Bombed

Heist makes waste. It was the easiest gig imaginable – break into a forgotten Cold War era laboratory and steal a discredited experimental device. Quick. Safe. No one gets hurt. But no one told Dac Wheeler that the device in question was a super bomb, and that after all these years it was still armed. Now, stranded in the middle of the bay with a hurricane breathing down his neck and a pair of deranged killers on his tail, it's up to him to defuse the situation before the entire state of Florida is Bombed.
The Pulp Your Cherry line is a series of stand-alone novels celebrating the many facets of pulp fiction, from the 1890s to the present. In the 1990s, paperback action-thrillers were informed as much by then current cinema as by their paperback antecedents. Films like Lethal Weapon, Stone Cold, and Die Hard (itself based on a pulp thriller) usually featured mismatched partners as the protagonists, squaring off against international terrorists, criminal cartels, and other highly-organized ne'er-do-wells. Explosive set pieces and endless verbal sparring rounded out the package. This novel, the second in the Pulp Your Cherry series, captures that spirit.
