Das Team von Covert One verteidigt Amerika gegen einen technologisch überlegenen Feind Die neue Erfindung des genialen Wissenschaftlers Christian Dresner schlägt ein wie eine Bombe. Der Merge ist ein hochleistungsfähiger Mini-Computer, gegen den selbst die modernsten Smartphones und Tablet-PCs wie Kinderspielzeug wirken. Lieutenant Jon Smith von der Spezialeinheit Cover One erkennt das verheerende militärische Potenzial des Geräts. Für ihn steht fest: Der Merge darf auf keinen Fall in die falschen Hände geraten! Doch die Hinweise verdichten sich, dass seine Warnung bereits zu spät kommt ...

Quando la Dresner Industries presenta la sua ultima creazione, il Merge, un dispositivo destinato a rivoluzionare il mondo e a rendere obsoleti il computer e lo smartphone, il colonnello Jon Smith di Covert-One viene incaricato di valutare la sua possibile applicazione militare. Subito, Smith si rende conto che - grazie al potenziamento della vista, al controllo in tempo reale del campo di battaglia attraverso un display sofisticato, alla garanzia di una mira pressoché perfetta e all''inviolabilità del sistema - il Merge è il precursore e il protagonista assoluto di una tecnologia che cambierà per sempre la nozione stessa di guerra. Una tecnologia che per nessuna ragione dovrà mai cadere in mani nemiche. Intanto, sulle montagne dell''Afghanistan, l''agente della CIA Randi Russell scopre che un villaggio è stato teatro di un massacro e che tutti i miliziani morti erano equipaggiati con tecnologia Merge, ancora sconosciuta all''Intelligence. Russell e Smith cominciano allora a indagare sulla carneficina, ma l''indagine viene prontamente bloccata da qualcuno che sembra far parte dei gradi più alti dell''apparato militare, e che agisce all''insaputa dello stesso Presidente. Il Merge è davvero così sicuro come sostiene il suo ideatore? E perché il Pentagono sembra così ansioso di mantenere il segreto più assoluto sul suo sviluppo? Smith e Russell sono determinati a svelare la verità. Anche a costo della loro stessa vita.

While assessing the military potential of a new intelligence device, Covert-One''s Colonel Jon Smith realizes the technology must never fall into the hands of America''s enemies.

Dans le nord de l’Ouganda, une unité spéciale des forces américaines est décimée par de paisibles villageois, soudain assoiffés de sang et animés d''une force surhumaine qui les rend insensibles à la douleur, aux blessures et à la peur. Seul le chef des opérations parvient à échapper, par miracle, à cette horde enragée... Le colonel Jon Smith, le microbiologiste de la très secrète unité Covert-One, est dépêché sur les lieux pour mener l’enquête et tenter de percer le mystère de ces attaques sanguinaires. Il ne tarde pas à trouver la trace d’une infection parasitaire, apparue de façon sporadique au fil des siècles, causant chez les personnes contaminées de violents accès de démence. Mais cette fois, l’épidémie se propage de façon alarmante et trop ciblée pour être naturelle...

In northern Uganda, an American special forces team is decimated by a group of normally peaceful farmers. Video of the attack shows even women and children possessing almost supernatural speed and strength, consumed with a rage that makes them immune to pain, fear, and all but the most devastating injuries. Covert-One''s top operative, army microbiologist Colonel Jon Smith, is sent to investigate the attack and finds evidence of a parasitic infection that for centuries has been causing violent insanity and then going dormant. This time, though, it''s different. The parasite had been purposely kept alive and crudely transmitted in acts of terrorism. Now the director of Iranian Intelligence is in Uganda trying to obtain this biological weapon to unleash it on the West. Smith and his team are ambushed and cut off from all outside support just as they begin to suspect that forces much more powerful than the Iranians are in play-forces that can be traced to Washington itself.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Vince Flynn''s Mitch Rapp Series It''s bold. It''s dangerous. It''s the kind of maverick operation that has made Mark Beamon both the FBI''s best agent and its least-likely-to-succeed screw-up. A top-secret FBI file -- buried in an anonymous government warehouse since J. Edgar Hoover''s death -- is missing. The unlucky grad student who uncovered it is dead, and now his ex-girlfriend is on the run, accused of the murder. The only man everyone agrees can find the young woman and turn up the explosive document is "off-duty," suspended and under the threat of prosecution by the bureau itself. Beamon knows better than anyone that this is his last shot to save his career -- and his country. Tracking the young woman down, though, will be the hardest assignment he''s ever tackled, for she''s a gutsy world-class rock-climber who can drop out of sight anywhere in the world. And even if he finds her and the file, who can he trust when the FBI itself is under suspicion? Beamon has no room for wrong guesses -- or moves. If he blows this one, he''ll free fall straight out of the bureau -- and straight into prison....

Now he isn''t just looking for a young girl -- he''s got to stop a bizarre conspiracy that could bring America to its knees...

From Kyle Mills, New York Times bestselling author of Vince Flynn''s Mitch Rapp novels, comes a story of a professional thief whose latest job could save the world. Brandon Vale is a career thief---the best there is. Or at least he was before he was thrown in prison for a jewel heist gone bad. And even more embarrassing, he had nothing to do with it. His time inside is going fairly quietly until the night he''s broken out against his will by Richard Scanlon, the now-retired FBI agent who framed him in the first place. Scanlon, who still has ties to the United States intelligence community, has discovered that a Ukrainian crime organization is auctioning twelve nuclear warheads to the highest bidder, but he can''t convince the government that the sale isn''t a hoax. The only way he can get his hands on the $200 million necessary to take the warheads off the market is to do something that goes against everything he stands for: steal it. The choice Brandon is given is simple: help Scanlon and hope to live through it, or turn himself in and face the repercussions of his "escape." Suddenly, Brandon finds himself with only weeks to plan a Las Vegas heist that that he''s been dreaming about for years, but has always thought was probably impossible. And to make matters worse, Scanlon insists on choosing his team personally. Led by the relentlessly intelligent and undeniably beautiful Catherine Juarez, not a single one of the former government operatives he picks has so much as shoplifted a pack of gum in their lives. As the day of the heist approaches, Brandon''s carefully constructed plans begin to break down and he suspects that the elaborate double-cross he''s devised to save himself could cost millions of lives. He finally has to ask himself just how far he''s willing to be dragged into a game that he can only lose. With The Second Horseman, the heart-stopping, all-too-real novel, Kyle Mills proves once again that he is one of the freshest and most original thriller writers working today.

In this new thriller by the bestselling author of "Rising Phoenix," a secret department of Homeland Security tries to recruit a retired agent who is bitterly angry at the government he believes abandoned him.

"Abandoned by friends, family, and the industry his own ancestors helped build, Trevor finds an unlikely ally in a beautiful anti-tobacco lobbyist with whom he''s secretly been in love with for years. Together they hatch a plan to fight back."--BOOK JACKET.
