CIA sleuth Roger Wagner has retired and moved to Florida with his smart, pretty wife. But his leisure is disrupted when the body of a fellow secret agent washes ashore near his beachfront house. The incident launches him on a frantic, hazardous race against time to neutralize a doomsday bomb hidden by a group of terrorists, who are holding his wife—and the entire state of Florida—as hostages.

Hootenville, Pennsylvania, looks like any conventional company town, but beneath its placid surface throbs a network of violence, blackmail, and murder. It takes a sharp ex–Army spy to coolly fit the puzzle together, exposing the game of terror, intrigue, and cunning known as industrial espionage.

Paul Dexter was once an Army counterintelligence spy in Munich, but he gave it up to offer his wife and family a more stable home life. Now he''s punching in at a middle-American plastics corporation, bored at work and frustrated at home. So when his boss enlists him to help track down a corporate spy selling manufacturing secrets, Dexter can''t resist dusting off his skills, his wit, and his dry detective humor for a little game of chase—even though it disrupts the dearly bought security of his family.

On the eve of a crucial American election, the president of the United States is scheduled to give a speech at the Olympiahalle in Munich, a place where the limitless places of concealment are an assassin’s dream. Roger Wagner, CIA supersleuth with a gift for wry jokes, is given ten days to uncover an assassination plot against the president. Wagner’s frantic search leads him through the German underworld, neo-Nazi dens, glossy jet-set salons, and the highest levels of government. Entangled in a web of murder and double-cross, he soon realizes that it isn’t only the president’s life that’s on the line.

The most coveted combat decoration in all Germany, the Blue Max was a symbol of power, fame, and prestige beyond the reach of ordinary mortals.

Bruno Stachel is a nobody, a newly recruited junior officer in a First World War combat squadron. But he is determined not to remain a nobody for long. He has his sights on the Blue Max, the most coveted of all German decorations, and he will do anything to get it. From the very moment he shoots down his first plane, everything he does is aimed at that goal.

This world-famous novel of deadly combat in the skies tells the story of the men who killed for the Blue Max—and died for it.

Stachel—murderer and alcoholic. His meteoric rise to glory alienated him from his fellow pilots, and ultimately from human decency. Kettering—collector of pornography. He became the victim of Stachel’s ruthless ambition. Von Klugermann—the haughty aristocrat. He delved too deeply into Stachel’s torment, only to discover a cobra. Kaeti—the woman who knew them all. Arrogant noblewoman, black-mailing nymphomaniac—and Stachel’s beautiful mistress.

Jack D. Hunter’s novel is a classic of war literature and a brilliant study of a pilot tortured by his naked ambition.

Someone is murdering the pilots of America’s 107th Aero Squadron. Someone is diverting military funds to a secret place. Someone who looks, talks, and acts just like everyone else is selling his country to the enemy.

That someone must be stopped. But there are those in power who are prepared to block the investigation in order to hide the ugly truth—whatever the human cost. Because what is really happening is far more terrible than anyone has yet dared to imagine.

It’s 1945, and Stalin’s army stands poised to conquer Europe. The only way to stop him is for Truman to bluff him down. To make the bluff work, C.G. Brandt, America’s ultra-professional but very human spymaster, is forced to risk everything on Alex Lukas, an undertrained but bilingual secret agent. Lukas must escort a Soviet defector who will parachute into Bavaria with crucial information.

But the defector’s plane crashes; there is a gorgeous Communist spy in the drop area; and Lukas can’t believe the amount of well-armed interest in his movements. Against all odds, Lukas manages to get out with his skin intact. Then he’s given new orders: to proceed to Los Alamos, New Mexico, pick up a crate and deliver it to the Moscow embassy. In the crate is the key to the great bluff—the biggest card in Harry Truman’s hand as he faces off with Joseph Stalin.

Four Americans—a twenty-year-old social outcast, a breezily iconoclastic Army officer, a ruthless US senator, and a guilt-ridden heiress—are inexorably drawn together in their struggles to deal with America''s chaotic involvement in World War I. Their interwoven destinies lead from poverty-stricken slums through the opulence of 1917–1918 Washington, London, and Paris and, climactically, into the Western Front''s vicious aerial combat, which establishes the matrix for all air warfare to come.

It’s the near future, and frustration and rage sweep through the alienated American middle class. All signs point to what’s being called “The Second American Revolution,” as “Middies,” incensed by what they see to be a hopelessly corrupt, elitist, and self-perpetuating government, form a secret militia and prepare to oust the “Leets”—as did their forbears at Lexington and Concord more than two centuries ago.

Amidst this upheaval, Matt Cooper, investigative reporter for a Florida daily, single-mindedly probes the murder of his father, a successful novelist with mysterious ties to World War II Nazi Germany. His obsessive search takes him halfway around the globe, turning deadly when it leads him to the core of an international conspiracy that uses the incipient citizens’ rebellion as a screen for its own efforts to usurp the faltering US government.

From the author of The Potsdam Bluff and Tailspin comes a new techno-thriller set in the near future and featuring man-of-action Tom Sweeney.

When the secret agent is laid off from his high-level intelligence job due to peace-time Department of Defense budget cuts, he takes the dismissal in stride, planning to enjoy a few months off as a swinging bachelor. But when an old CIA running mate is found murdered in the bathroom of Sweeney’s house, leaving behind a cryptic message, Sweeney finds that he is a moving target for mysterious killers.

Gradually, he discovers himself to be at the center of a complex international plot involving the cocaine industry, a swarm of vicious German neo-Nazis, and high-ranking US officials, including perhaps even Sweeney’s old boss, the President himself. Can one hero take on all of these enemies? Watch him try.
