Two reads to get the adrenalin pumping

In the mood for a good book...or two?

In Tom Clancy’s Chain of Command, written by Marc Cameron, America is under attack from within. Patients in hospitals, clinics, and at home are dying when the drugs they need for survival turn out to be ineffective copies.

A corrupt pharmaceutical billionaire has spent millions supporting radical groups while using the chaos they engender to cover his money-making schemes, but for a man with such towering ambitions, the only real goal is power. To get that, he’ll have to eliminate the only impediment in his path … Jack Ryan.

The question is, how do you attack the most closely guarded man in the world? For a man who has built his fortune on underhanded dealings and misdirection, the answer is as simple as it is shocking … he’ll have to kidnap the First Lady. 

Since Tom Clancy’s death in 2013, these books have been written by Marc Cameron, who’s kept the fast-paced and thrilling novels going. This one’s a real page-turner. Michael Joseph, available at Exclusive Books

In 1959 Tibet, an important Buddhist artefact was seemingly lost in the Communist takeover. But when Dirk Pitt discovers a forgotten crash site, new clues emerge.

But Pitt has larger worries. He must recover a failed hypersonic missile before it’s found by a Chinese adversary, who has hijacked a ship capable of stirring the ocean into a veritable Devil’s Sea.

From the depths of the Pacific to the heights of the Himalayas, only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr, can unravel the mysteries that will preserve a religion, save a nation… and save the world from war.

Clive Cussler’s The Devil’s Sea was written by his son Dirk Cussler. PenguinRandomHouse, available at Exclusive Books
