No enemy of the United States has escaped the cunning and bravery of Captain Zakkova Ikanovich, a fifteen-year veteran of the US Navy SEALs. After a highly decorated career that includes the killing of Osama Bin Laden, Ikanovich and his 140-pound King Cobra snake retire. But the president of the United States and his advisors are not about to let Ikanovich's skills go unused.

He is hired as a private citizen to undertake black covert operations and eliminate some of the world's worst terrorists and heads of state. Ikanvoich's exploits run the gamut: He blows up Iran's nuclear centrifuges in QomIran, setting back Iran's nuclear warhead ambitions by years. He assassinates Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. He attacks and destroys the Sinaloa cartel's major headquarters and cocaine processing facility. He kills thirty Muslim Brotherhood members who try to invade his home. Throughout his missions, Ikanovich befriends a motorcycle gang and becomes their guardian angel against rival gangs and the police.

For the formidable Ikanovich, no mission seems too dangerous or too difficult as he seeks to protect the United States from evil forces.

"The Lanzis: The Boundless Shades of Life," is the story of the Lanzi family, bursting with reality; painful, beautiful and remorseless. The author, Giancarlo Gabbrielli, takes you to Tuscany and into the period that followed the Great War, during the time of the rise of Fascism and finally into the specter of World War II.

Well-known events are seen through new eyes, in an original and refreshingly appealing way. The story portrays 'real' people as they are seldom characterized in American literature; real, raw and full of emotion. "The Lanzis: The Boundless Shades of Life" chronicles a proud family who resist the pressures of an autocratic Regime. They find love amidst the hatred of a savage world while they endeavor to maintain a healthy, balanced perspective on their friends and their enemies. 'Hold your friends close and your enemies closer' becomes their way of life. This is also the poignant story of a young boy, sexually coming of age, and his innocence set against the backdrop of the war.

Kim Jon Il holds an iron grip over North Korea, and the world can only wonder what the secretive leader is doing within his borders.

The deputy director of the CIA, Bob Wells, intends to discover the truth. He knows that if he doesn't, the world could see an attack similar to 9/11, or even worse. With the country's security at stake, and confidence in the intelligence agency shaken, he can't allow such a disaster.

The only person qualified to find out what the North Koreans are doing is Dr. Jon London, but the former operative turned his back on clandestine assignments two years ago. Now, he shares a quiet life as a university professor with the love of his life, Dr. Kim Lake, who knows nothing about his connection to the CIA.

Suddenly, London finds himself enmeshed in a life he thought he'd left behind. He'll journey all over the world and enter a land that hardly anyone knows anything about in his efforts to thwart disaster in Broken Border.

A cavalcade of the medieval world within two classic novels of historical fiction
Despite his success with his famous fictional detective, Arthur Conan Doyle's first love was the historical novel and in his own estimation he wrote few better than the two collected together in this book. 'Sir Nigel' was actually written after 'The White Company, ' but in the Leonaur edition it appears first since within it the reader is introduced to one of the principal characters of both novels-Sir Nigel Loring. The scene for these adventures is England and France in the 14th Century against a backdrop of The Hundred Years War. Young Nigel in service to his king, Edward III begins his career as a squire. It is the start a 'rites of passage' journey which will include the Black Prince among other notables of the period, skirmishes at sea and ultimately the monumental Battle of Poitiers. 'The White Company' continues Sir Nigel's story as once again he campaigns against the French, this time in company with a new young hero, Alleyne Edricson. As usual this Leonaur edition allows collectors to own these essential novels as a combined set within a single substantial volume available in both soft back and hardcover with dust jacket.
