Goldhammer (A James Flynn Escapade)

"A James Bond parody that delivers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, pulse-pounding action scenes and biting social commentary." – BestThrillers.com A young actress, involuntarily committed to City of Roses Psychiatric Hospital, plunges James Flynn into a dangerous new adventure when she claims one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood is trying to kill her. Still convinced he's a secret agent for Her Majesty's Secret Service, Flynn springs into action, helps her escape and finds himself embroiled in a battle with a dangerous sociopath worth billions. In the process, he uncovers a high-tech conspiracy to control the mind of every human being on Earth. With the help of his reluctant sidekick, Sancho, and a forgotten Hollywood sex symbol from the 1960s, Flynn faces off with Goldhammer and his private army in a desperate attempt to save the young actress...and save the world...once again. "It is such a relaxing, easy to read, and feel good book! Because it is a comical read, you will find yourself laughing out loud and shaking your head." -Partners in Crime Tours " Goldhammer is a fresh and thrilling adventure perfect for fans of James Bond." -BookLife "For those readers in search of a farcical book that is intelligently rendered, this is a delightful novel, hilarious and inventive. A wonderfully humorous blend of James Bond and Don Quixote." - Kirkus Reviews " Goldhammer is highly recommended reading for audiences who enjoy the comedy of The Kingsman, the pathos of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest , and Jason Bourne-style action, all mixed together in a rollicking cocktail. Shaken. Not stirred." -Midwest Book Review "Pacy and unrepentant fun." -James Swallow, New York Times best-selling author of Nomad "Orkin has the remarkable ability to keep the reader straddled between a genuine spy thriller and an off-the-wall comedy." -Joe Barrett, award-winning author of Managed Care " Goldhammer has all the heart-stopping action and biting wit of the first two novels, but at its core, this one is all heart. Bonkers in the best possible way." -Wendall Thomas, the Anthony, Lefty, and Macavity-nominated author of the Cyd Redondo Mysteries "A James Bond parody that delivers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, pulse-pounding action scenes and biting social commentary." -BestThrillers.com Haris Orkin is a playwright, screenwriter, game writer, and novelist, which is a fancy way of saying he has career commitment issues. Fortunately, other people don't seem to mind. He's a WGA and BAFTA Award-nominated narrative designer whose credits include more than a dozen video games, including Resident Evil Requiem and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.He invented James Flynn because therapy is expensive. Flynn is everything Haris is not-utterly fearless, absurdly good-looking, effortlessly charming, and just a tad unhinged. (Except for maybe the unhinged part. That might be autobiographical.)He lives in Ashland, Oregon, with his wife, where he enjoys movies, music, books, and the great outdoors, specifically sitting on his deck with a bourbon and admiring Grizzly Peak from a safe distance.
