Slocum goes up against a gang of gold-crazed killers! It was too dark to see, but the sounds of gunfire and agony were unmistakable. When day came, and Mirabelle Comstock saw what the three men had done to her husband for the sake of information about some hidden gold—information they didn’t get—she lost all meekness. She wanted revenge. Slocum has never crossed the line to become a gun for hire. But Mirabelle has a cause behind her anger that he can’t deny. Now, if those men know what’s good for them, they’ll give up the race for gold—and start racing for their lives.

Unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs) include autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, semi-submersibles and unmanned surface craft. Considerable importance is being placed on the design and development of such vehicles, as they provide cost-effective solutions to a number of littoral, coastal and offshore problems. This book highlights the advanced technology that is evolving to meet the challenges being posed in this exciting and growing area of research.
