Both the Allies and the Berlin-Boer Axis are bitterly deadlocked. But a familiar enemy from the past may hold the key to victory - or could be the instrument of global Armageddon. In a war that needs every capable body, every scrap of material, Americas greatest military hero worries that his days on the front lines are over. Captain Jeffrey Fullers last mission forced him to sacrifice the lives of good men in order to secure a victory, a tactical decision that he fears may have ended his career. But an opportunity for redemption comes in the form of a new mission that will pit Fuller against his former adversaries from the Cold War. Washington has concluded that Russia is the key to victory. The former superpower, officially a neutral country, is clandestinely supplying the Axis powers with advanced weapons technology. Russia must be punished, but it needs to be orchestrated in such a way that will, at the same time, avoid creating a new enemy. To accomplish such a bold maneuver, Jeffrey Fuller must sneak a team of commandos into Russia to launch a nuclear missile - against his own country. If successful, the Allies will be able to destroy the missile and use the event to pressure the Russians into an alliance. Its an all-or-nothing gambit, with no room for error. If the Russians discover the commandos, they will side with Berlin against the United States, a political disaster that will ensure victory for the Axis. If something goes wrong with the missile, Fuller could kill millions of people, and perhaps even initiate a full-blown nuclear holocaust. Such worst-case scenarios assume that Fuller can first navigate his ship, the fast attack nuclear submarine USS Challenger, through the minestrewn and submarine-patrolled waters between Alaska and Siberia, a nearly impossible feat unto itself. It is a mission that will, one way or another, finally put an end to the war.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=560144 Its 1943 and the Americans and Japanese are fighting a deadly war in the hot, jungle-covered volcanic islands of the South Pacific.

All thats known for certain is he was last seen heading north into Japanese-held islands, taking with him the beautiful, young native wife of a colonist who heads up the local militia and is swearing revenge. Something must be done before Allied unity falls apart. Coast Guard Captain Josh Thurlow and his ragtag crew are given the assignment to find Armistead, though not necessarily to bring him back alive. Recruited in the hunt is a tormented and frail PT-boat skipper nicknamed Shafty, whos also known by another name: John F. Kennedy. When Josh is stranded in the jungles of New Georgia with a mysterious, sensual woman who has a tendency to chop off mens heads, its up to Kennedy to come to the rescue and complete the mission. To procure a gunboat, however, he first has to play high-stakes poker with a young naval supply officer called Nick, who happens to be the best gambler in the South Pacific. Nick has another name, too: Richard M. Nixon. The adventures of these hot-blooded characters wind tighter and tighter until a fiery, climactic day when Joe Gimmee, a local holy man with some peculiar ideas on how to acquire treasure from the gods, has promised a miracle. The one he produces is remarkable, and will change the lives of everyone who watches it unfold.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=587282 Former SEAL Mike Harmon, team name Ghost, was, apparently, an unassuming college student. Discharged with partial disabilities, he was having enough troubles passing classes and fitting in on a very liberal college campus; he didnt need any more. But when he observed the kidnapping of a coed, it was time for others to be troubled. Because underneath his usually placid exterior, Mike Harmon, Ghost, was a bundle of barely controlled fury. Highly motivated, highly trained fury. And when terrorists gave him the opportunity, he became ... himself. A series of at the time rational decisions led him, via a series of tortured terrorist bodies, to a facility in Syria, a logistics warehouse called Aleppo Four. And in the dank basements of that warehouse the true, horrible nature of the kidnappers plans were revealed: if the Great Satan would not withdraw over the deaths of aid workers and soldiers, then let them see what could happen to their lovely daughters. The only fly in the ointment being one banged up former SEAL. Now Ghost is as free to do his will as the wolf running beneath the moon. Freed of military regulations, freed of military justice. And morals and ethics were never his strong suit. Sometimes it takes a very bad man to do a good job.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=762320 Since his childhood, Benjamin Franklin Gates has known that he is a descendant of a long line of people whose job it has been to guard a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers.
