The Nazi's Engineer by J Robert Kennedy

ONE OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR'S MOST ENDURING MYSTERIES IS ABOUT TO BE SOLVED.
BUT AT WHAT COST?

Nazi Germany. 1945. When Detective Inspector Wolfgang Vogel is approached by his distraught neighbor, begging him to find her missing husband, he is quickly drawn into a case the Gestapo and SS are determined he never solve, putting his own life, and that of his family, at risk.

And over 70 years later, Archaeology Professor James Acton and his wife discover the horrifying reason behind what turns out to be far more than a simple missing persons case, the revelation thrusting them into the middle of something much bigger than they could have ever imagined.

A discovery worth unfathomable millions.

And like the Nazis, there are those today who will stop at nothing to possess what they have found.

Atlantis Lost (also by Kennedy)

WILL THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN HISTORY BE LOST ONCE AGAIN?

After an earthquake strikes the Azores, a discovery of unimaginable importance is made just off the coast, sending Archaeology Professor James Acton and his wife racing across the Atlantic to confirm the find—the lost city of Atlantis.

But they aren’t the first there, and those who arrived before them will stop at nothing to prevent anyone from discovering their true purpose, and it has nothing to do with the preservation of the past, but everything to do with the destruction of our future.

Payback (also by Kennedy)

THE VICE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER IS KIDNAPPED.
DELTA IS UNLEASHED ON THOSE RESPONSIBLE!

Doctor Sarah Henderson, daughter of the Vice President, is kidnapped from an Ebola clinic, triggering an all-out effort to retrieve her by America’s elite Delta Force just hours after a senior government official from Sierra Leone is assassinated in a horrific terrorist attack while visiting the United States.

As Sarah battles impossible odds and struggles to prove her worth to her captors who have promised she will die, she’s forced to make unthinkable decisions to not only try to save her own life, but those dying from one of the most vicious diseases known to mankind, all in the hopes an unleashed Delta Force can save her before her captors enact their horrific plan on an unsuspecting United States.

Payback, the first installment of the new Delta Force Unleashed series based on the internationally bestselling James Acton Thrillers series, propels the Delta Force’s Bravo Team into its most challenging mission yet where they face an enemy with an unknown agenda and an invisible virus that threatens to kill not only them, but the ones they hold dearest.
