Rick Foster arrives in San Salvador on the trail of Ernst Borstadt, a fugitive Nazi war criminal responsible for thousands of deaths, only to have his quarry slip through his fingers at a bullfight where violence erupts in the crowd. With a stabbed man bearing concentration camp tattoos and a bullet meant for him finding their way into custody, Rick seizes a crucial lead—but Borstadt, cornered and desperate, is already plotting his escape from the country. As the net tightens, Rick races against time to track down the fugitive before he vanishes for good.

The Black Avengers

During the summer of 1944, a mysterious Japanese balloon bomb lands in an Oregon meadow near a secret atomic research station—and what the military discovers inside will change everything. Months after the war ends, a scarred and vengeful Colonel Hakashi emerges from hiding to lead a shadowy organization called the Black Avengers, determined to strike back at America with stolen war secrets. When an American intelligence agent named Steve uncovers their plot, he must race to stop Hakashi and his operatives before they can launch their revenge campaign.

Belle Boyd, Confederate Spy
4 pp

During the Federal occupation of Martinsburg, a young woman named Belle Boyd transforms herself into a Confederate spy, eavesdropping on Union officers' war plans and risking her life to slip intelligence through enemy lines. From stealing military secrets to warning generals of impending attacks, Belle uses her wits and courage to serve the Southern cause—even when bullets fly and discovery means capture. Her daring missions prove so valuable that General Jackson himself sends her a letter of gratitude that she treasures for the rest of her life.

And the Rocket's Death Glare...!
10 pp

When a U.S. counter-intelligence agent stumbles upon a hidden underwater installation in the Florida Straits, he's captured by forces working for General Garcia Nellone, a Latin-American dictator with a devastating scheme: seize America's atomic rockets and use them to devastate major U.S. cities under cover of orchestrated weather chaos. Now identified as Stuart Blake, the agent must uncover the full scope of Nellone's plot and find a way to stop the attack before the rocket's death glare consumes the nation.
