Tom Clancy's Under Fire

INSPIRATION FOR THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN . . . 
 
Tom Clancy's Under Fire is another breakneck Jack Ryan Jr. adventure novel from one of Clancy's most successful collaborators: Grant Blackwood. 
 
*** 
Campus operative Jack Ryan Jr is in Tehran, when he meets an old friend, Seth. 
 
As they part, Seth passes Jack a key, gives him a cryptic message - and vanishes. 
 
Now MI6 and the CIA are after Jack. They're desperate to find Seth. Jack tells them he knows nothing - but perhaps he knows enough to find his friend on his own . . . 
 
In a dangerous foreign country, chased by agents from all sides, unsure who - if anyone - he can trust, Jack has few clues and no space for mistakes. 
 
He's risking everything for Seth. But whose side is his old friend on? 
 
And what if it's not Jack's?

On a routine intelligence mission in Tehran, Jack Ryan, Jr., meets his oldest friend, Seth Gregory. As they part, Seth gives Jack a key and a perplexing message. 
 
The next day Jack is summoned by two men who claim Seth has disappeared with funds for a vital intelligence operation. Insisting Seth has turned, they leave Jack with a warning: If you hear from Seth Gregory, call us immediately. 
 
But they don't know Jack. He won't abandon a friend. 
 
Jack soon finds himself lost in intrigue, lies, and betrayal where no one is who they seem to be - not even Seth

FARGO Adventures #3

The Kingdom

Sam and Remi Fargo are a husband and wife team on a quest. Treasure hunters, they travel the world looking for ancient artefacts and exotic bounty. They're in it for the history and the mystery, but others are not so honourable, and the Fargo's often find themselves caught up in ancient riddles, desperate to solve the puzzle before the bad guys get there first.

The Kingdom is Clive Cussler's third Fargo Adventure. 
 
Whether it's lost treasure or missing persons, the Fargos find themselves in a heap of trouble every time . . . 
 
When Texas oil baron Charlie King contacts Sam and Remi Fargo he has an unusual request. He hired an investigator - and good friend of the pair - to locate his missing father in the Far East. But now the investigator has vanished. Would Sam and Remi be willing to look for them both? 
 
Though something about the request doesn't quite add up, Sam and Remi agree to help out. 
 
It's a journey that takes the Fargos to Tibet, Nepal, Bulgaria, India, and China. They get mixed up with black-market fossils, a centuries-old puzzle chest, the ancient Nepali kingdom of Mustang, a balloon aircraft from a century before its time . . . and an extraordinary skeleton that might turn the history of human evolution on its head. Oh, and not a few unfriendly people with guns and itchy trigger fingers . . . 
 
Clive Cussler, author of the celebrated Dirk Pitt novels Treasure of Khan and Valhalla Rising, presents the third novel in his newest series, following the adventures of treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo. The Kingdom follows Spartan Gold and Lost Empire.
