Great Expectations

I Spy

  1. The Disciple
    Coonts, Stephen
    Iran is weeks away from acquiring nuclear weapons and has every intention of using them to strike first- only Tommy Carmellini and Jake Grafton can stop a nuclear nightmare. Iran is much closer to having operational nuclear weapons than the CIA believes, and Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has a plan. Iran will become a martyr nation, and Ahmadinejad will lead the united Muslims of the world in a holy war against the non-believers. But the Americans have a secret weapon in a group of Iranian dissidents. Coonts weaves an unforgettable tale of men and women at war, with the sort of dramatic military action and undercover technology for which Coonts is known.

  2. Pursuit of Honor
    Flynn, Vince
    Mitch Rapp comes up against a new and deadly enemy when he is unofficially ordered to find three terrorists by any means necessary. They've attacked Washington D.C., killing 185 and wounding hundreds. So far, however, his investigation has been painfully complicated and has yet to yield a single solid lead--and the last thing Rapp expected was to be in New York City to decide the fate of a man that could be his cover.

  3. The Afghan
    Forsyth, Frederick
    The threat of a catastrophic assault on the West, discovered on a senior al-Qaeda member's computer, compels the leaders of the U.S. and the U.K. to attempt a desperate gambit-to substitute a seasoned British operative, Col. Mike Martin, for an Afghan Taliban commander being held prisoner at Guantánamo Bay and then arrange Martin's release into Afghan custody. Martin must maintain his cover under the closest scrutiny, even as the details of the planned outrage are kept beyond his reach. Despite the choice to have Porter Goss as CIA director at the end of 2006 and some nick-of-time Hollywood heroics, Forsyth convincingly conjures up the world of counterterrorism and offers an all-too plausible terrorist plot.

  4. The Human Factor
    Greene, Graham
    One of Greene's most stunning works, which centers on Maurice Castle, a bureaucrat in the British intelligence service, who pays a debt with the ultimate betrayal of his country.

  5. Lustrum
    Harris, Robert
    It's Rome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven men are struggling for power. Cicero is consul, Caesar his ruthless young rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, and Clodius is an ambitious playboy. The stories of these real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions, their brilliance and their crimes - are all interleaved to form this epic novel.

  6. Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Deception
    Lustbader, Eric
    Badly injured in an ambush possibly orchestrated by the mysterious Arkadin, Jason Bourne fakes his death and assumes a new identity while endeavoring to assist another team's investigation into a missile attack that resulted in a passenger plane crash.

  7. Last Supper: a novel
    McCarry, Charles
    On a rainy night in Paris, Paul Christopher's lover Molly Benson falls victim to a vehicular homicide minutes after Christopher boards a jet bound for Vietnam. To explain this seemingly senseless murder, The Last Supper takes its readers back not only to the earliest days of Christopher's life, but also to the origins of the CIA in the clandestine operations of the OSS during World War II.. McCarry creates an intimate history of the shadow-world of deceit and betrayal that penetrates the psyches of the men and women who live within it.

  8. The Last Oracle
    Rollins, James
    SIGMA Force battles the JASONS, a group of rogue scientists attempting to achieve global domination by bio-engineering the next great world prophet. Their experimental subjects are autistic children who show savant talents. But the experiments go awry and the children turn into something far more frightening.

  9. Phantom Prey
    Sandford, John
    Investigator Lucas Davenport is confronted by a series of baffling murders, each involving the death of someone deeply involved in the Goth subculture.

  10. The Defector
    Silva, Daniel
    Gabriel Allon learns of the disappearance of a suspected double agent who recently saved his life, a situation for which British intelligence blames Allon, due to his enabling the man's alleged activities.
