Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer. It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows.
Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit. It’s actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem.
An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way. With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves.
Business is good... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will.
Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.
And David wants in. He wants Steelheart — the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning — and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.
He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.
After the towers fall on 9/11, Lieutenant Nick Baron and the rest of the 81st Fighter Squadron are desperate for action. But CENTCOM puts them on the sidelines, leaving the young Warthog pilots restless—and reckless.
Then the unthinkable happens. During a high-risk training flight, a rookie wingman slams into the ground. In the darkness that follows, Nick wonders if he will ever learn to trust a wingman again—or even learn to trust himself. He will soon find out.
Despite the black mark on his record, Nick’s application to the elite Stealth Wing is approved. A recruiter for a new covert team has taken note of Nick’s unique combination of skills. Suddenly, Nick is swept into Operation Cerberus—a top secret mission that will take him from a harrowing flight over a black testing facility to a fight for his life on the Iraqi Dunes.
Consent to Kill is a blistering thriller by New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn. The story follows CIA operative Mitch Rapp, who has spent over a decade on the front lines of the war on terror. His bold actions have saved countless lives, but now, he finds himself the target of a bloodthirsty vendetta.
An influential father of a slain terrorist demands retribution for his son's death at Rapp's hands. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage, there are those, even among America's allies, who feel Rapp has become too effective. They have been waiting for an excuse to eliminate America's number one counterterrorism operative, and now, they have it.
Rapp must rely on his razor-sharp instincts for survival as he unleashes his fury on those who have betrayed him. It's a race against time to save one more life—his own—in this fast, fun read.
Chris and Saul were orphans, raised in a Philadelphia school for boys. Their bond of friendship was strong, and they were devoted to a mysterious man called Eliot. He visited them, brought them candy, and treated them like sons. But there was more—he trained them to be assassins.
Now, Eliot is trying desperately to have them killed. This classic espionage thriller spans the globe and decades of CIA history. It's a tale of fierce loyalty and violent betrayal, of murders coolly executed, and revenge bitterly, urgently desired.
From the master of high action, David Morrell, comes a story that changed the way spy novels were written, combining the British tradition of authentic espionage tradecraft with the American tradition of non-stop action.
