His genesis was inevitable. His intelligence is beyond our comprehension. His agenda is unknown. The Gemini Man is among us. At the end of a century of exponential growth, horrifying destruction, and accelerated evolution, only the fittest will survive his arrival. His time is now. One part Robert Ludlum with two parts Thomas Harris and brilliantly wrapped in a Darwinian high concept, The Gemini Man is a dazzling debut thriller from an extremely gifted and daring young writer. With a power-packed narrative drive and an absolutely engrossing cast of characters, it is destined to become one of the most talked-about books of the year. U.S. Brigadier General Alexander Beck found Brian Newman on the brink of court-martial. Knowing what a weapon this man could be, Beck trained him to live by his instincts and directed his development as a top dual-purpose covert operative. Code-named Gemini, Newman offered up his innocence and Beck dropped him into the most heated political battle in history. But after delivering a debilitating blow to the Soviet Union that sealed a Cold War victory for the grand old flag, Beck left him for dead. But the Gemini Man survived. The most lethal human fallout from the most catastrophic of centuries has been waiting to return home. Six years of contemplation in solitary confinement in a frozen Russian gulag taught him well. And at long last, Beck negotiates to bring his discovery in from the cold. Sent to an isolated psychiatric research facility for "de-briefing," Newman must play cat and mouse with a brilliant female psychiatrist long enough to enact his hidden agenda. But does the Gemini Man know who he really is? If he does, he must die. And if he doesn't, he'll have to die anyway. For if Brian Newman is set free, our days are numbered. And his time is now.

A brilliantly conceived thriller rivaling the work of David Baldacci and Daniel Silva, Nobody's Safe combines the wrongly accused, man-on-the-run pace of The Fugitive with the conspiratorial paranoia of Absolute Power. Gregory Picaro is the finest safecracker and break-in artist in the world. There is no safe, no lock, no security system that can keep him out. By combining touch with technology, insight with improvisation, Greg's world is just one big, open door. But some things are better left locked away. One evening, on a seemingly routine apartment burglary, Greg is caught with his guard down. Concealed in the owner's closet, Greg covertly witnesses an interrogation of his mark by three men in dark, conservative suits. Unable to crack the owner for the combination to his hidden safe, they torture and murder him in cold blood. Greg keeps his cool, and as the men in black regroup to dispose of the body, Greg picks the safe clean. What he finds in the stash is both perplexing and revelatory, and something that the highest and hidden levels of the government will kill to keep secret. A rocket-fueled American thriller filled with exquisitely detailed insights into the methodology of safecracking, Nobody's Safe takes readers on a dazzling ride into the labyrinthine world of government deception, and will keep them guessing until the final page.

Nobody's Safe

A one phase man's a keeper Two phase man's no sleeper A three phase man's of old Four phase man's worth his weight in gold A Manchurian Candidate for the information age, The 4 Phase Man solidifies Richard Steinberg's growing reputation as a master of the conspiracy thriller. Relics of the Cold War, four-phase men are CIA legends. Experts in all four of the most critical, most specialized areas of black operations--intelligence gathering, counterintelligence, electronic warfare, and assassination--four-phase men are capable of carrying out the most complicated, dangerous, and deadly missions alone. And since the earliest stages of the O.S.S., there have been only seven of this special breed. Today, just two remain alive--Colin Meadows and Gerald Goldman. Trained from youth to do America's dirty work, Meadows and Goldman never came in from the cold and are now outsiders looking in. Meadows is a play-for-pay operative for the People's Republic of China, and Goldman is in self-imposed exile. Now, after twenty-five years of careful planning and masterful intelligence theft, the Chinese have seized the opportunity to awaken a sleeper spy in the United States. With Meadows ringleading the mole's path to the White House, Goldman is the only man capable of derailing a brilliant stratagem for a silent coup. Chock-full of high-tech espionage and driven by a blistering cat-and-mouse narrative, The 4 Phase Man may leave readers double-checking the morning newspaper to separate fact from fiction.

When the US government wanted the perfect human weapon to bring the Soviet union to its knees, Brian Newman was an obvious choice. They transformed him into a commando so cunning that, left on his own in a remote Russian province, he devastated Russian industry in a hellish nuclear catastrophe. Now the Americans have him back after six years of isolation and torture in a frozen Russian gulag. Can Newman safely go free? Or has his ordeal stripped him of any last remnants of humanity? A psychiatrist believes she has discovered an incredible clue to the Newman enigma, but before she can convince her colleagues, Newman escapes and people start turning up dead. They are forced to confront a possibility even more disturbing than the specter of Brian Newman at large: that Newman is no longer homo sapiens, but rather a new man, the über man, ultimate successor to our race, Nietsche's prophetic dream and our own worst nightmare.
