Brown, Dale Shadows of Steel
Putnam Pub Group 1996 0399141391 / 9780399141393 Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $24.95 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - Tight spine - Bright papges - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - 367 pages - The world is a dangerous place. Hardly a revelation, but for the new president of the United States, nothing drives it home more forcefully than the sight of a newly nuclear Iran throwing its weight around the Persian Gulf, while the United States stands by uneasily, its military weakened by years of budget cuts and unpopular, inconclusive police actions. But there is one weapon he can use, and he does so now: the newest secret cell of the CIA's Intelligence Support Agency, code-named Future Flight. Take a group with speed, skill, and audacity, put a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber in its hands, then send it out to find Iran's key military, industrial, and command centers, and destroy them: quickly, quietly, secretly, untraceably - the ultimate stealth attack. Under the command of aerial strike warfare expert Patrick McLanahan, the team begins its mission brilliantly - and then all hell breaks loose, as Iran and its allies take their war of intimidation further than anyone thought they would. With the Persian Gulf tottering and the situation escalating hourly, only the men and women of Future Flight, and their commando brethren, stand between the United States and a catastrophe of worldwide proportions.

The Swiss Account is an explosive inside look at Switzerland's financing of the Third Reich, and it gives us a Switzerland none of us have known. Due to its neutrality, Switzerland is the spy capital of Europe, but by 1945 our chief spymaster, Allen Dulles, is faced with a foe as ruthless as Himmler's SS - the Swiss banking establishment. Their vaults bulge with Nazi gold, the bloody plunder of Hitler's tyranny. With it the Germans are buying high-tech military hardware to create an atom bomb. Dulles' job is to halt this profiteering and he dispatches three young recruits - Nancy Reichman, a beautiful American attache, Peter Burckhardt, Swiss heir to major banking interests, and Felicitas Burckhardt, a brilliant physicist - on a daring, top-secret mission to Bavaria. They have three goals: to stop the shipments of Swiss arms to Germany, to sabotage the German atom bomb, and against all odds, to stay alive.

Follett, Ken Hornet Flight
New York, NY, U.S.A. Dutton/Plume 2002 0525946896 / 9780525946892 First Edition Hard Cover As New Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
"It's June 1941, and the low point of the war. England throws wave after wave of RAF bombers across the Channel, but somehow the Luftwaffe is able to shoot them down at will. The skies - indeed, the war itself seem to belong to Hitler." "But on a small Danish island across the North Sea, Harald Olufsen, a bright eighteen-year-old with a talent for engineering, stumbles upon a secret German installation. Its machinery is like nothing he has ever seen before, and he knows he must tell someone - if he can only figure out who." "With England preparing its largest aerial assault over, what Harald has discovered may turn the course of the war - but the race to convey the information could have terrible consequences for everyone close to him: For his older brother Arne, a pilot in the grounded Danish air force and already under suspicion of the authorities. For Arne's fiancee, Hermia, an MI6 intelligence analyst desperate to resurrect the foundering Danish resistance. And most of all, for Harald himself, because as the hour of the assault approaches, it will all fall to him and his friend Karen to get the word to England. And the only means available to them is a derelict Hornet Moth airplane abandoned in a ruined church, a plane so decrepit that it is unlikely ever to get off the ground." Pursued by the enemy; hunted by collaborators with almost no training, limited fuel, and no way of knowing if they can even survive the six hundred-mile flight, the two will carry with them England's best - perhaps only - hope to avoid disaster.

Forsyth, Frederick The Fist of God
New York, NY, U.S.A. Bantam Books 1994 0553091263 / 9780553091267 Hard Cover Fine Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
Only Frederick Forsyth, acknowledged master of international intrigue and suspense, could have created the one story about the Persian Gulf War that could never be revealed - until now. From the behind-the-scenes decision-making of the Allies to the secret meetings of Saddam Hussein's war cabinet, from the brave American fliers running their dangerous missions over Iraq to the heroic young spy planted deep in the heart of Baghdad, Forsyth's incomparable storytelling skill keeps the suspense at a breakneck pace. Unless the Allies can penetrate the Iraqi regime, they fear they will be sending the vast coalition of air and land forces they have mobilized after the invasion of Kuwait into a bloody desert Armageddon. Then word leaks out to British intelligence that Israel's Mossad had once run a mole in Iraq itself - someone in the highest levels of Saddam's government whose identity even the Mossad had never been able to discover. This is the mysterious "Jericho," and into Baghdad, under the very eyes of Iraq's fearsome secret police, goes Major Mike Martin of Britain's elite Special Air Service Regiment, disguised as an Arab and determined to reestablish the connection with Jericho. It is a most dangerous game. Moreover, while Jericho can convey - for a price - inside information about what is going on in the high councils of the Iraqi dictator, Saddam has kept his ultimate weapon secret even from his most trusted advisers. The nightmare scenario that haunts General Schwarzkopf and his colleagues is suddenly imminent unless, somehow, Mike Martin can locate that weapon in time. Peopled with vivid characters, brilliantly displaying the intricacies of intelligence operations, both electronic and human, moving back and forth between Washington and London, Baghdad and Kuwait, desert vastnesses and city bazaars, revealing espionage tradecraft as only Frederick Forsyth can, The Fist of God is a breathtaking novel that tells the utterly convincing story of what may actual

Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $23.95 - Irina Ismaylova kills men and women. For her victims, death comes unexpectedly, and she leaves no trace of her presence behind, because each assassination is carried out in its own unique and ingenious fashion. Irina does not kill for pleasure, or for money. She kills at the behest of Sergei Krupatin, the sleek and brilliant Russian crime lord who exerts a mysterious and monstrous hold over her. Irina is desperate to escape Krupatin, to regain a portion of her shattered self, but before she can she must carry out one last, deadly mission for him. But this time, Irina's odds of surviving seem impossible. FBI special agent Cate Cuevas, still in mourning, has just learned of a devastating betrayal by her slain husband. Wounded and shaken, she is suddenly plunged into the most challenging and dangerous assignment of her career. The leaders of three great international crime organizations, the Hong Kong Chinese, the Sicilian La Cosa Nostra, and the Russian Mafia, are to meet in Houston. The implications are stunning, and horrendous. But the FBI has a chance to stop this unholy alliance, if Cate Cuevas can infiltrate the Russian contingent - and if she can get out alive. When Cate and Irina meet, each playing their shadow roles, they are drawn to each other strangely and powerfully. And as Cate and Irina fight to survive amid the intricate and deadly stratagems of men of violence and cunning - Sergei Krupatin, the courtly young Siciliano Carlo Bontate, the mysteriously exotic Chinese Wei Tsing, and Cate's win-at-all-costs FBI handlers - their relationship becomes an ever-more-intimate dance of sexual attraction and murderous intent.

Marcinko. Richard and Weisman, John Rogue Warrior Green Team
Pocket Books 1995 0671896717 / 9780671896713 First Edition Hard Cover As New Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
The revelations from Richard Marcinko -- the fearlessly controversial Navy commando -- in his explosive #1 bestselling autobiography, Rogue Warrior, reverberated through the highest levels of the U.S. government. From his exploits leading SEAL TEAM SIX, the most effective and highly secret counterterrorist unit in the world, to his missions penetrating the Navy's most secure installations, Marcinko brought real-life adventure to a new level. But, bound by government restrictions, Marcinko was forbidden to tell the whole story. The answer was fiction -- Rogue Warrior: Red Cell, the take-no-prisoners bestseller with Marcinko as hero. Now the Rogue Warrior's back and he's hotter than ever, in a knockout novel of courage and nonstop action. Under deep coverf, on direct orders from the Oval Office, the Rogue Warrior and his GREEN TEAM of U.S. Navy SEALs have slipped overseas to snatch a terrorist and bring him to justice in an American courtroom. But events divert him to another mission. In Portsmouth, England, an aircraft carrier has been sabotaged. Thirty-six are killed -- including the British Admiral of the Fleet, and the American Chief of Naval Operations, one of the few friends the Rogue Warrior had left in the Navy. Marcinko elbows his way onto the case, where he discovers a SEAL's worst nightmare: a transnational terror network in the making, and no one paying attention. A holy war is brewing -- en elusive, modern-day Saladin, whose hunger for power is matched by his cruel genius, has taken control of a vast, violent religious movement that is encircling the globe, growing in strength, and lethally zeroing in on the West. Defeating that global menace will be the supreme test of Marcinko's deadly GREEN TEAM, a top-secret unit that operates outside the U.S. military's chain of command. But others don't want Marcinko and his SEALs prowling and growling where they could actually do some good. Missions are compromised. Men die. Secrets are leaked. Governments are embarrassed. In London and in Washington, the political and military wolves look for a sacrificial lam -- and its Dick Marcinko they select for the slaughter. For the Rogue Warrior -- always a renegade and now a fugitive -- it's time to declare a holy war of his own. The enemy may have the ultimate weapon of terror, but the men of the GREEN TEAM has Marcinko's Tenth Commandment of SpecWar: There Are No Rules -- Thou Shalt Win at All Cost!

Safire, William; Safir, Leonard (compiled & Edited by) Sleeper Spy a Novel of Deception
New York, NY, U.S.A. Random House, Incorporated 1995 067943447x / 9780679434474 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
A master sleeper spy, assimilated into American life for twenty years, has been made operative and given control of the vast financial assets of the old KGB - and has disappeared with the fortune. His reputation is deadly, and his manipulation of enormous wealth begins to alter the world's political and financial structure. Although the old KGB has been dismantled, new KGB bosses and old KGB hard-liners bent on reinstating the old guard's lethal techniques are determined to find the sleeper. And so is the world's greatest reporter, Irving Fein. Fein is a character only William Safire could create: driven, mean, funny, always the "skunk at the garden party." Relentlessly resourceful, Fein is always suspicious, always thinking; and his access to the top in politics, the CIA, the media, is the best. But Irving isn't charming, nor is he good on television; and he needs a big story. Viveca Farr is Fein's journalistic opposite - a TV anchorwoman who is popular on the air but lacks stature as a reporter. Working together, they decide to "walk back the cat" and break the story of the notorious sleeper spy - even as the sleeper is devising brilliant ways to elude them.
