After losing his son in the September 11 attacks, wealthy industrialist Joseph Simpson forms the Intervention Force (IFOR) -- a surgical strike team led by former Navy SEAL Garrett Walker. Officially, the group is a rogue operation with no government affiliation. But when the impossible becomes absolutely necessary, IFOR is... THE MERCENARY OPTION Shortly after the terror attacks on America, the American president announces the construction of an oil pipeline across Afghanistan. To stop this, and deter further Western encroachment in Central Asia, a vindictive Saudi prince retains ex-KGB terror broker Pavel Zelinkow -- a prime mover behind al Qaeda's 9/11 attack. Zelinkow plans to steal two nuclear weapons, detonating one of them among the pipeline construction crews and their military guardians, while the target of the second bomb is a mystery. U.S. special operations forces cannot be used against the terrorists hiding in Iran, so IFOR is called into action for the first time on a mission that will test them to their limits: take out the terrorists, recover the nukes, and get Zelinkow -- dead or alive.

From new Australian author R Díaz, the first book in the Amarant series: Steve wished the chinkasqa would die, wished he could help Juana, and Tamya. Golden trails moved along the surface of his body, swarming along the enemy blade. The chinkasqa released the weapon in alarm, and there was an explosion as the blade disintegrated into a powdery ash. Steve focused again, lifted one hand off his own blade and reached out. Golden trails of dark energy streamed down his arm and started to cross the intervening space between him and the chinkasqa. Steve had not seen any of this coming. He had been hiking high in the Andes with Juana, some Germans, Brits and Kiwis, but that seemed like a lifetime ago. A group of four yachaq warriors had risked their lives reaching out across the void between stars. Steve and Juana had been pulled through a vortex and plunged headlong into a titanic struggle between Light and Shadow.

He was done with royal life years ago. One problem… it’s not done with him. Exiled prince turned mercenary, Fin, wants nothing more than to spend his days drinking, fighting and trying to persuade his beautiful crewmate, Red, into his bed. When a summons arrives from his home planet of Navarr, his secret is out. He’s not just any prince, he’s the heir to the throne. He must return home to pay his respects and fight for his crown. But once Warborne, always Warborne, and his crew won’t let him go into a dangerous situation without back up. Just one problem… for Red and Sparky to set foot on Navarr, he has to marry them. As his spouses though, they become prime targets. Can Fin keep them safe and claim his birthright against a dangerous rival, or will he have to choose between them? Fool her once, shame on you. Fool her twice, and this girl bites! Red has everything she needs. A home on the mercenary ship, the Sprite, and her crew mates in place of the family who rejected her before she was born. She doesn’t need anything else. Especially not the handsome but arrogant Navarr princeling, Fin, or the equally handsome but utterly insane human, Sparky. But then the proverbial hits the fan and Fin must return home, there’s no way she’ll let the two of them go alone. They’d only get themselves killed, or worse… What’s a girl to do but pick up her blasters and hope she doesn’t lose her heart in the process? He’s spent a lifetime fighting. Now he just wants someone to call home… preferably two someones… Jayce Allen—Sparky to most—has more than a screw loose. In fact, he’s probably got a whole boxful somewhere, a fact his superiors knew when they hung him out to dry in one of humanity’s worst max-security prisons. Since breaking himself out, he’s made a new life for himself amongst the dangerous alien crew of the Warborne. If pushed, he’d say it was all in the interests of furthering alien-human relations, but really the only two aliens he’s interested in are so far into each other that he doubts they know he exists… But when a dangerous mission means he needs to marry them both, he can’t resist. He’ll take whatever they’re prepared to offer him. And if he gets burned… so be it.
