A spy novel, that addresses contemporary issues of terrorism in a light-hearted and witty manner, in Mrs. Thatcher's England and democratically emerging Turkey

From the time Jeff Kendrick and Joshua Allison Beaumont became roommates at Harlan's Preparatory School in San Francisco, they maintained a roller-coaster-like relationship. Though they followed divergent paths, their lives were bonded by fate.

Each was mutually driven in their quest for military careers, but Beaumont, better known as Jab, flunked the West Point entrance exam and eventually became a pilot for a Central American drug cartel-flying at least ten thousand kilos of drugs out of Panama during the last two years. Jeff Kendrick's life takes a different path-pursuing a notable career in public service as an agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration and later as a college professor.

When Jab refuses to sabotage a plane for the cartel, he fears his life is in danger and flees to the United States. Hoping to save his life, Jab requests the aid of Kendrick, who rejoins the DEA to help decipher the conspiracy. Jab and Kendrick are assisted in the mission by Danielle von Sedvels, a sociologist and expert in Peruvian politics.

The three become irrevocably united as they join forces for a concerted and dangerous action against narco-terrorists bent on attacking US vital interests in the Panama Canal.

In the cold waters off the coast of northwestern Washington, the Cold War rages on. The USS Ohio, a newly refitted Trident ballistic missile submarine based in Bangor, Washington, is a source of great curiosity to the Russian military. If their intelligence is to be believed, the US Navy now possesses the technical ability to render its fleet invisible.

When a scuba diver is killed in the waters that US Coast Guard Commander Matthew Reynolds patrols, Reynolds finds himself caught up in a war of international intrigue. Tanya Andrushyn, a specialist from the US Navy's satellite intelligence operation in Hawaii, is called in to investigate. Just how did the Russians manage to plant deep-water spy buoys in the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca without being spotted?

A group of specialists and their secret team of trained dolphins are also brought in to neutralize the sono-bouys. When one of the dolphins gets trapped on the ocean floor, however, Andrushyn and her team must make an impossible choice: sacrifice the animal and risk detection or risk her own life to rescue it. To even attempt such an operation, they risk disclosing the existence of top-secret underwater breathing-unit technology. She makes her decision ... and soon finds herself in need of rescue.

Andrushyn suspects the sono-buoys are uploading data via satellites, so she and Reynolds try to trick the equipment into sending misinformation instead. The race is on to complete the modifications before their plan is discovered.

Arkady Renko returns in this tense political thriller about what it means to fight for truth and justice in today’s Russia, from one of the undisputed masters of the genre.

When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Volkov – a wealthy Russian businessman and the son of Moscow’s mayor – he knows he has to tread carefully. Maxim Volkov is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem.

Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Alexei Volkov’s murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed.

Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs – but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line.

In September 1976, Viktor Belenko defected to Japan in his MiG-25 Foxbat jet fighter, one of the most well-known defections from the Soviet block. But in that same year, there was another defection so embarrassing to the Soviets that its particulars remained a secret for more than twenty-five years. All media accounts of Soviet TU-95 flights participating in the Okean 76 naval maneuvers mention only two planes. Whenever they were confronted in private, however, the Soviets acknowledged that in reality, "three" planes took off from Russia, with the third aircraft crashing at sea, killing everyone aboard. Since it sank in deep waters, no one attempted to salvage the wreck.

But what the Soviet authorities never acknowledged publicly or privately was that the third TU-95 made a bold and risky flight from the USSR to Canada. Because its crew defected, the Soviets never admitted that such an event happened. "Bear: Flight to Liberty" tells the third crew s thrilling story.

"BEAR" is the product of Vargas-Caba s meticulous research into the Soviet Armed Forces and provides an authenticity few books on the subject can match. His careful marshalling of real-world facts to develop his work of fiction makes "BEAR" an exciting read for anyone who wants to remember how much was at stake during the Cold War.
