Storm Over Swat
8 pp · Spy

Hugh Anderson, a new counter-intelligence agent, intercepts a cryptic Soviet message about "Operation Babe Ruth" and connects it to the kidnapping of Dr. Jonathan Brand, the world's leading rain-making expert, and his daughter Ellen. Deducing that the Communists plan to weaponize artificial rain-making in the remote kingdom of Swat to trigger catastrophic floods across India and Pakistan, Anderson commandeers a vintage warplane and races to stop them before their scheme can unfold.

Blowup in the Bering Sea
9 pp · Spy

When U.S. counter-espionage agent Ken Satterlee arrives on St. Lawrence Island to investigate the disappearance of Kodiak bears from a wildlife sanctuary, he uncovers a Soviet operation far more sinister than poaching—a front for supplying a network of Communist spies positioned along Alaska's coast. Infiltrating an atomic-powered submarine, Ken discovers the enemy's true objective: guided missiles ready to strike American airbases and installations across the frozen north. Now trapped aboard the vessel with Soviet agents who suspect his identity, Ken must find a way to stop their devastating plan before it's too late.

Benedict Arnold, the Traitorous Spy
3 pp · Non-Fiction
Benedict Arnold

General Benedict Arnold earned glory as a strategist during the Revolutionary War, but his hunger for money made him vulnerable to temptation when his wife introduced him to British spies. Plotting to sell American secrets and ultimately surrender the fortress at West Point, Arnold set in motion a dangerous scheme involving coded messages, escalating payments, and a midnight rendezvous that would unravel in unexpected ways. This true account traces how ambition and greed transformed a celebrated officer into history's most infamous traitor.

Struggle in Singapore
8 pp · Spy

A U.S. intelligence operative named Arthur Conway arrives in Singapore to face down communist agents who've infiltrated the city and are holding its residents hostage through threats to their families back in China. When Conway rescues a young woman named Yo-Tsin from the Reds' clutches, she becomes his guide to uncovering the scope of the conspiracy—but he'll need every trick in his arsenal, from armored launches to Chinese disguises, to survive the tightening net closing in around him. With a billion dollars and the fate of the Far East hanging in the balance, Conway must outmaneuver the deadliest operatives Singapore has to offer.
