. Thrust into turbulent waters where trust is as elusive as the treasure itself, Buck's knocked further off course with the appearance of the once love-of-his-life. The heat of Maroon Rising jumps off the page as Buck ricochets from the pirate enclave of Port Royal--once the Wickedest City on Earth--to the Blue Mountains, GoldenEye Resort, white sand beaches and the lush Cockpit Country of Jamaica. The conclusion will leave you breathless and change Buck's life forever.

With Maroon Rising, we've got us a Kick-butt Humdinger, Men's Action-Adventure with a Treasure Hunter in Jamaica By Bill Anderson Length: Print, 261 pages; Audible, not available. Nor are any of John H. Cunningham's books, but I hope the are soon.This book is targeted especially to guys who love Action-Adventure, especially those with a historical slant and for anyone who enjoys, or dreams, of visiting exotic Caribbean destinations.What was the Amazon Rank on the date this review was published? 1,926. Mark my words, though, this is going to climb to the Top 100.Is this a book that I can read without having to read others first?.Yes, but to fully appreciate this, the fifth book in a series, it might be wise to read at least the first book.Are there a lot of typos/misspellings, grammatical errors or other editing failures? No, this is professionally edited. Assuming one gives the writer a customary literary license, I came across no obvious typos or grammatical errors.Is this a fast, easy read or is it more of a leisure read? At only 261 pages this could be read in one, long sitting. More likely, though, this is a leisurely read, similar to a stroll in the park with a good friend or a loved one.What sort of language does this writer use to amplify the points made? Adult language, with occasional f-bombs.My biggest pleasure or disappointment was? This Action-Adventure hits most all essential buttons essential to a good read. Description is pretty good, but not as evocative as it could be to get me fully immersed into the main character. That’s okay, though, because sometimes I don’t care for stories that require a good deal of investment that a more detailed description entails. Okay, that sounds a less helpful than I intend. I should elaborate a bit:My all-time favorite Western writer, Louis Lamour, made a career out of writing action adventures without getting too deep into description for his readers, but sufficiently so that one or the other of the Sackett’s was a favorite of somebody I knew, besides myself. Well, the author of Maroon Rising is doing much the same with Buck, except the setting of the stories is present day and more international than were most of the Sackett yarns.Further, just as did Lamour research the sites of his novels. Unlike the prolific Western writer, this author, John H. Cunningham populates his novels with real-life celebrities and has even helped write a song, Rum Punch, also known as the Ballad of Buck Reilly. Oh, and Cunningham does work to improve the world that he describes – read the acknowledgments at the end of Maroon Rising for details.The excerpt below may help clarify this discussion.EXCERPTI turned to face the rock wall, turned back to look at them. Stephen nodded. I glanced at the wall again, then bent over and started searching the forest floor until I found a flat, sharp rock.I began to scrape moss off the face of the wall. Irritated that they just watched me, I continued scraping until the edge of the rock caught in a groove.Nanny stepped closer.Now, more gently, I peeled away the loose green material until I had uncovered an image. An ancient petroglyph of what looked like a telephone pole with three crossbars on top. What the heck?I had researched many a Taino site, but since they hadn’t been much for hoarding precious metals or stones, they’d been of minimal interest. They had inhabited much of the Caribbean at one time but had pretty much died out—slaughtered by more aggressive tribes or done in by the diseases Europeans brought to the islands.“This mean anything to you?”Nanny leaned closer and after a quick look shook her head.“And that flash we saw? The woods would cover this petroglyph, and any others on here. Something higher up must have caused the flash.” Stephen pointed up the sheer rock wall. I tilted my head back—there! I could see a narrow natural shelf bathed in morning light but also coated in fauna of the moist woodland. Leaves, vines, and lichen hung off the shelf.“So?”“There’s a natural chunk of quartz above that shelf that has attracted people for eons,” Nanny said. “More petroglyphs, too. But we never connected the quartz to the flash from Blue Mountain.”“Eons?” If the area was that well trampled, the odds of us finding anything here seemed slim. And if they already knew about the quartz and the petroglyphs, why had Nanny and Stephen waited until we were here to mention them, even if they didn’t get the connection? Maybe it was all the silent, significant glances they kept giving each other, but I was getting more than a little agitated.I glanced straight up—there was no direct climbing route to the ledge—then walked forward around the corner of the wall. There were crevices and enough exposed jagged edges for a climb, so I started up.“Be careful, Buck,” Nanny said. “No way to get you out of here if you fall and break something.”Her voice already had a distant sound as curiosity drove me up the wall like a spider monkey. I zigged and zagged my way toward the southeastern-facing shelf. The final several feet required me to grab hold of the rock outcropping and pull myself up. The rocks dug into my fingers—my arms shook, my face scraped against the damp wall—“Buck?”With my arms still shaking, I finally hauled myself onto the shelf and pushed my back against the wall, taking a moment to catch my breath. My feet dangled some twenty-five feet above Nanny and Stephen. She looked frightened, and even Stephen was staring up at me with his mouth open.Cunningham, John H. (2015-11-24). Maroon Rising (Buck Reilly Adventure Series Book 5) (Kindle Locations 1192-1215). Greene Street, LLC. Kindle Edition.Bottom Line:I enjoyed this tale. Even, occasionally, felt I was Buck, and was victim/hero who could persevere much as he does. Well, I did say occasionally. The guy is obviously a better man than I…Comments?

By ImaHulaGrl Maroon Rising is another great adventure mystery book from Mr. Cunningham. He brings his expertise knowledge from his travels to your fingertips. This time Buck is in the luscious foliage of Jamaica with a smart and beautiful girl, a few good buddies and some long lost but not forgotten enemies. John writes with such excitement that I could feel every punch, scrape, and gun shot. I even found myself gasping for air with Buck in the depths of deep dark spaces. Just when you think that Buck has everything taken care of then wham, here it comes again! I love the way John uses real people with his fictional characters that all comes together to create an exciting story. John writes very brief factual tidbits so the reader can learn about the history of the people that has inhabited the locations. The story doesn’t stop, just ties it all together. I am hoping that the Buck series will be on the big screen someday as we all need a positive message and that is what Buck delivers and always comes through for the good. I highly recommend all five books in the Buck Reilly series and download the fun song "Rum Punch" written by John Cunningham and Thom Shepherd. Thank you John!
