THE RACE AGAINST TIME AND TERROR Off the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, heads of state are gathering for a world conference that could very well be their last. Their hotel is the pinnacle of luxury-and the perfect terrorist target. A rogue agent and his power-hungry madmen are preparing to launch the ultimate weapon-even as they hunt relentlessly for the only two people who can stop this catastrophe. And aboard a museum piece World War II PT boat in the Pacific, a maverick American scientist and a beautiful, brash TV anchorwoman must win a race against all the odds... before the future of the world spins out of control.

The old U.S.S.R. is dead-but new evil has risen from its ashes, calling itself Phoenix Group. Led by a brilliant and obsessed rogue officer, manned by the most dedicated, deadly soldiers of the once all-powerful Soviet secret army. Their plan is to launch a biological weapon attack that will throw the fragile new world order into chaos. Their launching pad: a remote state on the northern frontier of India ruled by a power-hungry warlord. And the only people who could stop them: marine biologist Cas Bonner and gutsy, gorgeous Dr. Jackie Dunbar, in a game without rules against a danger without limits for the lives of millions and the future of the world...

Biography of a American prisoner of war told by his son. He had reconstructed Samuel Lawrence Heisinger's story primariy through first hand reports, diaries, journals, scraps of paper, often buried and later uncovered or very carefully and dangerously carried to the end of the war. The information used from others' writing deals directly with the same events seen and experienced by Samuel Heisinger. Other information was collected through interviews with other prisoners who knew Samuel and letters written to his family after the war ended.

The Clinton Tapeswas a secret project, initiated by Clinton, to preserve for future historians an unfiltered record of presidential experience. During his eight years in office, Clinton met with Taylor Branch in the White House, usually late at night, to answer questions and tell stories. Branch recorded seventy-nine of their dialogues to compile a trove of raw information about a presidency as it happened. Branch then recorded his own detailed recollections immediately after each session, covering not only the subjects discussed but also the look and feel of each evening with the president. Their discussions were unpredictable, intense, and candid. At any given moment the president could leap from memories to a current crisis or problems with his daughter's homework. The resultant text captures Clinton from many angles. Branch's firsthand narrative is confessional, unsparing, and personal. What should an objective prompter say when the President of the United States seeks advice, argues facts, or lodges complaints against the press? The relationship that emerges from these interviews is dynamic, both affectionate and charged, with flashes of anger and humor. President Clinton drives the history, but this story is also about two friends.

RANDY AND ROUGH, HE'S A MEAN MOUNTAIN MAN WITH A NOSE FOR TROUBLE AND HANKERIN’ FOR HOT BEAVER! Holed up at a trappers' camp when the winter snow hits, Jack Pike and his ornery trail pard Skins McConnell found good shelter for their hides, and enough cheap whiskey and willin' women to keep them busy until the thaw. But when spring came, Pike pulled together a band of mountain men to run their fur down the Missouri for the fleshpots and trading posts in the city of St. Joe. His long gun primed and cocked, Pike had more hot action than most men could handle. By day, he had the perils of a raging river and bloody troubles with renegade Crow indians at each bend. By night, there were the sure, swift strokes of his dark-haired trail beauty who kept his course straight and his strength up. Then, just shy of port, Cal Devers and his lowdown gang ambushed them. Pumping big-bore bullets fast and furious, the big mountain man brought the deadly fight to a powerful climax of outlaw blood!

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.

ZERO HOUR Deep below the surface of the South Pacific, the U.S. Navy cargo ship Panjanq floated, delicately suspended above the ocean bottom. The ultra-expert diving team of Cas Bonner and Steve Chaffee and the beautiful, brilliant undersea geologist Napah Gilchrist knew it was there. They also knew that aboard was a weapon triggered to explode the world's hope for peace. They even knew the time that the instrument of global destruction was computer-programmed to be launched on its mega-murderous mission. But one thing they did not know. How to stop it. And they had just twelve minutes to find out...
