Book 1
At a remote US ice station in Antarctica, a team of scientists has made an amazing discovery. They have found something unbelievable buried below the surface - trapped inside a layer of ice 400 million years old.
Something made of metal... something which shouldn't be there... it's the discovery of a lifetime, a discovery of immeasurable value. And a discovery men would kill for.
Led by the enigmatic Lieutenant Shane Schofield, a crack team of US Marines is rushed to the ice station to secure this bizarre discovery for their own nation. Meanwhile other countries have developed the same idea, and are ready to pursue it swiftly and ruthlessly. Fortunately, Schofield's men are a tough unit, all set to follow their leader into hell.
They soon discover they just did...

Book 3
As 'Scarecrow' Schofield watches his mission to take out a secret missile dump in Siberia turn into a bloodbath, he discovers he has been tricked and is now the prey rather than the predator. An international consortium of staggering power and wealth has included his name on a mystery list of fifteen targets to be eliminated without fail by twelve noon on 31 December.
Now every high-powered bounty hunter on the planet is on his trail. While Schofield battles to evade them on every side, he must simultaneously track down the perpetrators of a conspiracy that could soon reduce many of the major cities of the world to ashes. And behind that lies a secret agenda even more terrifying ...
From arctic Russia to the Afghan border, from France's Atlantic coast to a speed-of-light conflict over the Suez Canal, every form of ultra-tech weaponry comes into play in a spellbinding action drama that unfolds within a mere twenty-four hours.
