The Master Sniper
With a sniper's rifle he has calmly executed hundreds of enemy soldiers
in a single battle, and gunned down thousands of innocent civilians in a
single day, waiting patiently for the barrel of his gun to cool before
resuming his craft...
It is the spring of 1945. And Repp, the master sniper, is about to carry
out his final mission - even as Germany's enemies overrun it, even while
a tired, disorganized team of American and British agents tries
everything in its power to stop him. Because for Repp, this is the job
at which he cannot fail. For this time, he possesses the ultimate
killing tool. And with it, he will commit the ultimate crime...

The Second Saladin
A second chance...
In the windswept sands of the Middle East, Paul Chardy fought side by
side with Ulu Beg: one, a charismatic, high-strung CIA covert warrior,
the other a ferocious freedom fighter. Then Chardy fell into the hands
of the enemy, and Beg was betrayed. Now the two men are about to meet
again.
A second gun....
Beg has come over the Mexican border under a hail of bullets--determined
to assassinate a leading American political figure and avenge his
people's betrayal. The CIA wants Chardy to stop the hit. Chardy wants to
save Beg's life.
Between the two men is a tragic past, a failed mission, and a woman who
knew them in war--and who knows their secrets now. Around both men is a
conspiracy of lies and violence that reaches back to the Cold War. But
as Beg moves in for his kill and as Chardy breaks loose from his
handlers, a terrible truth begins to emerge: somewhere, someone wants
both men to die.
