#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Brad Thor, hailed as the "Master of Thrillers" (BookReporter.com) and the "Ultimate Thriller Writer" (Suspense Magazine), returns with a masterpiece of action, intrigue, and betrayal.

A rumor, a remote cabin in Norway, and an American intelligence operative charged with stopping the next world war before it begins - Scot Harvath's mission is one of the deadliest he has ever undertaken.

Across Europe, a secret organization has begun attacking diplomats.  Reminiscent of the Red Brigades and the Red Army Faction of the 1970s, these faceless terrorists appear to have the same goals.  But in the shadowy realm of international espionage, looks are always deceptive.

As a prelude to war, one of the world's most dangerous intelligence agencies has been charged with preparing the battlefield.  Their job - to demoralize the enemy and win the conflict before it even begins.  To do so, they will sow as much chaos, dissent, and destruction as possible.  There's only one obstacle standing in their way.

Dispatched to Europe, Scot Harvath and his team have been tasked with a critical assignment - to do whatever it takes to keep America and her NATO allies from being dragged into war.

But with his mentor out of the game, Harvath must play an additional role; one which he has spent his entire career avoiding, and one which he believes he is ill prepared to take on.  In his most important operation ever, will he be able to thread this perilous needle?  Or, will it end up being the downfall of America and the West?

In Spymaster, Scot Harvath proves more cunning, more dangerous, and more lethal than ever before.  With breathless pacing, ripped-from-the-headlines twists, and the predictive storytelling that are his trademark, Brad Thor has written his finest thriller.  If you have never read a novel by "America's favorite author" (KKTX), this Brad Thor novel is the place to start.

BRAD THOR is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of eighteen thrillers, including Use of Force, The Last Patriot (nominated best thriller of the year by the International Thriller Writers Association), Blowback (recognized as one of the "Top 100 Killer Thrillers of All Time" by NPR), The Athena Project, Foreign Influence (one of Suspense Magazine's best political thrillers of the year), and The Lions of Lucerne ("One of the best political thrillers ever" - Barnes & Noble).  Follow Brad on Facebook at Facebook.com/BradThor and on Twitter @BradThor, and visit his website at BradThor.com.

The
Sum
of All
Fears
Tom Clancy


In the aftermath of Communism's collapse, the Gulf War, the realignment of the world's powers, comes a novel so terrifyingly real, so uncommonly prescient, that it could have been written only by Tom Clancy.

With his "genius for big, compelling plots" and his "natural narrative gift" (The New York Times Magazine), Clancy has written five novels, which now total more than 28 million copies in print.  His most recent book, Clear and Present Danger, was the best-selling novel of the 1980s.

And now he gives us his most remarkable novel yet.

How do you save the United States President from himself?  What if the President is incompetent to deal with the greatest crisis of all?  Jack Ryan never thought he would have to ask those

questions as, the world order changing, he prepares the ground for the Middle Eastern peace plan that, at last, might be the one to work.

But too many groups have invested too much blood.  Shunned by their erstwhile Soviet sponsors, increasingly isolated by the realignment of the Mideast, these terrorists have one more desperate card to play, requiring a degree of ruthlessness never before seen.  With one terrible act, the world is plunged into an instant nuclear crisis - and the floundering President is plunged into the ultimate nightmare.  Forces collide.  Shots are exchanged.  What had seemed to be an isolated and horrible incident appears to each side as the incendiary mischief of the other.  With the world poised on the brink of nuclear war, Ryan and his FBI counterpart, Dan Murray, frantically seek a solution before the chiefs of state lose control of themselves - and the world.

With the exceptional realism and authenticity that have long been his hallmarks, Tom Clancy constructs a novel of unrelenting suspense, a story as explosive as today's headlines.  It is Tom Clancy at his best - and there is no better.

Tom Clancy is the author of The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, and Clear and Present Danger.  He lives in Maryland.

But now it was halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There was no way to return. And ahead lay the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas lived in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. Behind them came Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks – though hardly in courage!

From epubbooks.com:

Tarzan of the Apes is very much a product of its age: replete with bloodthirsty natives and a bulky, swooning American Negress, and haunted by what zoo specialists now call charismatic megafauna (great beasts snarling, roaring, and stalking, most of whom would be out of place in a real African jungle). Burroughs countervails such incorrectness, however, with some rather unattractive representations of white civilization–mutinous, murderous sailors, effete aristos, self-involved academics, and hard-hearted cowards. At Tarzan’s heart rightly lies the resourceful and hunky title character, a man increasingly torn between the civil and the savage, for whom cutlery will never be less than a nightmare. The passages in which the nut-brown boy teaches himself to read and write are masterly and among the book’s improbable, imaginative best. How tempting it is to adopt the ten-year-old’s term for letters–“little bugs”! And the older Tarzan’s realization that civilized “men were indeed more foolish and more cruel than the beasts of the jungle,” while not exactly a new notion, is nonetheless potent. The first in Burroughs’s serial is most enjoyable in its resounding oddities of word and thought, including the unforgettable “When Tarzan killed he more often smiled than scowled; and smiles are the foundation of beauty.”

Two tribes of frightful warrior women, the Kaji and the Zuli, war with one another for possession of the men they lure into slavery.  Their mysterious hypnotic power comes from the magnificent gems they worship - an emerald and a diamond, each as big as a human head.  Will the Lord of the Jungle be immune to the strange power of the Kaji and the Zuli?

The
Teeth
of the Tiger


A new generation takes over, in Tom Clancy's extraordinary - and extraordinarily prescient - new novel.

A man named Mohammed sits in a café in Vienna, about to propose a deal to a Colombian.  Mohammed has a strong network of agents and sympathizers throughout Europe and the Middle East, and the Colombian has an equally strong drug network throughout America.  What if they were to form an alliance, to combine all their assets and connections?  The potential for profits would be enormous - and the potential for destruction unimaginable.

In the Brave New World of terrorism, where any-body with a spare AK-47, a knowledge of kitchen chemistry, or simply the will to die can become a player, the old rules no longer apply.  No matter what new governmental organizations come into being, the only ones that could be truly effective are those that are quick and agile, free of oversight and restrictions... and outside the system.

Way outside the system.

In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, a firm named Hendley Associates does a profitable business in stocks, bonds, and international currencies, but its real mission is quite different: to identify and locate terrorist threats, and then deal with them, in whatever manner necessary.  Set up with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan, "The Campus" is always on the lookout for promising new talent, its recruiters scattered throughout the armed forces and government agencies - and three men are about to cross its radar.

The first of them is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico, whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case.  The second is Caruso's brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first combat

action, in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch.  And the third is their cousin... a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr.

Jack has grown up around intrigue.  As his father rose through the ranks of the CIA and then to the White House, Jack received a life course in the world and the way it works, from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Servicemen, and black-ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez.  He wants to put it all to work now - but when he knocks on the front door of "The Campus," he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to encounter.  For it is indeed a different world out there, and in here... and it is about to become a lot more dangerous.

Over the course of twelve novels, Tom Clancy's "genius for big, compelling plots" and "natural narrative gift" (The New York Times Magazine) have established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time.  His new book, however, is perhaps the most remarkable of all, and the most timely.  Filled with the exceptional realism and cutting-edge authenticity that are his hallmarks, this is Clancy at his best - and there is none better.

Tom Clancy is the author of The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears, Without Remorse, Debt of Honor, Executive Orders, The Bear and the Dragon, and Red Rabbit.  He is also the author of the Commanders books Into the Storm, with General Fred Franks, Jr. (Ret.); Every Man a Tiger, with General Chuck Horner (Ret.); and Shadow Warriors, with General Carl Stiner (Ret.); and of the paperback nonfiction series that includes Submarine, Armored Cav, Fighter Wing, Marine, Airborne, Carrier, and Special Forces.  Clancy lives in Maryland.

"CLANCY STiLL REIGNS."
- THE WASHINGTON POST


Number-one New York Times - bestselling author TOM CLANCY returns with an electrifying work of fiction that may soon be frighteningly close to reality....

For the covert warriors of the secret organization known as The Campus, the fight against America's enemies is never over - if only because one enemy's destruction inevitably gives rise to a new, even more dangerous foe.  But for Jack Ryan, Jr., and his comrades, the danger has just hit home in a way they never expected.

The Campus has been discovered.  And whoever knows it exists knows it can be destroyed.

Meanwhile, President Jack Ryan has been swept back into the Oval Office - and his wisdom and courage are needed more desperately than ever.  Internal political and economic strife has pushed the leadership of China to the edge of disaster.  And those who wish to consolidate their power are using the opportunity to strike at long-desired Taiwan and at the Americans who have protected the island nation from China's depredations.

Now, as two superpowers move ever closer to a final confrontation, President Ryan must use the only wild card he has left - The Campus.  But with their existence about to be revealed, its members may not even have a chance to enter the battle before the world is consumed by war.

In Threat Vector, Tom Clancy once again proves his absolute command of military action and international intrigue with a thriller that will have readers turning the pages - and turning in their sleep.

Back flap:

Thirty years ago, TOM CLANCY was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history.  Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore's Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel.  His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it "the perfect yarn."  Since then Clancy has established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense.

MARK GREANEY has a degree in international relations and political science and is pursuing his master's in intelligence studies with a concentration in criminal intelligence.  He is the author of The Gray Man, On Target, and Ballistic.  In his research for these novels, he traveled to seven countries and trained alongside military and law enforcement in the use of firearms, battlefield medicine, and close-range combat tactics.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR BRAD THOR RETURNS WITH RIVETING INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE AND HIGH-STAKES ESPIONAGE, SHOWING AGAIN THAT HE IS "THE ULTIMATE THRILLER WRITER"
(SUSPENSE MAGAZINE).

As a storm rages across the Mediterranean Sea, a terrifying distress call is made to the Italian Coast Guard.  Days later, a man's body washes ashore.

Identified as a high-value terrorism suspect (who had disappeared three years prior), the man's name sends panic through the Central Intelligence Agency.  Where was he headed?  What was he planning?  And could he be connected to the "spectacular attack" they have been fearing all summer?

In a race against time, the CIA taps an unorthodox source to get answers: Navy SEAL turned covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath.  Hired on a black contract, Harvath will undertake the deadliest assignment of his career, and break every rule along the way.

Packed with pulse-pounding action, fascinating characters, and electrifying intrigue, Use of Force proves why Brad Thor is known around the world as the "Master of Thrillers" and "one of the best writers you are ever going to read."

Remorse
Tom Clancy


Two missions, two wars, one man - and time running out.

Over the course of seven novels, Tom Clancy's "genius for big, compelling plots" and his "natural narrative gift" (The New York Times Magazine) have mesmerized tens of millions of readers and established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time.  Without Remorse, however, goes beyond anything he has ever done.
Its hero is John Kelly, a man well familiar to Clancy's readers by his code name, Mr. Clark.  In The Sum of All Fears, he hunted down nuclear terrorists.  In Clear and Present Danger, he led aerial raids against drug lords.  In The Cardinal of the Kremlin, he spirited away a KGB chiefs family by submarine.  But nothing will ever be as deadly - or as personal - as the danger he must face in Without Remorse.

John Kelly, former Navy SEAL and Vietnam veteran, is still getting over the accidental death of his wife six months before, when he befriends a young woman with a decidedly

checkered past.  When that past reaches out for her in a particularly horrifying fashion, he vows revenge and, assembling all of his old skills, sets out to track down the men responsible, before it can happen again.

At the same time, the Pentagon is readying an operation to rescue a key group of prisoners in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp.  One man, they find, knows the terrain around the camp better than anyone else they have: a certain former Navy SEAL named John Kelly.

Kelly has his own mission.  The Pentagon wants him for theirs.  Attempting to juggle the two, Kelly (now code-named Mr. Clark) finds himself confronted by a vast array of enemies, both at home and abroad - men so skillful that the slightest misstep means death.  And the fate of dozens of people, including Kelly himself, rests on his making sure that misstep never happens.

Men aren't born dangerous.  They grow dangerous.  And the most dangerous of all, Kelly learns, are the ones you least expect....

As Clancy takes us through the twists and turns of Without Remorse, he blends the exceptional realism and authenticity that are his hallmarks with intricate plotting, knife-edge suspense and a remarkable cast of characters.  This is Clancy at his best - and there is none better.

Tom Clancy is the author of The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears.  He is also the author of the nonfiction book Submarine: A Guided Tour Inside a Nuclear Warship.  He lives in Maryland.
