Book excerpt: In the southern Kalahari area of Botswana—an arid landscape of legends that speak of lost cities, hidden wealth, and ancient gods—a fractious ranger named Monzo is found dying from a severe head wound in a dry ravine. Three Bushmen surround the doomed man, but are they his killers or there to help? Detective David “Kubu” Bengu is on the case, an investigation that his old school friend Khumanego claims is motivated by racist antagonism on the part of the local police. But when a second bizarre murder, and then a third, seem to point also to the nomadic tribe, the intrepid Kubu must journey into the depths of the Kalahari to uncover the truth. What he discovers there will test all his powers of detection . . . and his ability to remain alive.

Book excerpt: Jaden Gibbons awoke in a pool of her own blood beneath her as she laid on the cold concrete of a dark and desolate alley. Brutally beaten, she had no idea how she had come to be in the alley or who she was. Taken in by a kind and elderly man, Jaden slowly begins to rebuild her life as her wounds slowly heal, but something is lurking inside her. Something so sinister and so dark, the truth could destroy her. As tiny fragments begin to emerge, a side of Jaden is unleashed which she cannot control. Underneath her calm exterior lies a trained assassin. What will happen when Jaden finally learns the truth? Will those who meet her be fortunate enough to survive.

Book excerpt: She awoke to the comfort of the cold concrete beneath her. Badly beaten and barely clinging to life, Jaden Gibbons prays for death to take her. She awakens several days later in the care of the kind, elderly man who found her. With no memory of who she is or how she ended up in an alley clinging to life, Jaden attempts to piece together the few remnants of her life she can remember. When a tragic event forces her to remember who she was, Jaden learns the truth behind the life she cannot remember and who she was; a cold blooded assassin. A chance meeting with a stranger leads her to America where she begins to re-assemble her life as a Secret Agent yet all is not as it seems. As Jaden begins to uncover the truth, she learns she was part of a secret sector called the Vector Project, and she was not alone. With only her skills to guide her, and a drive to kill, the only questions that remain is who will live and who will die.

Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the danger of diving the Andrea Doria, the "Everest" of deep-sea diving, by an award-winning journalist and photographer. On a foggy July evening in 1956, the Italian cruise liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York, was struck broadside by another vessel. In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only fifty-one of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the Andrea Doria is still taking lives. Considered the Mount Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge. Over the years, a small but fanatical group of extreme scuba divers have investigated the Andrea Doria, pushing themselves to the very limits of human endurance to explore her—and not all have returned. Diver Kevin McMurray takes you inside this elite club with a hard, honest look at those who go deeper, farther, and closer to the edge than others would ever dream. Deep Descent is the riveting true story of the human spirit overcoming human frailty and of fearsome, mortal risks traded for a hard-core adrenaline rush. Chronicling these adventures in his page-turning narrative and in dozens of dramatic photos, McMurray draws us deeper into the cold heart of the unforgiving sea, giving us a powerful vision of a place to which few will ever have the skills—or the courage—to go.
