THE ART OF WAR
The Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles. As its military begins to
prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and
scheming to seize natural resources, the United States goes on high
alert. But a far more ominous danger lurks closer to home: A Chinese
sleeper cell has planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk,
Virginia, site of the biggest naval base on the planet. The target: a
secret rendezvous of the Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their
battle groups. When the CIA director is assassinated and Jake Grafton is
appointed to take his place, Jake gets wind of the conspiracy but has no
idea when or where the attack will occur. In the meantime, a series of
assassinations, including an attempt on the life of the president, shake
the country and deliberately mask a far more sinister objective. Can
Jake Grafton and his right-hand man, Tommy Carmellini, stop the plot to
destroy the U.S. Navy?
LIBERTY'S LAST STAND
With the nation in shock over the latest Islamist outrage, the president
imposes martial law, cancels the imminent presidential election, and
suspends the Constitution. In response, Texas secedes--and what follows
is the bloodiest, most harrowing internal insurrection since the Civil
War. In the center of the action are former CIA director Admiral Jake
Grafton and former CIA operative Tommy Carmellini with a mission unlike
any they've had before: save the country from its own president. With
the country in flames, riots in the cities, and America's armed forces
pitted against each other, the American people are confronted with the
ultimate political question: Who are we, what do we stand for, and what
are we prepared to do about it? Violent and shocking, pulse-racing in
its intensity, with drama ripped from today's headlines, Liberty's Last
Stand is a thriller like no other.
