Leonardo and the Death Machine

Adventure thriller set in Renaissance Italy starring Leonardo da Vinci as a young apprentice who witnesses a murder and becomes involved in a plot to take over the city.LEONARDO AND THE DEATH MACHINE is first and foremost a thriller, set against the background of Renaissance Italy.

When Kara and Justin collide on a top secret mission deep in the Israeli desert, then the battle truly begins. **Review "Along with providing fascinating technical details and superb sex scenes, Buchman is a master of delivering romance that is as charming as plausible within a military setting. This will please his growing audience as well as fans of Suzanne Brockman, Maya Banks, Catherine Mann, and Kaylea Cross." - Booklist "The Night Stalkers series continues in true Buchman style with high-octane action, perfect attention to technical details and sizzling-hot love scenes. Going one step beyond, Buchman pleases his readers with fan-favorite cameo appearances. Take note: A character cheat sheet might be needed. But if you are a fan of military romance and haven't tried a Night Stalkers book, what are you waiting for?" - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars "The Night Stalker series is one of my favorites and I hope he continues with it. Not only that but even though it's a new book he always finds a way for past characters to be a part of it even if they're only mentioned once. "By Break of Day" was a great read and I truly recommend it." - Night Owl Reviews About the Author M. L. Buchman has over 35 novels and an ever-expanding flock of short stories in print.
