A computer virus has infiltrated the most lethal weapon in the global arsenal-a Soviet stealth aircraft with the power to ignite nuclear holocaust. Now it has jettisoned its human pilots and lies on the surface of the Pacific with all its system intact, programmed for catastrophe. This relentlessly daring and proactive high-tech global thriller delivers pulse-raising suspense from its opening sentence to its gripping climax. A true master of adventure." - Clive Cussler

EYE OF THE TIGER The Bengal set sail from a teeming Singapore harbor, but its precious cargo comes from the heart of the war-torn Middle East. The freighter is traveling under the flag of Cameroon, headed for an unknown destination. Deep in its hull the ship carries one of the deadliest devices ever invented, which silently waits for the perfect moment to detonate. EYE OF THE STORM The intelligence forces of the world discover that a red bomb-an anti-personnel, mercury-based nuclear device-is on board the missing freighter. But one man, a veteran of the international killing game, is prying loose the information-tracking clues in the twisting alleys of Cairo and across the blood-stained streets of Northern Ireland-that will expose the conspirators. Meanwhile a former Special Forces officer is on board the hellbound vessel itself. Now, analysts and soldiers, spies and strategists scramble in Washington, the Middle East and even Castro's crumbling Cuba in a frantic search to find the Bengal. But only the terrorists themselves know where they are going to strike-and how their weapon will launch the next war.

"Is it really possible to predict your future? As we look at the universe around us, we see a rhythm to all of life. We discover that all things move in cycles. The law of cycles governs both the spiritual and material universes, for our world is a reflection of the world beyond, of higher realms, of spiritual dimensions. In this groundbreaking work, Elizabeth Clare Prophet shows how you can apply the law of cycles to your own life through a science known as the Cosmic Clock. This science will help you chart the cycles of your karma, the cause-and-effect sequences in your life, just as it will allow you to map the inner dimensions of your dharma, your duty to fulfill your reason for being. This is not predestination. But you can, by charting your personal Cosmic Clock, learn to see the patterns in your life and prepare for the challenges and the opportunities that come your way each day. Equipped with the powerful tools and techniques revealed in this book, you can make the most of your future and be the master of your fate, your cycles, your destiny. Includes 60 figures and illustrations, many in color."
