About the book
A pilot's struggle for survival against both nature and man from the international bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed and The Midnight Bell.
Jack Drummond has always flown by his own radar. After getting drummed out of the British Navy, he's made a rough-and-tumble living flying wherever the money takes him. But after one last weapons drop to Tibetan guerillas fighting the Communist Chinese, he's ready to hang up his wings.
Unfortunately, a short stop in the tiny Himalayan country of Balpur ends with his plane in flames and Drummond out of luck—until he's approached with a very strange offer. He must help deliver a sick child over land to the Indian border. It's not his typical job, but it's all he's got. Accompanied by a nurse and an elderly priest, he sets out to make one last delivery.
What Drummond doesn't know is that the boy is no simple mercy case. He's precious cargo. And there are men on his trail who want him badly enough to kill. Now, as war rages around them with their enemies relentlessly on the hunt, only Drummond and his motley band can save an innocent child's life.
This thrilling novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Sean Dillon series showcases his natural talent for breakneck pacing, electrifying plot twists, and a story that will keep you guessing until the last bullet is fired.

“Electrifying . . . this series [is] utterly addictive.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Reacher is the ultimate loner—no phone, no ties, no address. But Frances Neagley, a woman from his old military unit, has found him using a signal only the eight members of their elite team would know. Then she tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his team, scrambling to unravel the sudden disappearance of two other comrades. But Reacher won’t give up—because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they’d better be ready for what comes right back at them.

About the book
In this international thrill ride from the author of The Elias Network, an investigative journalist’s abduction unravels an intricate conspiracy of corruption—both deadly and deeply personal.
After a brutal mission in France, former assassin Caspian Anderson recovers in the arms of German agent Liesel Bergmann on the shores of Mallorca. But their peace is short-lived.

About the book
An aircraft carrier adrift with a crew the size of a small town. A killer in their midst. And the disgraced Navy SEAL who must track him down . . . The high-octane debut thriller from New York Times bestselling writing team Webb & Mann—combat-decorated Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and award-winning author John David Mann.
A BARRY AWARD NOMINEE • “Sensationally good—an instant classic, maybe an instant legend.”—Lee Child
The moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincolnto hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf, it’s clear something is deeply wrong. Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: There’s a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship. After all, he’s being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field under the dark cloud of a mission gone horribly wrong. He’s also a lone wolf, haunted by gaps in his memory and the elusive sense that something he missed may have contributed to civilian deaths on his last assignment. Finding the killer offers a chance at redemption . . . if he can stay alive long enough to prove it isn’t him.

About the book
Captain Alex Coleman is not prepared to wait for rescue. He plans to make his own luck.
After eight months at Russia’s most brutal prisoner of war camp, Captain Alex Coleman figures he’s seen it all. He’s lost friends. He’s been tortured. Worst of all, he’s learned that he can’t trust his second-in-command any more than a hungry tiger on Taco Tuesday.
With the prisoners’ first escape attempt ending in betrayal, Alex knows he must think outside the box. The problem is that he’s a submariner, not some Recon Marine with hand-to-hand combat experience. Alex prefers his hair-raising danger in the form of torpedoes and missiles. Facing off with Russians determined to wrench secrets out of his people is a unique kind of torture, yet Alex is far too much of a leader to sit with his head in his hands. He knows he must take action, but what?
World War III has raged across oceans, continents, and beneath the sea’s surface for two years. The major powers all know the rules by now, but what no one has encountered is a desperate Alex Coleman. Desperation breeds creativity, and this former maker of coffee creamer fireballs is also unorthodox enough to try the impossible: take over an entire POW Camp.
The Russians will never know what hit them, but can Alex and his people survive their bid for freedom?
Laws of War is a visceral, up-close look into the experience of a modern prisoner of war, serving up equal servings of war, leadership, and loyalty in the tradition of the War of the Submarine. It also completes the mid-series duology started in Code of Conduct.

About the book
A Nazi assassin haunts Russia in this World War II–era thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Bourne Identity.
In the fall of 1940, the Nazis are at the height of their power—France is occupied, Britain is enduring the Blitz and is under the threat of invasion, America is neutral, and Russia is in an uneasy alliance with Germany. Stephen Metcalfe, the younger son of a prominent American family, is a well-known man about town in occupied Paris. He's also a minor asset in the U.S.'s secret intelligence forces in Europe. Through a wild twist of fate, it falls to Metcalfe to instigate a bold plan that may be the only hope for what remains of the free world. Now he must travel to wartime Moscow to find, and possibly betray, a former love—a fiery ballerina whose own loyalties are in question—in a delicate dance that could destroy all he loves and honors.

About the book
Consistently hitting the top of the charts in Post-Apocalyptic Fiction and Military Thriller, The Mad Mick Series has garnered thousands of reviews from readers who can't get enough of this character. He's the guy you want on your side in a fight. He's the friend who can make you laugh until you cry. He's the last man on earth you want to cross.
This omnibus edition contains the first three books in the series:
- The Mad Mick
- Masters of Mayhem
- Brutal Business
“Rock-solid characters, buzz-saw action and backstories deserving of books of their own. Amazing...”
For a hardened assassin and his snarky daughter, navigating the apocalypse is little more than business as usual. They have food, weapons, top-notch gear, and connections in the darkest holes of the special operations community. Just don't cross them because hell hath no fury like the Maguires.
Conor Maguire nearly lost his daughter when she was three years old, injured by the drunk driver who killed his wife. When the justice system failed him, Conor retaliated against the driver in dramatic and gruesome fashion.
An ironclad alibi prevented the police from pinning the murder on Conor. His actions didn't go unnoticed though. A covert agency within the US government recruited the talented young bomber and machinist. For over twenty-five years, Conor designed and built custom weapons of death and destruction at his secluded compound in the mountains of Virginia.
When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. Then Barb was kidnapped.
The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal.
But they would soon find out.
