State of the Union
Brad Thor
America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality. The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat. With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president of the United States calls upon America’s only hope, Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent Scot Harvath. With the fragile peace between the world’s nations shattered, Harvath must unravel a brilliantly orchestrated, fiendishly timed conspiracy intent upon bringing the United States to its knees. Teamed with beautiful Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath races from the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., to the streets of Berlin, the coast of Finland, and into the heart of Mother Russia herself before returning home for a final showdown with an enemy from America’s past more sinister and deadly than has ever been seen before.

Sheila Kohler
"Set in a remote corner of South Africa in the early 1960s, Cracks is a story of young girls caught up in a drama of passion, longing, and identity."--BOOK JACKET. "Fiamma Coronna, a foreign student out walking the grounds of her boarding school, disappears one day into the heat and dust of the Transvaal. Forty years later, her schoolmates gather at the invitation of the aged headmistress to save the school from a developer's bulldozer. They had been memebers of the school's swim team, each completely devoted to their coach, Miss G., a powerfully attractive, charismatic woman who was their first crush, their "crack." Now middle-aged, each of these women - whether accomplished or frustrated, voluble or silent - remembers the events leading to Fiamma's disappearance."--BOOK JACKET. "Through image and emotion, recollection and observation, the women relive the horror of a long-buried secret."--BOOK JACKET.
