Vermomd als Arabier jaagt een Britse beroepsofficier en geheim agent ten tijde van de Golfoorlog op Saddam Husseins atoombomkanon: de vuist van God.

Com'è fatto il mondo segreto di uno scrittore strapremiato, adorato dal pubblico e dalla critica? Per venticinque anni Lisey è stata sposata al celebre Scott Landon. Un lungo, stupendo matrimonio con lui - un uomo meraviglioso ma complicato, con una tara nel sangue - e con l'universo di lui, una dimensione proibita ai normali, piena di cose fantastiche ed esaltanti, ma anche letali; di forze che possono risanare o uccidere, in virtù di leggi incomprensibili; il rifugio di un artista geniale e precoce, un Eden vigilato da un serpente inesorabile. Laggiù ci sono colline viola, mari al tramonto, ombre vaganti, tombe, e la "pozza delle parole", cui attingere a piene mani per creare e illudere... Però ora Scott è morto e la vita di Lisey è uguale a quella di tante altre. Non siamo a Boo'ya Moon, bensì nel prosaico Maine, dove lei affronta il triste compito di svuotare il gigantesco studio del marito, con la sua mole di manoscritti. Un gesto innocente, ma che può scatenare le reazioni inconsulte di certi fan un po' particolari. E non è tutto. Impegnata da una parte a difendersi dagli assalti alla sua persona, Lisey si rende conto, su un altro fronte, di essere come una porta lasciata aperta su quell'altro mondo ai confini tra ragione e pazzia... già intravede - negli specchi, nelle superfici lucide - il muso dell'essere che ha popolato gli incubi del marito, che ora viene per lei...

Maverick USAF pilot Patrick McLanahan is caught up in explosive events in the Middle East in this new high-action adventure from the bestselling author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG and WARRIOR CLASS. * Patrick McLanahan flies into a storm of troubles in a spectacular new thriller, packed with high-adrenalin flying action and adventure. Ostracised by the government, the Air Force and even his own family, aerial combat expert Patrick McLanahan has reached rock bottom. Or so he thought. While testing cutting-edge weapons in the skies over Libya, he and his private team are drawn into a treacherous struggle between northern Africa's power-hungry rulers. In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must finally decide where his loyalties lie -- and soon. For despite all the power at his command, it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan's final battle.

Filled with rage, a man scrawls anti-Semitic graffiti on a synagogue wall in Los Angeles' affluent West Side--and signs his handiwork with two dripping red crosses. But when the self-proclaimed Aryan begins to act out his murderous fantasies, the city is gripped by fear of "The Crosskiller!"

After the devastating "Flight of the Old Dog", Lt. Col. Patrick McLanahan was virtually exiled from the Air Force's ultrasecret High Technology Aerospace Weapons Center. Now he is offered a chance to test-fly a new, state-of-the-art B-2 bomber--and it is his last chance to prove himself.

From the author of Deadlock, Whirlpool and Double Jeopardy comes the reissue of, Terminal. Each of Colin Forbes' books have been published worldwide and translated into 30 languages.

The world is falling apart and there are plenty of people willing to take advantage. One of them is Pavel Kazakov, a Russian oilman with close ties to organized crime, who wants to build a pipeline through the Balkans. But Kazakov hasn't reckoned with Patrick McLanahan.

Lo spettro del bioterrorismo. Le agenzie di controspionaggio dell’Occidente sono in “allarme arancio”, il massimo livello di allerta. Come sempre, Nick Stone è in prima linea. Insieme alla sua nuova collega Suzy viene inviato in Malesia per eliminare un biochimico di Al Qaeda che sta progettando una serie di attentati. Per il bersaglio non ci sono speranze: l’azione è rapida, brutale. Al ritorno, Nick spera di poter finalmente dedicare un po’ di tempo alla figlia adottiva Kelly, ormai quattordicenne. La ragazza, che a sette anni aveva assistito alla strage della propria famiglia ed era stata salvata da Nick, non è riuscita a superare l’orribile shock ed è caduta nel vortice della droga. Nick avverte tutta la propria impotenza, ma sembra l’unico in grado di aiutarla. Vorrebbe esserle più vicino, tuttavia la guerra al terrorismo non fa sconti a nessuno. Richiamato in missione, scopre che un pericolo mortale incombe su New York, Londra, Berlino, metropoli nel mirino di terroristi islamici giunti proprio dalla Malesia per diffondervi il virus di una peste polmonare, nome in codice Dark Winter, le cui spore hanno viaggiato con una partita di bottiglie di vino. Ancora una volta, l’ex agente del SAS è costretto a collaborare con i suoi vecchi superiori, non meno spietati del nemico.

Un dicembre di fuoco per Nick Stone che, sospeso dal servizio attivo, ha accettato un incarico fuori dell'intelligence: rapire Valentin Lebed, un pezzo grosso della mafia cecena, che si trova in Finlandia. L'operazione va dannatamente storta, e Nick, che ha sempre un disperato bisogno di soldi, libera il suo prigioniero dietro la promessa di centomila dollari. Tornato a Londra e incassato il compenso, l'ex SAS riceve da Liv, una bella e intelligente finlandese che sarà il suo contatto, l'offerta di un lavoro per conto di Valentin: far entrare Tom, abilissimo hacker ma per il resto tutt'altro che brillante, in una casa in Finlandia per rubare alcuni segreti commerciali. Un giochetto da ragazzi, per un tipo come Stone. Apparentemente. Coinvolto in un gioco che sembra molto più grande di lui, Nick finisce per ritrovarsi in Estonia, nel cuore dell'inverno, solo,disarmato, con pochi soldi, un amico da recuperare e, come se non bastasse, i destini dell'Occidente da salvare...

Hitching rides is an unreliable mode of transport. In temperatures of over a hundred degrees, you’re lucky if a driver will open the door of his air-conditioned car long enough to let you slide in.

The last thing he’s worried about is exactly who picks him up. He never expected it to be somebody like Carmen. She’s alone, driving a Cadillac. She’s beautiful, young and rich. She has a little girl who is being watched by unseen observers. And a husband who is in jail. Who will beat her senseless when he comes out. If he doesn’t kill her first. Reacher is no stranger to trouble. And at Carmen’s remote ranch in Echo County there is plenty of it: lies and prejudice, hatred and murder. Reacher can never resist a lady in distress. Her family is hostile. The cops can’t be trusted. The lawyers won’t help. If Reacher can’t set things straight, who can?
