Second Skin
by Eric Van Lustbader
Nicholas Linnear, visionary hero of The Ninja, The Kaisho, and Floating City, returns in...Second Skin Eric Lustbader's powerful novels have established him as "an author of authentic and engrossing Oriental intrigue second to none" (Ib Melchior, Los Angeles Times Book Review). Now the international bestselling master storyteller brings us a globe-spanning new novel of epic adventure. Nicholas Linnear is back -- to confront his most formidable and hated enemy. Nicholas Linnear won a major battle with the apocalyptic destruction of Floating City. But his enemy has taken flight from the city's ruins in Vietnam to regroup and mount the assault that will solidify his ultimate power -- and destroy Linnear. Mick Leonforte, an international corporate power broker as well as a criminal czar, is preparing to take on Linnear, his sworn nemesis, on the battleground where business and warfare become one. With the help of seasoned New York City police detective Lew Croaker and the dazzling, cunning Vesper Arkham, Linnear pursues his prey -- placing Koei, the woman he loves above all else, in the vengeful path of a criminal genius. And it will plunge Nicholas into the depths of Kshira -- the terrible force that even the master who trained him in the mysteries of psychic warfare was powerless to escape.
Son of the Morning
by Linda Howard
After finding a cache of old Templar documents fabled to hold the key to unlimited power, Grace St. John, a scholar specializing in ancient manuscripts, becomes the target of a ruthless killer. To save herself, Grace steps back to 14th-century Scotland to confront Black Niall--a warrior bound to uphold the Templar's secret for all eternity--and enlists this brazen knight to join her in a modern-day search for a killer. In their quest to protect a timeless secret, they uncover a love for all time--and a deadly duel of honor that risks everything they have.
Rogue Warrior Green Team
by Richard Marcinko
Before the Terminator and Rambo, there was Dick Marcinko--the real thing! Now the controversial author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Rogue Warrior series brings real-life adventure to a new level. In Green Team Marcinko puts his top-secret unit of the U.S. Navy to the ultimate test against a terror network with roots in a violent religious movement.
Rogue Warrior Task Force Blue
by Richard Marcinko
Moving slowly, steadily across the tarmac through the driving Florida rain, the Rogue Warrior and his team of SEALs have been called into action. Mission: storm a hijacked 727 sitting on a Key West airstrip and rescue the Secretary of the Navy. In a flash of high-tech explosives and automatic gunfire, a hostage is killed - and Marcinko will be the one to pay. Facing a court martial and permanent removal from the Navy, the Rogue Warrior has one more call to answer, from an ultrasecret operative inside the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). America's worst nightmare has become a reality. The hijackers' roots run deep in U.S. soil: Americans willing to kill Americans to create a government in their own fanatical image. The Pentagon's security has been breached: the arsenal of democracy raided. The DIA needs someone to eradicate the terrorist infrastructure, circumventing the Navy and the FBI. They need Marcinko and his elite SEAL contingent, Task Force Blue. Inspired and funded by a politically motivated independent billionaire, the enemy has become a force of right-wing militias and extremists, radical drug gangs, and fundamentalist terrorists - but they have yet to face an adversary like the Rogue Warrior. Accused of murder and pursued by the FBI, operating underground to maneuver through a political, military, and bureaucratic minefield, the Rogue Warrior is right where he wants to be. And, faithful to his ultimate Commandment of SpecWar, there are no rules - Marcinko will win at all costs.
Rogue Warrior II
by Richard Marcinko
In the smash bestselling autobiography Rogue Warrior, Richard Marcinko chronicled his controversial thirty-year career in the U.S. Navy's elite maritime commandos, the SEAL teams. Marcinko rose through the ranks to create and command the Navy's legendary counterterrorist unit, SEAL TEAM SIX, scoring vitories against enemies all over the globe. Pleased with his success, the chief of Naval Operations ordered him to create RED CELL -- a dirty-dozen team of SEALs whose mission was to infiltrate the Navy's most secure installations. Marcinko did his job too well. No Navy base was safe -- no commander's billet secure. His reward was a year in a federal penitentiary. During that year, Marcinko and John Weisman wrote Rogue Warrior. But, bound by government restrictions on classified information, Marcinko was only able to tell a fraction of his incredible story. The tales he could not tell, the secrets he could not reveal, now explode on the page as the Rogue Warrior returns in the blockbuster suspense novel of the year -- a novel with him as the hero! He is the enemy's worst nightmare, living by the untimate commandment of unconventional warfare -- win, by any means. He is brash, brazen, and possessed equally of a killer charm and the capacity to become a stone-cold killer. As ROGUE WARRIOR II: RED CELL begins, Dick Marcinko is a freelance security consultant, playing terrorist at Tokyo's Narita Airport. Easily penetratingthe facility's defenses, he engages in a deadly firefight with North Korean operatives -- and makes a discovery that plunges him into a secret war for America's national security. Financed by traitorous Americans, smugglers are transferring nuclear materials to North Korea through Japan. Former Secretary of Defense Grant Griffith, a behind the scenes power in the Pentagon, believes that only the Rogue Warrior can stop the operation; he convinces the Navy to recall Marcinko involuntarily to command RED CELL. Marcinko is a legent to the SEALs of RED CELL, and they're willing to follow him into hell -- to go anywhere and do anything to crush those who would betray America for a price. From infiltrating Washington's Navy Yard offices and the Navy's top-secret nuclear weapons depot in Seal Beach, California, to raiding a North Korean Navy base in the most heavily guarded harbor in Asia, to a final assault on a target far out in the Pacific, the Rogue Warrior and his marauding SEALs fight incredible odds and increasingly dangerous enemies. And, as time runs out, ROGUE WARRIOR II: RED CELL races to its electrifying climax.

Block, Thomas H
Toronto, ON, Canada: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, 1982. ISBN 0-698-11153-2 >$13·95 THOMAS H. BLOCK You're always terrified when you fly. You're only imagining that the engines are roaring too loudly, the plane is flying too fast, too high ... Except this time you're right. The most spectacular occurrence in aviation history has just happened. The two rocket engines of the hypersonic Star Streak superliner have been deliberately jammed wide open, and Flight 14 with over one hundred terrified passengers has gone into orbit around the earth! Orbit is the gripping, minute-by minute story of the men, women, and children of Flight 14, their oxygen supply almost gone, floating weightless in the cabin of their crippled plane ... of the desperate search for the saboteur who controls their fate ... of the NASA ground crew's race against time to launch a rescue space shuttle ... of the courageous pilot trying to reassure his passengers while masking his own terror. For only he knows the truth: The Star Streak will burn like a Fourth of July rocket when it re-enters the atmosphere. Supercharged with suspense you could never imagine, building to a climax you will never forget, Orbit is a reading experience unlike any other. With his bestselling Mayday, Thomas H. Block established himself as today's foremost master of the adventure novel. This newest triumph goes even beyond that success, taking the reader into a realistic nightmare of terror and human drama. The author is a captain for a major U.S. airline and has been a contributing editor of Flying magazine for the past twelve years. He lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, Eileen, and children, Kimberly, Steven and Ryan. Jacket concept by LYNN HOLLYN Jacket illustration by ALAN HASHIMOTO Author photograph by EILEEN F. BLOCK .
