Description—Dogs of War “Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war.” —William Shakespeare, Act 3, Scene 1, Julius Caesar They’re here. In America. Thousands of Islamic terrorists committed to a rabid jihad that ends only when they’ve butchered the last man, woman, and child. Worst of all, they have nukes. The Day of Jihad is at hand. The odds of Western civilization being snuffed out grow stronger each day. Compounding the threat, the Chinese are solidifying their grasp throughout Asia, while behind the scenes they sponsor the Islamic terrorists. Once an ineffective and weakening America crumbles, the Chinese are ready to extend their dominion over the entire planet. The Russian president is strengthening his grip on Europe and in the Middle East. Cyberwarfare is ramping up from Beijing to Moscow to Pyongyang to Tehran. And AGU—the Alliance for Global Unity is orchestrating it all. Only the shadow government known as the Society of Adam Smith, or SAS, may be capable of dealing with this threat. And it desperately needs the skills possessed only by that deadliest of hunter-killer teams, the Sleeping Dogs, including their newest member, an Australian. With his rogue brother, the monstrous Maksym, intent on killing his family, can Brendan Whelan reunite the Dogs in time? Heart pounding, non-stop action pulls the reader around the globe from one crisis spot to the next as Western civilization faces its worst onslaught in history. Description—A Deadlier Breed “Maybe Homo sapiens isn’t the final step in human evolution.” The Chinese believe world domination is their destiny. To cripple the West, they’ve armed Islamic terrorists with tactical nuclear weapons. One already has been used to destroy the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the surrounding town. The terrorists have moved the remaining weapons to a point just across the border in Mexico and plan to smuggle them into major American cities within days. To avoid the widespread panic that public knowledge of the situation would cause, the president of the United States turns to a secretive paramilitary group known as the Sleeping Dogs. Its members share a rare genetic attribute that makes them the world’s deadliest hunter-killer black ops team. They also are highly dysfunctional. Their leader, Brendan Whelan, has a marital crisis on his hands. Their handler, Cliff Levell, is being held incommunicado in jail for contempt of a grand jury. And a traitor within the administration is leaking vital security information to a treacherous entity supporting the terrorists. Compounding the threat, that entity has recruited a group of killers with the same rare genetic attribute as the members of the Sleeping Dogs. Their purpose is to eliminate the Dogs. Time is critical and Whelan and the Sleeping Dogs face their most dangerous challenge yet.

THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE WINSLOW BREED SERIES—THE PREQUEL TO THE FAMED HOUSE OF WINSLOW BREED SERIES! Brandon Winslow would rather gamble and frequent taverns than attend church. So how does he find himself at the forefront of the resistance to Bloody Mary’s attempt to eliminate—at sword’s point, if need be—the Protestant faith? During the reign of Mary I of England—"Bloody Mary"—young Brandon Winslow (son of Stuart, protagonist of Honor in the Dust, the first book in the Winslow Breed series) finds himself in dire straits. After being flogged and then drummed out of the military for seducing the wife of his commanding officer, he sinks into a life of gambling and petty fraud along with Lupa, the fair gypsy woman who nursed him back to health. After Mary weds Prince Philip of Spain, she begins to work in earnest to establish Catholicism as the only faith in England—and to execute Protestants. When Brandon sees several people burned at the stake in London for their faith, the experience changes him: Even though he has been only a nominal member of the Church of England, he finds himself compelled to stop those responsible for these outrages—and to do so before his uncle Quentin, a pastor, is himself burned at the stake. Unfortunately, the only way to save Quentin and so many others is to make Princess Elizabeth (who is herself in danger of dying at Mary’s hand) queen. And that, of course, would be treason. Punishable by death. But then, Brandon has always been a gambler . . .

DELIVERED FROM THE DARKNESS, A WOMAN FINDS HERSELF PLUNGED INTO A PASSION THAT IS DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT. At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of a wealthy family. Her world changed in an instant when she was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire Dragos. After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as well—the one thing that gave her hope during her imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now that she is free. Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once Dragos’s most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the Order, and he’s hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire, Hunter will have to decide how far he’ll go to end Dragos’s reign of evil—even if carrying out his mission means shattering Corinne’s tender heart.
