In the hands of a navy, it brings instant credibility and respect. In the hands of a diabolical terrorist, it could launch unspeakable horror. Admiral Arnold Morgan, the President's National Security Adviser, meets his greatest enemy yet.

A Navy SEAL's firsthand account of American heroism during a secret military operation in Afghanistan serves as the inspiration for a major motion picture. In late June 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs embarked on a mission to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader in a Taliban stronghold. Within twenty-four hours, only one SEAL remained alive: Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing. This gripping narrative details the desperate battle that resulted in the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history, highlighting the valor of Luttrell's teammates who fought fiercely alongside him. After being blasted unconscious by a rocket grenade and blown over a cliff, Luttrell, despite his injuries, fought off six al Qaeda assassins sent to finish him. He crawled seven miles through treacherous terrain before being sheltered by a Pashtun tribe, who risked everything to protect him from Taliban forces. Luttrell, a six-foot-five Texan, recounts the brutal training of Navy SEALs and the harrowing battle in Afghanistan's desolate peaks, where the American team faced overwhelming odds. This powerful narrative is a tribute to his fallen teammates and a testament to courage, honor, and patriotism in modern warfare.

America, Britain, and Russia are drawn into a battle for a gigantic oil strike on the desolate Falkland Islands in Patrick Robinson's newest international thriller. The year is 2011, and Russia is poised to help Argentina blast its way into the Falkland Islands, to hurl the ruling British out of the South Atlantic forever. Enraged at this act of international piracy, Great Britain dispatches a battle fleet to the islands for the second time in thirty years. Little do they realize that Russia's lethal Akula-class submarine, Viper 157 , stuffed to the gunwales with ship-killing torpedoes, lies in wait for the Royal Navy aircraft carrier, which is transporting the British fighter-bomber air force. The United States, under the indomitable Admiral Arnold Morgan's stern eye, unleashes Navy SEALs to hammer Argentina into submission, and in two breathtaking, clandestine missions, they smash their most expensive hardware—guided-missile warships and an entire fighter aircraft strike group. The SEALs must make a death-defying parachute drop into the freezing ocean, hit the battlefield in total secret, and obliterate their enemy—all in lethal silence . . . a ruthless, terrible attack carried out by a U.S. ghost force. . . . This is classic Patrick Robinson—spine-tingling suspense, harrowing action, and intricately researched detail, all set against the backdrop of an uncanny "what if?" scenario.

Una portaerei classe Nimitz: la Jefferson. Imprendibile con un attacco aereo, inavvicinabile dal mare, inaffondabile da qualsiasi tipo di arma convenzionale, circondata da un muro di aerei da intercettazione, muniti di missili e di un potentissimo sistema radar. In una parola: inespugnabile. Ma il 2 luglio 2002 accade l'incredibile: la Jefferson scompare, colpita da un missile a testata nucleare. Gli Stati Uniti sono in ginocchio. I servizi segreti di tutto il mondo si muovono in ogni direzione. Chi mai ha potuto commettere un atto così audace? E, soprattutto, come può esserci riuscito? La caccia all'uomo ha inizio.

Dopo il crollo dell'URSS, nessuna unità da guerra al mondo è più richiesta dei sottomarini d'attacco classe Kilo, un tempo simbolo della potenza marittima sovietica e il cui vero punto di forza è essere silenziosi come una tomba. Oggi i russi li vendono a chiunque abbia la possibilità di comprarli... costano 300 milioni di dollari l'uno. E mentre nessuno si è preoccupato quando li hanno acquistati la Polonia, la Romania, o anche l'India e persino l'Iran, ora qualcosa è cambiato: nel grande gioco internazionale del riarmo navale è entrato un giocatore nuovo, una nazione che, andando contro i desideri degli Stati Uniti, ha ordinato ai russi dieci sottomarini della classe Kilo. La Cina...

On 5 April 1982, three days after the invasion of the Falkland Islands, British armed forces were ordered to sail 8,000 miles to the South Atlantic unaware of what lay ahead of them or whether they would be committed to war with Argentina. In these engrossing memoirs, Admiral Sandy Woodward, Task Force commander from the aircraft carrier Hermes, takes us from day one to day one hundred of the conflict; from sailing through the waters of the Atlantic with hopes of a political settlement fading, and war becoming increasingly likely, to the repulse of the Argentinian navy and the daring amphibious landing at San Carlos Water. The war, which cost the lives of over 1,000 men, has left a legacy of many historical debates and controversies, from the sinking of ships such as HMS Coventry, HMS Sheffield and Sir Galahad, and the Argentinian cruiser, the Belgrano, to wider issues such as what was it like to command and fight a modern air and naval war, the biggest naval action since World War II? ONE HUNDRED DAYS is unique as a dramatic portrayal of the world of modern naval warfare, where despite the use of sophisticated equipment and communications, the margins for human error and courage were as wide as they were in the days of Nelson.
