USA Today bestselling author, J.R. Rain, brings you three short stories of epic adventure, including:
WAR DADDY
by J.R. Rain
Agent Alan Putnam has one last job to do before he retires from the INS.
His mission: He must deport a dog and personally escort him back to his own country. And the country is West Sahara. "War Daddy" is a big white dog - 125 pounds of pure muscle, teeth, and slobber and the strongest dog he's ever seen. War Daddy also has the strongest will to live that he's ever seen. The big dog survived the horrors of being used as a drug mule - once gutted for the drugs inside him and left for dead, he's overcome all odds. Except one. He doesn't belong in the United States. Now, it's time for War Daddy to go home.
Pursued across the vast desert, Alan and War Daddy brave the elements and the humanity that underestimates the great treasure of this dog with a big heart - but a dog who isn't afraid to defend himself if he has to.
But even if he can find the remote place where War Daddy really belongs, will Alan take his deportation mission - and his military training - one step further?
J.R. Rain, bestselling author of the epic dog lovers' thriller, WINTER WIND, brings "War Daddy" to life in an unforgettable short story with a dog at the heart of the journey, and a man by his side who is no less courageous than his canine companion.

THE LAST RHINO
by P.J. Day
"The Last Rhino," a thrilling and unforgettable short story by bestselling author P.J. Day, takes readers on a safari deep into the heart of the African bush - where one man must confront his past in order to save his future. And to save a species...
Juma is the last white rhino on Earth. And Tarik is the man chosen to protect him.
Tarik Daw was once a child soldier, but it's been years since he was briefly captured by rebels in the highlands. His new job is to protect Juma from poachers.
Tarik is grateful to have a government job on a Kenyan game preserve - it will support his family for as long as Juma lives. And with his training and experience, he won't hesitate to kill would-be poachers to protect the white rhino from extinction... and to ensure his own livelihood.
However, as Juma's newest guardsman tracks the rhino's wanderings across the African savannah, his darkest secret threatens everyone and everything he holds dear.
The fate of the last white rhino on Earth is in Tarik's hands - and danger lurks for them both.
