Stephen Coonts' Deep Black: Biowar

Stephen Coonts' Deep Black: Biowar

by Jim DeFelice (Author), Stephen Coonts (Author)

Synopsis

Just days before an international medical convention begins, terrorists abduct a leading scientist from the shadowy laboratories that serve as America's first line of defence against bio-chemical annihilation. Locked away in his head are secrets critical to America's security...and possibly knowledge of a new, terrifying, and incurable illness that could wipe out millions. Only one government agency has the know-how, the equipment, and the sheer guts to find out what happened before apocalyptic plague consumes the world's democracies: the National Security Agency. Returning from the first DEEP BLACK, ex-Marine sniper Charlie Dean pairs with former Delta Force trooper Lia DeFrancesca to pick up where the missing scientist left off, with Dean actually assuming his identity and faking his way through the conference. From there, mysterious contacts direct them through a gauntlet of assassins and booby-trapped villas, to a ruthless international consortium determined to hold the world hostage with the killer virus.

The action moves swiftly to its Hollywood ending. - Publishers Weekly

THE TRAITOR In bestseller Coonts's assured new international thriller, Tommy Carmellini, the sardonic, laid-back CIA agent who became a star in 2004's Liars and Thieves gets a shot at the big time.

Vintage Coonts...plenty of action and intrigue, with the added benefit of a new lead character.
- Dallas Morning News Excellent. - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

LIBERTY

Frighteningly realistic. - Maxim

Gripping...Coonts's naval background and his legal education bring considerable authority to the story, and the narrative is loaded with detailed information about terrorist networks, modern weaponry, and international intrigue...the action is slam-bang. - Publishers Weekly
