In Target Lock, an industrial research satellite falls to the Indonesian sea after a series of successful tests-only to disappear along with its international recovery team and their ship. NATO and U.S. military officials believe that it has been stolen, but by whom and why? Commander Garrett and her U.S. Navy task force are called in for the hunt, this time among some of the most beautiful, but uncharted, islands on earth, the Indonesian archipelago. Garrett soon suspects that a high-tech pirate has plans for the satellite and its data, but the man she meets is more than her match. He has amassed a sea force of his own and built a hidden fortress undetectable to all but the most sensitive...

In Sea Fighter, Garrett heads a United Nations task force made up of units from Great Britain, France, and the United States. Her mission: halt a rapidly escalating African civil war. A renegade Nigerian general has invaded Sierra Leone and Guinea, and is determined to establish a new "West African Union" no matter the human cost. Garrett's only hope is an arsenal of untested weapons: a flotilla of fast, heavily armed stealth hovercraft designed specifically for the deadly coastal sea war of the twenty-first century; a cybernetic intelligence-gathering system using long-range radar and a fleet of drone reconnaissance aircraft; and a gigantic ocean-borne fortress that can be anchored off an...

As the world moves into the next millennium, the United States finds itself at the forefront of this new age, policing not only its own shores but the rest of the world as well. And spearheading this overwatch are the men and women of America's armed forces, the "troops on the wall," who will go anywhere, anytime, and do whatever it takes to protect not only our nation but the rest of the free world. Now, for the first time, Combat brings the best military-fiction authors together to reveal how war will be fought in the twenty-first century. From the down and dirty "ground-pounders" of the U.S. Armored Cavalry to the new frontiers of warfare, including outer space and the Internet, ten...

In China, a simmering conflict between the government and rebel forces has boiled over into a full-scale civil war — and Taiwanese Nationalists have taken advantage of the situation to launch a lightning strike on the mainland. US analysts believe that the communist government may try one last desperate throw of the dice in their fight to hold on to power — launching a nuclear missile against Taiwan from a submarine lurking in the Yangtse River. The only option is to send the stealth missile destroyer USS Cunningham, captained by Commander Amanda Lee Garrett and fresh from it's success in the Antarctic campaign, into the East China Sea to track down the submarine and destroy it before...

On a frigid fall morning in 2006, a sudden attack against a British scientific outpost in Antarctica heralds the beginning of an invasion of the seventh continent. Resurgent after the Falklands war, Argentina has launched an armed takeover of the Antarctic Peninsula, in an attempt to seize the last untapped pool of natural resources on the planet. The global community can only look on helplessly in the face of a continuing Argentine military buildup and a looming polar winter. One hope remains, a lone U.S. Navy vessel docked in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro. The guided missile destroyer Cunningham is at the cutting edge of naval technology, the world's first oceangoing stealth warship. Her...
