About the book
Five masked men seize a Washington bank. They steal nothing anyone can see. Then, without a word, they turn their guns on themselves.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.T. Ryan and former detective Gregory Scott comes the explosive first Blake Brier techno-thriller.
Former CIA Spec Ops officer and computer genius Blake Brier has spent a decade trying to become ordinary. He writes code. Keeps his weapons locked away. And lives with the regret of pushing FBI agent Anja Kohler out of his life to protect her from the truth about who he was.
Now Anja is back—and she is hunting the meaning behind an impossible attack.
The dead gunmen have no fingerprints, no faces, and no identities. Their trail leads to a hacktivist movement transformed into a violent cult, while a stranger with frightening reach has emptied Blake’s bank accounts to force him into the hunt. Someone is hiding a much larger conspiracy behind the masks. And they know exactly who Blake still loves.
When the terrorists come for Anja, Blake’s last chance to repair the past becomes the one mission he cannot walk away from.
To expose the people pulling the strings, Blake must reunite the covert team he abandoned and return to a world of illegal surveillance, black operations, and lethal force. But the deeper he follows the digital trail, the harder it becomes to separate justice from vengeance—and the next attack could destroy far more than one bank.
They hid behind masks. Blake is coming to tear them off.
Unmasked launches the Blake Brier series with a high-velocity blend of techno-thriller, cybercrime, CIA action, financial conspiracy, elite-team camaraderie, and deeply personal revenge. Perfect for readers of David Baldacci’s Will Robie thrillers, Mark Greaney’s Gray Man series, and Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp novels.

About the book
FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOST IN TIME
Quantum Physicist Tyson Klein has spent twelve years on the trail of the Theory of Everything.
And he might just have found it.
Buried in the data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and most powerful scientific instrument, he's found traces of exotic subatomic particles.
Not only do the particles seem to have come from outside our universe, they also appear to be carrying a signal.
Deciphering this message sent across space and time could give Ty the key to everything – why the universe
exists, what humanity's role within it is.
But only if he lives long enough, because someone or something will do anything to prevent Ty from unravelling what is being broadcast by the quantum radio...

About the book
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
"On every level, Cold Storage is pure, unadulterated entertainment." —Douglas Preston, The New York Times Book Review
For fans of The Martian, Dark Matter, and Before the Fall comes an astonishing debut thriller by the screenwriter of Jurassic Park: a wild and terrifying bioterrorism adventure about three strangers who must work together to contain a highly contagious, deadly organism that could destroy all of humanity.
They thought it was contained. They were wrong.
When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository.
Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. Only Diaz knows how to stop it.
He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards—one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor. Will that be enough to save all of humanity?

From Michael Crichton, the #1 bestselling author of Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain, comes a devilishly clever, breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and genetic ownership shatters our assumptions.
Welcome to our genetic world.
Fast, furious, and out of control.
This is not the world of the future—it's the world right now.
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blonds becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only four hundred genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction—is it worse than the disease?
We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps, a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars and to test our spouses for genetic maladies. We live in a time when one-fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else—and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes....

About the book
"A fast-moving international thriller . . . exciting and all-too plausible" from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Sting of the Drone (Kirkus Reviews).
With the 2016 presidential election just weeks away, five simultaneous murders on three continents lead to an investigation revealing the recent black-market sale of five nuclear weapons. But who bought them? And what is their intended target?
Washington fears the bombs are timed to explode in major American cities before the election. They call on intelligence expert Ray Bowman to prevent the attack. With the help of a Mossad agent and a female South African intelligence officer, he follows a trail across the world to track down the missing nukes. Along the way, he discovers that the people who now control the bombs intend to do something much more devastating than expected, something that will make nuking a few cities look like a mild attack.
Drawing on his decades of experience at the highest levels of national security, Richard A. Clarke's Pinnacle Event—the Pentagon code for a nuclear threat—is a gripping international thriller told from the rare vantage point of a true Washington insider.
"Clarke delivers an edge-of-your-seat race across the planet that keeps you guessing until the very end." ―Kyle Mills, New York Times–bestselling author
"Clarke combine[s] real-life intelligence details with . . . narrative drive . . . will please political geeks and actions fans." ―Booklist

About the book
A desperate race to revive an alien buried on an icy moon. A fringe cult tuned into signals from the stars. And two extraordinary women willing to risk everything to forge humanity’s destiny.
The second and final entry in the electrifying series from multimillion-copy international bestselling authors Douglas E. Richards and Joshua T. Calvert.
Four years after the world-changing events of Frequency, the fragile hope born on Europa has fractured under cults, conspiracy theories, and misread alien wisdom. When a remote group in Patagonia begins displaying synchronized brainwave patterns that match nothing on Earth, Alexandra and Ethan Calloway race to investigate. What they find is astonishing: signals from a distant star system channeled through something hidden in the Patagonian wilderness—something that shouldn’t exist.
On Jupiter’s frozen moon, Milo Daven and Elena Vasquez lead a desperate mission to reach the alien whose message changed the world. In an environment that makes Antarctica seem like paradise, they’ll attempt the unthinkable: a rescue that could rewrite humanity’s place in the universe.
As parallel threads of discovery converge, Alexandra, Elena, and their teams confront questions that push the boundaries of science, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things. Are we ready for what comes next?
A mind-bending journey into hidden frequencies that bind minds across worlds, Frequency 2 delivers the jaw-dropping payoff to one of the most visionary first-contact series ever written.

The Feed
Dystopian · Techno-Thriller · Time Travel
Our take
The Feed imagines a world where constant connection collapses into fear, hunger, and suspicion. Tom and Kate survive the fall of the technology that once linked every thought and memory, but their fragile safety breaks when their young daughter disappears. This dystopian sci-fi thriller blends post-collapse survival, parental desperation, and a chilling question of identity and trust.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Nick Clark Windo's "The Feed examines our addiction to technology through the lens of a bleak dystopia . . . A deft and extremely clever work of sci-fi."*
The Feed is accessible everywhere, by everyone, at any time. It instantaneously links us to all information and global events as they break. Every interaction, every emotion, every image can be shared through it; it is the essential tool everyone relies on to know and understand the thoughts and feelings of anyone and everyone else in the world.
Tom and Kate use the Feed, but Tom has resisted its addiction, which makes him suspect to his family. After all, his father created it. But that opposition to constant connection serves Tom and Kate well when the Feed collapses after a horrific tragedy shatters the world as they know it.
The Feed's collapse, taking modern society with it, leaves people scavenging to survive. Finding food is truly a matter of life and death. Minor ailments, previously treatable, now kill. And while the collapse has demolished the trappings of the modern world, it has also eroded trust. In a world where survival of the fittest is a way of life, there is no one to depend upon except yourself . . . and maybe even that is no longer true.
Tom and Kate have managed to protect themselves and their family. But then their six-year-old daughter, Bea, goes missing. Who has taken her? How do you begin to look for someone in a world without technology? And what happens when you can no longer even be certain that the people you love are really who they claim to be?
