They were a fierce tribe of women warriors who had terrorized half a continent for centuries until colonizing French forces arrived the coast of their fertile homeland. The female warriors battled the vastly superior French armies to a standstill, pinning them to the coast for several months. In the end, they lost, but did not surrender. They regrouped and went marching out of their homeland, never to be heard of or seen again. They were The Last Amazon Warrior Women tribe on earth according to history. Three hundred years later.... It was an old myth that struck terror in the hearts of the natives who had lived in the region for generations, keeping them away from the great mountains, The Forbidden Mountains. It was the myth of The Demon daughters of Blood and Death. Some tales had it that they were evil demons, others portrayed them as terrible women warriors, descendants of ancient Amazon warrior women. No one really knew the truth except that they haunted the heavily forested lands and valleys that lay within the vast mountains and brought instant death to all who ventured there. Even the authorities of the two countries bordering the region wouldn't go into those mountains. Everyone stayed away as they had done for centuries. When the joint team of American and African Special Forces commandos arrived at the foothills of the remote Northern Cameroonian Mountains, after tracking an Islamic State killer squad across two continents, they heard the stories, the myths and legends. They knew the vast region was completely unknown territory, very rugged and inaccessible, made extremely dangerous by the presence of the deadliest terror group in the world. The commandos were backed by the CIA who wanted something the terrorists had stolen; something the Russians, Israelis, Iranians, and the Syrians wanted just as badly. Eight Special Forces commandos went in, the best of their kind. Nothing prepared them for the strange things they found in the great unknown that was The Forbidden Mountains. Danger was at every step, death at the end of every trail, and then... a terrible legend came alive before their eyes. It engulfed them. The Last Amazon Warrior Women (The complete series) is history, mystery, romance, action, and adventure rolled into one of the most fascinating terrorist thrillers you'll ever read. This is three Amazon warrior stories in one book, raw and pure. You can't get better.
