“From Alaska to Taiwan to Russia, Echoes In A Stone is a high-octane scramble of adventure and relentless action, driven by characters so engaging you'll pull for them every step of the way. A propulsive thriller where cutting-edge science collides with global stakes — gripping to the last page.” – GENE KOON, award winning author of international thrillers
“Another top-notch thriller by Rodger Carlyle. I tried putting it down but kept reading; I had to know what crashed into Brandt and Andrea’s cabin in Alaska. Once the discovery is made public, everyone wants it, but what will they do to get it? Echoes in Stone is a fast-paced action thriller from the first page to the last.” - TRAVIS DAVIS, award winning author of thrillers and historical fiction
Brandt and Andrea escape the corporate world to make their fortune in the wilds of Alaska. Little do they know that fortune might come from the heavens and not the land, in the form of an amazing, seemingly impossible diamond.
Retired CIA legend Thad Walker and his team of brilliant misfits are drawn in as whispers of the discovery spread, catching the couple in a web of secrecy, danger, and international intrigue. Together, they set out to uncover the diamond's origins. What begins as a scientific mystery quickly spirals into a race against time as shadowy forces close in to claim its secret for themselves.
The truth will rewrite history.

John Winn Miller - Mariam in the Shadows
"A taut and compelling example of World War II fiction and a fine historical thriller."-ALAN FURST, New York Times Bestselling Author of Night Soldiers
On the eve of D-Day, the fate of the world hangs not on the beaches of Normandy, but deep within a secret Nazi facility in occupied France.
Here, in a claustrophobic, slave-driven mine codenamed Noball 109, German scientists are racing to perfect a terror weapon that would render the Allied invasion obsolete: radioactive warheads on V-2 rockets aimed at the heart of London.
Enter Miriam Maduro, a ghost haunted by her past. A brilliant and courageous Dutch-Jewish Special Operations Executive agent, she has already been captured, tortured, and escaped the Nazis once. Now, the British pull her from the shadows for an offer she can't refuse: undertake a suicide mission to infiltrate and destroy the rocket facility, and they will guarantee safe passage for her young son and sister to England. For Miriam, it's not about patriotism; it's a mission fueled by a mother's fierce love and a survivor's desperate need for redemption.
Running parallel is a story of love and betrayal. Captain Jake Rogers, the American merchant marine who previously rescued Miriam and is the father of her child, is recruited by a charming Ian Fleming for a seemingly simple naval diversion. But treachery turns the mission into a disaster. Rogers is captured by the Germans.
The two storylines collide in one heart-stopping moment. Deep undercover, Miriam unfolds a German newspaper and sees Jake's face staring back at her from the front page. She is now faced with an impossible choice: complete her world-saving mission and let the man she loves perish, or risk everything-the war, D-Day, the lives of millions- orchestrate a daring rescue?

Humphrey Hawksley - Ice Islands
A global crisis starts with a single kill. Only Rake Ozenna is in a position to stop it.
Major Rake Ozenna’s latest assignment sounds simple: infiltrate the Kato family — Japan’s most powerful crime empire — and use their estranged daughter, Sara Kato, to expose a growing threat to international security.
Then a message flashes on Rake’s secure phone from Sara: Rake Ozenna. Help me.
A man is found with his throat cut at a Peace Institute on the remote Åland Islands and all the evidence has been carefully planted to point to Sara.
Sent undercover to the snowbound international conference, Rake must reach Sara before Finnish authorities — or the Kato syndicate — silence her for good.
But the deeper he digs, the clearer the truth becomes: the murder is only the opening move in a far more dangerous plan.
As a violent blizzard seals off the islands, Rake is cut off from backup, surrounded by enemies he can’t identify, and forced to protect the woman at the centre of it all — a woman who may be the key to stopping a global catastrophe . . .
