“An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies. But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was. Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Quest “Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin “Superbly written, wholly satisfying, unforgettable: better than any fantasy trilogy in print—including mine!”—Melanie Rawn

With his New York Times bestselling Doc Ford novels, author Randy Wayne White has been hailed as “the best new writer since Carl Hiaasen” (Denver Post). But decades ago, under the pen name Randy Striker, he was already delivering non-stop thrills with ex–Navy SEAL Dusky MacMorgan, who finds that seduction can be the deadliest thrill of all. MacMorgan has been many things to many people in his lifetime: warrior, adventurer, lover, hell-raiser, and hero. Now, the U.S. government wants him to be something else—an assassin. At the ultra-exclusive Florida resort of St. Carib, the rich, famous, and elite flock to have their bodies sculpted and scalpeled to perfection. An odd destination for MacMorgan, but that’s where he’s landed in his quest to take out a cabal of international terrorists before they can wipe out the resort’s entire coddled client list. But MacMorgan never expected to fall for a woman whose beauty is beyond reckoning—and he never expected to become a target for assassination himself.

A splendid rendition of the classic good versus evil adventure in which reality reveals that the good guys don’t always win. Chief Warrant Officer Zack Stone, a DIA and Special Ops Command asset, has been sent by the Central Intelligence Agency to Berlin, Germany, to assassinate the German minister of defense. The German Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) forces one of the flight attendants working the Washington, DC, to Berlin flight to drug Zack, rendering him ineffective at defending himself upon arrival. Zack and the U.S. Army attaché to Berlin are taken captive by agents of the Kommando Spezialkräfte and brought to Gen. Erik Kruger’s country home outside Berlin. Convinced by the general that he is being set up, Zack and the colonel teamed up to investigate and bring to an end the kill order against him. Along the way, Zack and Colonel Good are under constant attack, not only by the CIA but also by a group calling themselves the New Order of Nazis, led by Dieter Bayer, a close associate of the German chancellor. This group are hell-bent on taking over the government of Germany with Chancellor Deidre Dallenbach as their leader or eliminating her during the process. They hire a professional assassin from Argentina, grandson of a real Nazi during Hitler’s days, to kill Zack after he interfered and prevented an assassination of the chancellor. Schizophrenic psychopath Charles Mason, former CIA infiltration team member with Colonel Good and Zack’s father, Bart Stone, is dead set on taking out both Zack and the colonel. The two were instrumental in breaking up a lucrative scam by the chief of CIA’s Special Activities Division, the Berlin chief of station, and Mason, bilking the U.S. government out of millions of dollars. After former SOC asset Vince Carmichael leads a hit squad that assassinates Colonel Good and his wife, Maddy, in Berlin, a final showdown between former SEAL team members, led by Carmichael, and Zack’s adopted family takes place in southeast Colorado near Colonel Good’s Three Oaks Ranch.
