The year is 2011. An oil-hungry world is starving .

Ghost Force

The US Department of Defense is well aware of China's intention to shut the US Carrier Battle Groups out of the Taiwan Strait and then to reclaim, by military force if necessary, the rich independent island that sits only one hundred miles off China's eastern coastline. A strike force of patrolling Kilos could achieve that objective for Beijing, and two of the ten Kilos have already been delivered. Kilo Class is about US attempts to foil delivery of the other eight. The President's new National Security Adviser, the irascible Texas admiral Arnold Morgan, prepares to send the US Navy's deadliest Black Ops hit squads deep into dark Russian waters. Their missions are executed under the most crushing code of secrecy. One mistake could literally start World War III. The decision is sanctioned by the President of the United States. Now the world's three most powerful nations silently lock horns - Russia, determined to deliver the submarines to Shanghai for a payment of billions of dollars; China, determined to reclaim Taiwan by frightening off the US aircraft carriers; and the United States, brutally determined that those Kilos will never fly the flag of China above their bridges.

Le Sous Marin De La Derniere Chance (Admiral Arnold Morgan, #2)

It's one of the stealthiest, most dangerous underwater warships ever built-and it's about to set off World War III. Silent at less than five knots and capable of a massive nuclear warhead punch, it's the 240-foot Russian Kilo Class submarine. Strapped for hard cash, the Russians have produced ten new Kilos for Beijing. The Chinese have already received three of the subs and now the last seven are ready to be delivered-a code-red situation the Pentagon must avert. Armed with a full strike force of Kilos, China can cripple American interests, shatter the balance of power, and successfully achieve the unthinkable in the Pacific Rim. But not if the newly appointed National Security Adviser, wily Texas admiral Arnold Morgan, can stop them-using the navy's deadliest covert forces. In a breathtaking race against time, a team of Navy SEALs penetrates deep inside the remote waters of northern Russia on a daring mission of destruction. And in the icy darkness of the North Atlantic, a brave U. S. captain takes his 7, 000-ton nuclear vessel on a hair-raising trip beneath the polar ice cap to head off a powerful Russian cordon determined to transport the Kilos at any cost. Horns locked in a tense game of geomilitary survival, each of the world' three most powerful nations knows that one mistake will mean all-out war.

Nimitz

Les sous-marins russes de la classe " kilo " sont presque parfaits. Indécelables dès qu'ils sont en immersion. Idéal pour la Chine : lors d'une invasion de Taïwan, ils pourraient neutraliser toute intervention américaine. Dix exemplaires en provenance de la Russie sont sur le point d'être livrés. Il faut, à tout prix, empêcher cela. Le Columbia, sous-marin de l'US Navy, va intervenir. A son bord, le commandant Boomer Dunning. De la Volga au Pôle Nord, en passant par les îles Kerguelen, les missions d'interception se multiplient. Reste un sous-marin. C'est celui de la dernière chance. Et à ce jeu mortel, il n'y a qu'un gagnant.

Le sous-marin de la dernière chance

Barracuda 945

Armed with stolen U.S. military technology, the Chinese are producing a frightening new breed of weaponry,led by the ICBM submarine Xia III -- a vessel that just might be able to launch a nuclear warhead across the Pacific Ocean and take out an American West Coast city.National Security Adviser Admiral Arnold Morgan can't let that happen, and he dispatches the most stealthy hunter-killer submarine in the U.S. fleet, the 9,000-ton ultrasecret Seawolf, deep into the dark, forbidden waters of the South China Sea. But then the unthinkable happens: Seawolf, collides with a Chinese destroyer and falls into enemy hands. A team of cunning Navy SEALs -- the biggest Special Forces assault group assembled since Vietnam -- is sent in to free the captive Seawolf, crew and bring them home. The American Eagle confronts the Chinese Dragon with the balance of world power on the line. Failure is not an option...

U.S.S. Seawolf (Admiral Arnold Morgan, #4)

Stupeur au Pentagone : le plus colossal porte-avions du monde, le Thomas Jefferson - une forteresse flottante de classe " Nimitz ", fer de lance de l'US Navy - a été détruit en haute mer par une explosion nucléaire, avec six mille hommes à son bord. Accident ? attentat ? Pour le commandant Baldridge, spécialiste des sous-marins et frère d'un officier disparu dans l'explosion, la seconde hypothèse est la bonne. Reste à en convaincre le Président et les chefs militaires. Et surtout à mettre la main sur les terroristes suffisamment équipés et formés pour accomplir l'impossible : franchir l'inexpugnable réseau de protection que ses avions, croiseurs, contre-torpilleurs et sous-marins associés déployaient autour du Thomas Jefferson... Avec ce formidable techno-thriller, le Britannique Patrick Robinson se classe d'emblée parmi les champions du genre, tels que Jack Higgins ou Tom Clancy.

Nimitz (Admiral Arnold Morgan, #1)

When Navy SEAL Mack Bedford's fellow officers are brutally killed by Iraqi insurgents using a devastating, new anti-tank Diamondhead missile, Mack avenges their murders by gunning down the then unarmed attackers, ultimately getting himself court-martialed and kicked out of the Navy in the process. To make matters worse, Mack then learns that the Diamondhead missiles were sold illegally by French industrialist and infamous politician Henri Foche. Mack suspects that Foche will succeed in his campaign to become the next French President, and fears that his election will result in the spread of international terrorism.In addition, Mack has a gravely ill son whose life can only be saved by an experimental and unaffordable foreign medical procedure. So when the town’s shipbuilding magnate asks Mack to help assassinate Henri Foche, Mack finds himself agreeing. His reward is a chance at survival for both his son and his hometown.
