DOWNLOAD EBOOKDirector Wolfe brings Laynie safely "in from the cold," but she will remain free only if she meets his specified conditions: She must accept the new identity he gives her, and she must meet with an agency "shrink" to address the emotional damage caused by her years undercover-a counselor who will evaluate her fitness to participate in Wolfe's secret task force. Furthermore, she must remain in Wolfe's witness protection program, a program that will keep her hidden from those who continue to hunt her. Sadly, it will also restrict her freedom.But nothing goes as Laynie had hoped or anticipated: The restrictions chafe and bind, she feels like a square peg being pounded into a round hole, and her clashes with the bureaucratic culture send her spiraling downward. And in the background? Dark forces are moving, pushing Laynie into untenable choices. Instead of proving her value to Director Wolfe's satisfaction, Laynie fears her actions will further brand her as the faithless renegade some already believe her to be.Laynie must fight to earn her place on the task force-even as events unfold that point to one conclusion: Wolfe's task force, birthed in agency secrecy, has a leak . . . one that threatens them all.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNo one is born a spy. Every "righteous" clandestine operative is recruited, through one means or another, and trained for the difficult and often terrible work intended to ensure that the principles of freedom triumph over ideologies that seek to dominate and enslave. The year is 1977; the Cold War is intensifying. Helena Portland-Laynie to her family-is set to graduate from the University of Washington, when recruiters from Marstead International invite her to dinner and an informal employment interview. Laynie is flattered: Marstead International is a technology and aeronautics firm with a global presence and reputation. But behind their corporate image? Marstead is a front for joint U.S./NATO covert operations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLaynie, Tobin, and Jaz narrowly escape the hit squad sent by the Ukrainian mob-the third attempt to kill members of Director Wolfe's staff. Whatever the task force does and wherever its people go, the enemy is right there, always one step ahead. Wolfe admits that his organization has been compromised-that a mole within his staff is feeding information to the Chechen separatist group All Glorious for Allah. Before their enemy can strike again, Wolfe orders the task force members to immediately abandon their homes and the team's headquarters for safer grounds. The task force, with Laynie leading it, has just reestablished itself within the protective walls of Broadsword when Wolfe receives a coded letter from Cossack, his deep-cover asset in Chechnya. In the letter, Cossack reveals that he has knowledge of a large and significant terror attack scheduled for New Year's Eve. He also alludes to the leak in Wolfe's organization and his fear that passing details of the attack through normal channels will blow his precarious cover. Cossack insists on passing intel on the impending attack to the one person he feels he can trust, the operative who foiled the assassination attempt on Vassili Aleksandrovich Petroff, Russian envoy to the UN. Cossack's demand sends Laynie halfway around the world to a covert meeting in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia. It sends her to her death. The fourth volume in the Laynie Portland series is so harrowing, you'll need to step away and restart your heart.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMy name is Gemma Keyes.Other than my name, I am utterly forgettable-so those who never paid much attention to me in the first place haven't exactly noticed that I've disappeared. Vanished. Oh, it's much more complicated than it sounds. And let me tell you, "invisibility comes with its own set of problems." I should tell you about Dr. Samuel Bickel, world-renowned nanophysicist. We used to work together, but I'll be candid with you: "He's supposed to be dead." Well, he's "not." (Imagine my surprise.) Instead of the proverbial "six feet under," he's subsisting in an abandoned devolution cavern beneath the old Manzano Weapons Storage Facility on Kirtland Air Force Base here in Albuquerque. "I need to show you what I'm protecting here, Gemma," he insisted. I stared into the clear glass case. I could hear . . . humming, clicking, buzzing. A faint haze inside the box shifted. Dissolved. Came back together. It reminded me of how mercury, when released on a plate, will flow and form new shapes. Only this, this "thing" was "flowing and forming" "in midair." "Do you see them?" Dr. Bickel asked. "Them?" I was confused. My mouth opened to a stunned "o" as the silver haze resolved into blue letters. H E L L O Dr. Bickel hadn't pressed any buttons. Hadn't said anything to them. Hadn't gestured. He grinned. "Ah. They've noticed you. They know they haven't seen you before." "Well, I wish they "wouldn't" notice me!" And I need to warn you about General Cushing. The rank and name likely conjure images of a lean but muscled old soldier, posture rigid, face cemented in unyielding lines, iron-gray hair cut high and tight. "Let me disabuse you of that impression." General Imogene Cushing is short and a tiny bit plump. "She" wears her silvered hair in an elegant braid knotted at the nape of her neck, and she knows how to smile sweetly. "With the deadliest of sharks.." You wouldn't suspect a two-star general, "an Air Force O-8," of being a traitor, would you? Nanostealth "Stealthy Steps" "Stealth Power," 2016 "Stealth Beyond Borders," 2017
