Forced to cope with her claustrophobia and to use all the skills she has developed above ground, park ranger Anna Pigeon enters the dangerous Lechuguilla Cavern in New Mexico's Carlsbad Cavern National Park to attempt a rescue and learns who she can trust and who can be saved.
Their breathtaking showdown in The Eagle Has Landed established Jack Higgins as the undisputed master of the World War II spy thriller. Now IRA gunman Liam Devlin and fallen German assassin Kurt Steiner are back - joining forces to attempt the most daring coup of the war against a target at the very highest levels of the Third Reich... From the depths of London's underworld to the war rooms of Berlin, Jack Higgins sweeps us back to the dangerous world of The Eagle Has Landed for the story that millions have waited for...a tale of ambiguious alliances, nonstop action and heart-stopping suspense that only Jack Higgins could tell.
The book makes use of the false document technique, and opens with Higgins describing his discovery of the grave of thirteen German paratroopers in an English graveyard. What follows was inspired by the real life rescue of Hitler's ally Benito Mussolini by Otto Skorzeny, a similar idea is considered by Hitler, with the strong support of Himmler. Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr (German military intelligence), is ordered to make a feasibility study of the seemingly impossible task of capturing British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and bringing him to the Reich.

Voyagers II: The Alien Within - Ben Bova (Audiobook, MP3)
When Keith Stoner awoke, he found himself in a world changed almost beyond recognition. Eighteen years before, Stoner had been the American member of a joint U.S.-Soviet mission to capture an alien ship. The Soviets had to pull out, but Stoner persisted, and while on the strange ship, he fell into suspended animation. Jo Camerata, the ambitious young student who fell in love with Stoner, is now head of Vanguard Industries, which has recovered the alien ship. As a result, her company is now in control of its vast new technology and the fortune it reaps - and in control of Keith Stoner.
