This story chronicles VanCor's missions into the jungle with his four team members in "Ringlet." Countless missions in harm's way, five Marines would have to find the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), gather intelligence, break away to a helicopter rendezvous and return to base camp to report their findings. They ventured into the DMZ and beyond, and into the jungle's grip. Some missions were successful, others would end in fierce firefights and men would die.

A scientist and a soldier must join forces when combat drones zero in on targets on American soil in this gripping technological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Daniel Suarez. Linda McKinney studies the social behavior of insects—which leaves her entirely unprepared for the day her research is conscripted to help run an unmanned and automated drone army. Odin is the secretive Special Ops soldier with a unique insight into a faceless enemy who has begun to attack the American homeland with drones programmed to seek, identify, and execute targets without human intervention. Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for the world to recognize its destructive power. But as enigmatic forces press the advantage, and death rains down from above, it may already be too late to save mankind from destruction.

Swift, Silent, and Deadly: Recon Marines tells the story of Recon Marine heroes in Vietnam. Many of the men covered in the book are no longer with us. Some were casualties of the war. Others just haven't survived the years that have passed since the end of the war. There are still plenty around to tell their story, however, and some of those are included in this book. This book contains stories of U.S. Marines who performed reconnaissance duties in Vietnam during the war there. The duty was hazardous in that the operated in small units, usually a seven-man team, in areas held by enemy forces: Viet-Cong and/or North Vietnam Regular Army. In so far as possible, I've included background of the men during their youth. I hope that today's youth will consider them heroes to emulate.

A damsel in a dress was Garrett’s weakness, especially when she had equipment in all the right places. Still, Garrett wasn’t sure it was worth his life to take on Maggie Jenn, the ex-king’s ex-mistress, as his client. Not in a kingdom where the biggest con artists weren’t human, magic could beat any weapon, and the local killers were built like tanks. It seemed like a simple missing person’s case: a vanished teenage daughter, a distraught mother trying to track her down. But when a guy as well-connected as the Rainmaker was gunning to see Garrett permanently removed from the case, he knew he’d have to call in some big favors just to keep his head on his shoulders, let alone to find a kid who probably didn’t want to be found.
