FEAR IS THE KEY

A sunken DC-3 lying on the Caribbean floor. Its cargo, ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold ingots, emeralds and uncut diamonds, is guarded by the remains of two men, one woman and a very small boy. The fortune was there for the taking, and ready to grab it were a blue-blooded oilman with his own offshore rig, a gangster so cold and independent that even the Mafia couldn’t do business with him and a psychopathic hired assassin. Against them stood one man, and those were his people, those skeletons in their watery coffin. His name was Talbot, and he would bury his dead – but only after he had avenged their murders.

FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE

The guns of Navarone have been silenced, but the heroic survivors have no time to rest on their laurels. Keith Mallory, Andrea and Dusty Miller are parachuting into war-torn Yugoslavia to rescue a division of Partisans … and to fulfil a secret mission so deadly that it must be hidden from their own allies.

NIGHT WITHOUT END
