Tom Duncan-Callsign: Deep Blue, former Army ranger, former
president of the United States and handler of the black ops force
known as Chess Team, is visiting the team's new secret
headquarters. The underground facility, known as Alpha, once
belonged to Manifold Genetics, a corrupt corporation shut down by
Chess Team. But despite being abandoned for years, Alpha still
hides secrets. Security doors slam shut and lock, sealing Duncan
and his assistants inside. As Matt Carrack, the leader of Duncan's
security team, attempts to gain access, Duncan discovers they are
not alone inside the abandoned facility. High tech intruders have
infiltrated the base, their goal unknown. But a far greater threat
rises from the subterranean depths beneath Alpha-failed
regenerative experiments from the days of Manifold, and they're
fast, hostile and hungry. While the security team are beset by
ingenious death traps, determined mercenaries and vicious creatures
that defy their imaginations, Duncan and his personal bodyguard
must battle the growing tide of creatures, stave off the incursion
of enemy forces and prevent the violent intruders from releasing
the horror currently contained inside Alpha, to an unsuspecting
outside world. And as the battle rages, a bomb quietly counts down
in the shadows.

Jack Sigler, Callsign: King, field leader for a black ops
organization known as Endgame, is accustomed to feeling capable of
handling most any situation. It is a confidence forged in the fires
of battle against both monsters and madmen. But the introduction of
Asya, a sister he never knew existed, and the kidnapping of his
parents has him reeling. Using Endgame's resources, King and his
"Chess Team" (Queen, Rook, Bishop and Knight) scour the planet for
his parents, tracking a man known to the world as Alexander
Diotrephes, but known to King by another name. The legendary
Hercules is alive, well and plotting something beyond
imagining-something that will affect two thousand years of history.
While the team is spread thin, an intruder walks past their secret
headquarters' defenses, sits himself down in the director's chair
and waits. When he's discovered by Endgame's coordinator, Tom
Duncan, Callsign: Deep Blue, he's easy to identify-Richard Ridley,
the team's oldest and most dangerous enemy, who is supposed to be
dead. But he isn't Ridley. He is a clone in search of his master,
the real Ridley, who yet lives and is being held captive by the
same man holding King's parents. Believing Ridley is the only one
capable of stopping Alexander's plans, a temporary and tenuous
alliance is formed, and Alexander's location is soon uncovered. The
team, along with three clones, heads for a citadel buried beneath
the ruins of ancient Carthage. Already in the area, King and Asya
arrive first to find their parents and a staggering family secret
that leads to the end of King's life as he knows it. The rest of
the team arrives to find Richard Ridley free to act, an army of
high-tech mercenaries bearing down on their location and evidence
of their leader's demise. King is dead. Long live King.
For too long, evil has slumbered. But now, the prince of darkness
has arisen...and he thirsts. THE CRYPT OF DRACULA In 1899, master
stone craftsman Andreas Wagner takes a job restoring an old castle
in the rural mountains of Hungary. He and his mute young wife are
hoping to find a new life, after the traumatic death of their
infant daughter from a strange wasting disease in Munich. The
eccentric Count who owns the castle, a suave but distant man, keeps
strange hours. Still, Wagner settles in to the work nicely. But
then strange things start to happen in the remote castle on the
cliff. The Count's manservant is alternately elusive or
confrontational. The locals are secretive and suspicious. Wagner is
nearly killed by inexplicable falling masonry. A giant bat attacks
his companions. Ghostly apparitions of women with claws and fangs
prowl the halls of the gloomy castle late at night. When his friend
falls ill from the same disease his daughter died of, Wagner
decides it's time to leave and look for a doctor, even if it means
abandoning gainful employment. But Count Dracula and his minions
have other plans. For Wagner, what began as a simple job, soon
becomes a frantic battle for survival and a race against the
setting sun to rescue his wife and stop the spread of an ancient
evil. "All the hallmarks of a great 1970s classic creature flick
are here: spooky castle, the gentleman creature of the night, and
harried villagers poised to grab pitchforks and torches. Gilmour
brings Dracula back, with a dash of 21st century adventure and a
twist you won't see coming." -Jeremy Bishop, #1 bestselling horror
author of Torment and The Sentinel

In the 1850s, a madman proclaims himself the Son of God and raises
an army, taking over half of China. A century and a half later, his
descendent and legions of devoted followers plan to take over more
than just China. When alpine engineer and mountaineer Jason Quinn,
a man with a past mired in tragedy and violence, meets archeologist
Dr. Eva Rayjek after a plane crash in the high Himalaya, neither of
them are expecting wave after wave of Chinese assassins. Pursued to
America, the frozen ice of the Gulf of Finland, and the heights of
Hong Kong, Quinn and Eva connect her investigations with the
machinations of charismatic shipping magnate and cathedral-builder,
David Hong. As a scheme to obtain a private audience with the Pope
at the Vatican comes to fruition, Hong's fanatical followers are
preparing for global warfare. If Quinn fails to stop Hong's plan,
the entire Catholic Church just might crumble. RESURRECT is the
first book in the Jason Quinn series. Fans of Matthew Reilly,
Jeremy Robinson, James Rollins, and Clive Cussler should all enjoy
this first adventure in the exploits of mountaineer Jason Quinn.
PRAISE FOR GILMOUR: "RESURRECT by Kane Gilmour is a smart, taut
thriller that takes the genre forged by Clive Cussler and makes it
fresh again. The combination of history, conspiracy and explosive
action makes the book impossible to put down. Highly recommended "
-Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of INSTINCT and THRESHOLD
