In the wake of 9/11, the shadowy world of the illicit drug trade has evolved, intertwining with global conflicts and stretching its tendrils across continents—from the dense jungles and chaotic city streets of South America to the arid deserts of Afghanistan. As the trade grows at an alarming rate, Brayden and his team find themselves on the front lines of a battle that the world chooses to ignore: a war that rages not only against terrorism but also against the relentless flow of drugs that fuels corruption and violence.

Life-long friends Louisa, Jeannie and Kate are following in the footsteps of their families, working at the Clarks shoe factory. But when Britain declares war on Germany, the Somerset village of Street is shaken to its core. The Clarks factory is at the heart of life in the village, but the Clark family are Quakers and pacifists. Before long, there are fierce debates amongst the workers and tensions between those who oppose the war and those who believe the village men should go to fight.

With the country in the grips of conscription, the pacifism at the heart of Street village comes under scrutiny, and when Kate befriends Gerald, a young Quaker arrested for refusing to fight, she starts to understand the true dilemma the community finds itself in. Still grieving the loss of her sweetheart Mattie, Louisa finds herself at odds with her parents, who refused them the chance to marry. As her mother’s attempts to find Louisa a husband show no signs of abating, Louisa takes solace in her friendship with Jeannie’s brother Lucas.

I should have re-published it prior to 9/11, but this novel is only a bare beginning of what may soon be history.

Twelve years ago, after Navy SEAL Keith Maddox was captured in Da Nang Harbor, Admiral Robert Jessel made a difficult choice, a trade with the Chinese: two U.S. atomic warheads for Keith’s life. A few months after the exchange, the warheads went missing. Though Keith made it out safely that day, the decision has haunted Admiral Jessel ever since. Twelve years later, the warheads have been found in the Persian Gulf at the bottom of the ocean. Now it’s up to Keith to track down the devices before General Xu Caihov, who had the warheads reverse engineered into IEDs.

On the heels of Once a Spy, which PW hailed as a “wildly original debut [with] an action-packed story line,” Keith Thomson returns with a breakneck thriller that’s twice as explosive as the original. In the tradition of Robert Ludlum, with a witty twist, Thomson’s second novel featuring...
