River Of Death

In the last desperate hours of Hitler's Reich, two SS officers plot to escape to South America with a fortune in stolen loot. But only one succeeds.

He builds a multimillion dollar empire in Brazil, and no one knows of his Nazi past...except a stranger named Hamilton-a stanger whose wife the German had killed...

San Andreas

A medical ship ferries the wounded across the stormy North Sea. Above and below it hovers an attack force of Luftwaffe and U-boats. In its quarters lurks a treacherous saboteur. And in its hold lies an astounding secret that could turn the San Andreas into a floating catacomb.

Santorini

An eighty-foot yacht suddenly capsizes in the Aegean, leaving only six survivors. Then, minutes later, in the same area, an unidentified four-engine jet crashes into the sea. Are these twin disasters related by more than the uncanny conjunctions of time and space?

Commander Talbot and the crew of the HMS ARIADNE, a NATO spyship, are assigned to retrieve from the ocean floor the jet's volatile cargo: atomic and hydrogen weaponry with the force to destroy millions. As the delicate operation proceeds, Talbot finds himself trapped in a whirl of nightmarish events involving terrorism and drugs-and a diabolic plot that leads straight to the Pentagon.

The Satan Bug

To the outside world, the Mordon Labs existed solely for experiments in preventive medicine...but in reality they were secret laboratories for the development of germ warfare. The most carefully hidden secret was the Satan Bug-a strain of toxin so deadly that the release of one teaspoon could annihilate mankind.

Late one night, the Mordon security officer was found murdered outside that lab.

And the
Satan Bug
was missing...

Seawitch

There were ten of them. Oil magnates. All in a secret meeting to plot the destruction of Lord Worth, England's famous oil billionaire.

They hired the notorious trouble shooter, Cronkite-violent, ruthless, deadly. Cronkite was not above using nuclear weapons. The target: Seawitch. Lord Worth's massive ocean oil rig.

But Lord Worth had a few tricks of his own. The most deadly being two crackerjack private investigators who just happened to be in love with Lord Worth's daughters.

So when Cronkite decided his first move was to kidnap the girls he was unaware that he had made a very dangerous mistake...

The Secret Ways

Winters are silent in Budapest, silent and dark, and behind some door in some ancient street Harold Jennings, the brilliant British scientist, sat rehearsing a speech denouncing his own country.

The Communists intended to use Jennings' speech as the propoganda coup of the decade. The British were equally determined that it should never be delivered.

Michael Reynolds, Britain's top agent, was given the impossible assignment-enter Hungary, kidnap dr. Jennings and return him to the free world; and this, Reynolds decided, was roughly like trying to find an invisible needle in a burning haystack.

South By Java Head

February, 1942...

Singapore lay burning and shattered, defenseless before the conquering hordes of Japanese, as the last boat slipped out of the harbor into the South China Sea. On board were a desperate group of people, each with a secret to guard, each willing to kill to keep that secret safe. Who or what was the dissolute Englishman, Farnholme? The elegant Dutch planter, Van Effen? The strangely beautiful Eurasian girl, Gurdun? The slave trader, Siran? The smiling and silent Nicholson who was never without his gun?

Only one thing was certain: the rotting tramp steamer was a floating death trap, carrying a cargo of human TNT.

The Way To Dusty Death

In his newest thriller, about the violent, high-powered world of racing, Alistair MacLean unfolds the story of a champion on the skids.

They told Johnny Harlow that he was responsible for the accident which had killed his friend and crippled the girl he loved. All the evidence pointed to his guilt: the empty bottles of booze in his room, his mysterious disappearances, his shakiness at the track. "He's a has-been," they said. "A lunatic, a killer, a drunk."

Was Johnny what they said? Or was he playing a very special role in a very dangerous game?
