mysterious and deadly forces in the universe is to blame: dark
matter, both a limitless source of potential energy and an
unimaginably destructive weapon. Joining forces again with his
trusty sidekick Johnny Wareagle, McCracken races to stop two deadly
enemies who want the dark matter at all costs. A powerful energy
magnate and the leader of a Japanese doomsday cult both seek the
ultimate prize for their own nefarious reasons, and McCracken and
Wareagle's mission to defeat them takes the duo on a nonstop
journey across the world and thousands of years into the past where
the truth lies in the ancient Pandora's Temple, built to safeguard

world is to find the mythical temple. Along the way, he and
Wareagle find themselves up against Mexican drug gangs, killer
robots, an army of professional assassins, and a legendary sea
monster. The hero of nine previous bestselling thrillers, McCracken
is used to the odds being stacked against him, but this time the
stakes have never been higher. This book features an illustrated
biography of Jon Land including rare images from the author's

in the business" (Los Angeles Review of Books). A space shuttle
disappears during a routine repair mission, 180 miles above Earth's
surface. An intelligence operative with a dark secret is murdered,
his car set ablaze, while he is in the middle of fulfilling a
depraved fantasy. And a reporter receives a message from a dying
man that suggests the organization responsible may be one of the
world's most prestigious corporations. The government knows just
one man who can untangle this mystery: a throwaway on the
deactivated list. Exiled to a desk job in Paris for stepping on the
wrong toes, Blaine McCracken is a killer-a ruthless pursuer of
truth who will let no one, friend or enemy, stand in his way when
civilian lives are in danger. McCracken gets results, and his
country needs him now more than ever.

Alexandria, an archaeological team digs deeper than anyone has
before, seeking an ancient power older than the pyramids. What they
unearth is an evil that threatens the whole world. First it targets

pushers who peddle drugs to children are found massacred, ripped
limb from limb without having fired a shot in their own defense.
But the next to die will be ordinary people. An insidious secret
organization, the Tau, attempts to harness the vicious force as
part of a plan for world domination. But Blaine McCracken is on
their trail. The rogue American op has fought the worst men in the
world, and he now faces something the likes of which he has never
imagined.

108. Next, the 115 souls of Daisy, Georgia, done away with using
his hands, a knife, and a silenced machine gun. The FBI considers
him unstoppable, and so they call Jared Kimberlain. The fearsome
retired operative wants nothing to do with it, having gotten his
fill of hunting serial killers years before, when he was nearly
killed capturing a vicious psychopath named Andrew Harrison Leeds.
But now, along with eighty-three other inmates, Leeds has escaped
from the island institution where he was imprisoned. Between him
and Tiny Tim, no soul in America will be safe until Kimberlain
cleans up the mess.

Hunting an old friend's killers, a professor-turned-spook unearths
a conspiracy that threatens every person on Earth An American op is
murdered somewhere in the dusty wastelands of southern Colombia.
His final transmission: a desperate warning that whatever he had
stumbled upon is worth taking seriously. It is called Tantalus, and
in two weeks it will be unleashed on the world. Washington could
dispatch the army, the commandos, or the CIA, but professional
action will only send the men behind Tantalus under deeper cover.
Instead, the State Department chooses Christopher Locke, an old
friend of the deceased. Once the Academy's strongest agent, he's an
unemployed professor with crushing bills, three children, and no
prospects. These are problems the government can solve. All he has
to do is get on a plane-and take his vengeance.
Imprisoned in Nicaragua, an NFL star must escape to the United

His life has always been about football, and that single-minded
dedication was justified when, after he finished setting school
rushing records at Brown, the New York Giants gave him a lucrative
contract to join their crew of bruisers. But more important to him
than football is his sister, and she needs him now. An American
undercover operative masquerading as a journalist in Central
America, Beth has just learned of the Nicaraguan army's plans for
an attack inside the United States, codenamed Operation Thunder
Clap. She invites her brother to visit her, intending to have him

his strength to escape and warn the United States.

out there" (Library Journal). After years of being presumed dead,
Palestine's most feared terrorist emerges from hiding with a plan
for utter domination of the Middle East: the Shaitan Commandment.
With a quartet of the region's deadliest soldiers, he puts into
motion a scheme that spells doom for the Western world. His target
is not Israel, but Israel's protector: the United States. On their
trail is Alabaster, an Israeli special-forces agent whose true
identity is buried under so many layers of deception that not even
the Mossad knows who he really is. But every terrorist has heard of
him, and knows to be afraid. A ruthless investigator with no time
for diplomatic niceties, he may be all that stands between America
and oblivion. From the USA Today-bestselling author of the Blaine
McCracken and Caitlin Strong series, this lightning-paced thriller
showcases Jon Land's talent for "steamroller plots about real
people and powerful, true-to-life issues" (John Lescroart).
Years after hijackers killed his father, an ordinary college
student gets a chance to fight terrorists who have hatched a plan
to destroy the United States A ringing phone awakes Dan Lennigin,
college student, in the middle of the night, and the caller baffles
him with a stream of panicked gibberish. It is a code, meant for
someone else's ears, and it draws Dan inexorably into a tangled
international conspiracy. Minutes after the call, an operative for
antiterrorist agency Lucifer is killed, and his superiors come for
Dan. He is the only one who heard the warning, and now that he
knows what is happening, he can't say no. Ever since his
vacationing father was murdered by hijackers, Dan has dreamed about
taking revenge on the world's terrorists. But this threat is no
fantasy. It has already claimed the lives of several professional
terrorist hunters, and Dan is no professional.

he faces another terrible threat in the form of Reverend Jeremiah
Rule, whose hateful rhetoric has inflamed half the world, resulting
in a series of devastating terrorist attacks. But Rule isn't acting
alone. A shadowy cabal is pulling his strings, unaware that they
are creating a monster who will soon spin free of their control.
Finding himself a wanted man, McCracken must draw on skills and
allies both old and new to get to the heart of a plot aimed at
unleashing no less than the tenth circle of hell. A desperate chase
takes him into the past, where the answers he needs are hidden amid
two of history's greatest puzzles: the lost colony of Roanoke and
the Mary Celeste. As the clock ticks down to an unthinkable
maelstrom, McCracken and his trusty sidekick, Johnny Wareagle, must
save the United States from a war the country didn't know it was
fighting, and that it may well lose. "McCracken's back And I
couldn't be happier. Jon Land's The Tenth Circle is a knockout
thriller blending history, cutting-edge science, and nonstop
action. Ancient mysteries, ghost ships, and a modern threat like no
other . . . this is a novel that grips you by the throat and
refuses to let go until the last page." -James Rollins, New York
Times bestselling author of The Eye of God "Jon Land is one hell of
a writer. His vivid recreations of the past, his characterizations
and his non-stop ticking clock tension had me turning the pages so
fast they were smoldering. I really loved this book." -Peter James,
#1 international bestselling author of the Roy Grace novels
When his estranged son is kidnapped, Blaine McCracken goes to work
for a group of Arab militants to recover the child he never knew
Since he first went behind enemy lines in Vietnam, Blaine McCracken
has faced death on every continent. In the line of fire he is an
iron man, but now he faces a different challenge: fatherhood. His
son, Matt, is thirteen-the unknown product of a long ago tryst.
When the boy's mother dies, McCracken goes to England to meet him.
He finds a son cut in his father's mold: a young athlete determined
to put his body at risk to serve his country. But before Blaine can
explain their relationship, Matt is snatched away, kidnapped by a
band of Arab nationals intent on using McCracken's strength to
serve their own cause. The target? An Israeli weapon that they
claim threatens the entire Arab world. To recover his son,
McCracken must bring the Middle East back from the brink of war.
A mysterious league of elite assassins targets ninety-six of the
most powerful people in America, and Blaine McCracken must stop
them before the murderers bring the country to its knees There are
ninety-six names on the list. They are those of businessmen,
judges, and senators-the nation's wealthiest and most powerful. And
they are all going to die. A man named Takahashi has hired the
world's finest assassins to eliminate these men in secrecy and
style, crossing names off the list without raising any suspicion.
And they are killing ahead of schedule. But someone has noticed the
pattern of these seemingly unrelated deaths, and she knows enough
to call Blaine McCracken. Takahashi didn't consider the rogue
American agent, and that is a grave mistake. His carefully
orchestrated vendetta is just the sort of thing that McCracken
lives to upset. He has made a career teaching lessons to those who
underestimate him, and Takahashi's league of assassins is next.
A killer proves he can penetrate the world's finest security
systems, and an undercover operative must come out of retirement
before the president enters the crosshairs Twenty-five-thousand
dollars a week buys an impressive security system, and America's
billionaires have the best they can get. Round-the-clock guards,
electrical fences, and bulletproof glass protect their mansions-but
they're no longer enough. Three of the nation's most powerful
businessmen have died in seemingly impossible ways: one
electrocuted, one blown up in his sleep, and the third hacked to
death in an impenetrable room. The security service chief contacts
an old special-forces colleague, Jared Kimberlain, who quit the
life when he lost his taste for clandestine ops. He's spent the
last years trying to undo the wrongs he did when he lived without a
conscience. Kimberlain doesn't care about the troubles of
billionaires, but their security was as good the president's-and he
could be next.

of reality In San Diego, a cadre of American scientists toils on a
weapon with  the power to make things flit in and out of
reality. If perfected, Project Vortex will make the atomic bomb

Vortex gives strange powers over other people—powers he can
control, but cannot understand. Second is an air traffic controller

the plane that disappeared. When the controller vanishes, Bane is
alone, staring down the barrel of government conspiracy that has
the nation on the precipice of a third world war.
