Howard Gordon--the longtime executive producer of the hit TV series 24--makes his fiction debut with a tale of political intrigue and international terrorism. Gideon Davis has just 48 hours to bring his rogue agent brother in--before a twisted global conspiracy turns deadly. GIDEON DAVIS, whose behind-the-scenes negotiating skills have earned him the role of peacemaker in conflicts around the globe, knows more about hush-hush discussions in Capitol corridors than he does about hand-to-hand combat. But his more practical, tactical skills come into play when he's called on by family friend and government bigwig Earl Parker to chaperone a rogue agent from Southeast Asia to D.C. The agent, Tillman Davis, has promised to turn himself in-- but only to his brother, Gideon. Although the two brothers have been estranged for years, Gideon cannot fathom how his brother could have turned into so ruthless a man. But when the plan for Tillman's surrender goes awry and Earl Parker is taken hostage, Gideon is forced to embrace his dark side in order to evade hostile locals in war-torn Mohan to make his way to the Obelisk--the multimillion-dollar, state-of-the-art oil rig that has been seized by terrorists led by Tillman himself. It is with the help of oil rig manager Kate Murphy that Gideon launches an unlikely one-man rescue.

It's 1780, days after Benedict Arnold flees to the British when his treasonous plot to surrender the American fort at West Point is discovered and Gideon's Revolution is about to begin. General George Washington orders a secret mission for two Continental Army soldiers to go behind enemy lines, abduct Arnold, and return him to his countrymen to be tried and hanged. Washington selects one of the soldiers, Gideon Wheatley, for the mission because Arnold would trust him. Wheatley fought under Arnold's command at Saratoga and tended to the gravely wounded general for several months at Albany's military hospital. After feigning desertion to the British Army to join Arnold's corps of loyalists, Wheatley and his comrade John Champe seek out Washington's spies in New York and develop a plan to seize the traitor. But when the abduction is foiled, the soldiers are trapped by their own deceit and forced to fight alongside Arnold's raiding army, as if they were traitors themselves. Years after the war, pressed by memories that haunt him and seeking redemption, Wheatley must decide whether he alone can exact revenge on his former friend and commander, a decision that sends him across the Atlantic to London to find and confront Arnold. Gideon's Revolution is an American origin story based on real historical events, an odyssey that reveals the profound human tensions between loyalty and betrayal, allegiance and treason, revenge and the possibility of forgiveness.

The second Nightwalkers thriller "offers a remarkable twist on the lore of creatures of the night"--from the New York Times-bestselling author of Jacob (Booklist). A sister of the king of Demons--a Nightwalker species gifted with the elemental powers of nature--Magdelegna is an empath and peacekeeper. But ever since she was rescued from a human necromancer's pentagram, Legna has been feeling restless and hot-tempered, no matter how hard she tries to tamp down her warring emotions. Having existed for more than a millennium, the silver-eyed Gideon is the oldest and most powerful of his kind. A Body Demon, he is a powerful healer, but even he can't cure Legna's long-standing aversion to him. That is, until their latent hostility towards each other explodes into a passionate melding of bodies--and minds. Legna has no idea what the infusion of Gideon's power will do to a Demon as young as she is, but she's about to find out. A shocking betrayal puts them on the front lines of a battle against the fear, hatred, and prejudice of corrupted humans and their tainted black magic. " A] seductively crafted universe . . . Psychological depth, vivid detail and personal chemistry . . . make its sensitive, scorching romantic components so compelling." --Publishers Weekly "Second in Frank's spicy Nightwalkers series, this fascinating story skillfully reprises characters from the first book while providing a self-contained, fully charged story of its own." --Library Journal
