You'll get a little bit of everything ... international political conflicts, spies with fast and fancy toys, advanced technology--and at the heart of the story, great characters. Will appeal to fans of James Patterson and Dan Brown.
Jack Be Nimble: Gargoyle​
The boy came to her out of water, unexpected. He was smart and strong and goofy, as boys are meant to be, but peculiar - he remembered everything.
In the span of a single summer, she made him fearless.
Now, even as Mercedes Adams is at the height of her career, forbidding changes loom over the world. Tonight, in the hushed calm of a spring evening, two plain-faced killers watch her home, waiting to make their approach.
Mercedes Adams is about to find herself at the center of a vast, tightening knot of mystery, intrigue, and globe-spanning terror borne of her family's legacy. Rising to her aid is a small group of specially-trained men and women. And at their center?
A man who remembers everything.
Jack Be Nimble: Tyro
The adventure that began in fire and terror in the night sky over London has brought
Jack Flynn and his friends together again, to strike a blow against the forces of a brilliant, sadistic technologist bent on unspeakable destruction. Yet a single blow by itself has not turned the tide of this secret war, and Jack must divide his team to realize any chance of defeating the hidden army arrayed against them.
Mercedes Adams evades the assassins sent against her only to be visited by a more dangerous, intimate threat from her past. As her path brings her closer and closer to Jack -- on a mad dash from Paris to San Francisco to Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba -- Mercedes discovers the hope of survival and salvation in the lessons learned years ago in the freshness of youth, lessons learned by an eager boy, a maverick, an earnest novice . . . a Tyro.
