Maier follows Julia's trail to the Laotian capital Vientiane, where he learns different parties, including his missing client, are searching for a legendary CIA file crammed with Cold War secrets.

On his last day before retirement, James Stanson, donning his grandfather's antique diving suit, floated below a Pacific iceberg, extracting ice samples for scientific research. With his oxygen hose attached to the diving vessel, James instructed the submarine pilot to back closer to ice . . . but then something went terribly wrong. The submarine collided into the bottom of the iceberg, sending the ship into a plummet to the ocean floor, with James dragging behind. After a nightmarish decent through the black abyss, James counted down his last seconds of life, until he saw a red light glowing in the depths. By supernatural means, or plain luck, James survived the crash and found a strange ship on the sea floor, with a red light pulsating above a windowed-door. James scrambled to the door with his last breath, found a way in, and discovered a mystery that would shape his life forever. From a breathtaking ascent to the surface, to a heart-warming story of sacrifice and friendship; James must find out what it means to become a true Golden Man.

Martin Prince Dutiful has been rescued from his Piebald kidnappers and the court has resumed its normal rhythms. There FitzChivalry Farseer, gutted by the loss of his wolf bondmate, must take up residence at Buckkeep as a journeyman assassin. Posing as a bodyguard, Fitz becomes the eyes and ears behind the walls, guiding a kingdom straying closer to civil strife each day.
