The good life — expensive cars, an island mansion, a beautiful wife — Cassius Cartwright, former Hedge Fund Manager of the Year had it all. But in a matter of months, the Great Recession brought Cassius to his knees. Broke, with angry clients and the S.E.C. after him, Cassius needed money, fast.

And then he encounters two associates from his past, two cocaine traffickers with a million in cash and no way to get it to their Colombian connection. It's the perfect crime, if he can pull it off. But nobody just lets a million dollars walk, so with federal agents and Colombian terrorists in pursuit, Cassius plans the ultimate high-risk gamble, truly a hedge extreme.

A retired assassin. A serial killer with a social agenda.

Determined to leave her old life behind, retired assassin Leine Basso accepts a job working security at one of television's most popular reality shows, Serial Date. When a contestant is found dead in the prop closet, it appears the killer is one of the "bachelors" on the show — an ex-con billed as a serial killer — but the detective in charge of the case isn't so sure.

When Leine's estranged daughter is abducted by a man claiming to be the real killer, she's forced to rely on old skills to find her, and must come to terms with who she really is. She soon realizes the murderer may be a grisly remnant from her past and she'll need to use all of her cunning to stop him … and rescue her daughter.

Newly-promoted to Captain, Dan Lenson's first glimpse of his command is of a ship literally high and dry. The USS Savo Island, which carries a classified, never-before-deployed missile defense system, has run aground on an exposed sandbar off Naples. Captain Lenson has to relieve the ship's disgraced skipper and deploy on a secret mission — Operation Stellar Shield — which will take his ship and crew into the dangerous waters bordering the Middle East.

As a climate of war builds between Israel and Iraq, with threats of nuclear and chemical weapons, Dan has to rally Savo Island's demoralized crew, confront a mysterious death on board ship, while learning to operate a complex missile system that has not been battle tested. But when the conflict reaches a climax, Dan is forced to make a decision that may cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives — or may save them, but at the cost of his ship and his career.
