2012br. L'ex Navy SEAL Max Moore è l'unico sopravvissuto all'attentato che, in Pakistan, ha spazzato via l'unità della CIA con cui era andato a prelevare un importante prigioniero talebano. Qualcuno ha tradito. Ma la ricerca della verità condurrà l'agente molto lontano, al confine con il Messico dove, dopo anni di trattative, il più feroce cartello della droga ha stretto un accordo con i terroristi islamici: soldi, potere e controllo totale del mercato degli stupefacenti, contro la disponibilità di una ramificata rete di contatti in grado di portare il fuoco della jihad nel cuore degli Stati Uniti. Insieme a una task-force congiunta di agenti della CIA e dell'FBI, Max Moore dovrà dare inizio a una pericolosa caccia all'uomo, in una corsa contro il tempo per fermare l'organizzazione del secondo 11 settembre.

2016brossura Roma, 63 a.C. Mancano appena due giorni all'investitura di Marco Tullio Cicerone a console di Roma, quando nelle acque del Tevere viene ritrovato il corpo di un ragazzino orrendamente mutilato. Tutto lascia credere che si sia trattato di un sacrificio umano. Ma davvero dietro l'orrendo delitto ci sono i Galli, come sospetta qualcuno, oppure il responsabile è da cercare dentro le stanze del potere romano? Una cosa è certa: questo omicidio è un cattivo presagio alla vigilia del consolato e sembra gettare una maledizione sulla Repubblica. Poche ore dopo il ritrovamento del cadavere, Cicerone è chiamato a difendere un vecchio senatore accusato di alto tradimento, commesso più di trent'anni prima: una prova di lealtà verso la vecchia aristocrazia che potrebbe attirargli molti nemici. L'accusa è chiaramente pretestuosa, e nasconde le reali intenzioni di Giulio Cesare, l'eterno rivale di Cicerone, dal quale lo dividono visione etica e politica. Ma in una città che sta per conquistare un immenso impero sono in molti a contendersi il potere. Personaggi del calibro di Pompeo, Crasso, Catone, Catilina sono pronti a tutto per difendere i rispettivi interessi e ottenere privilegi. Alleanze e tradimenti, crudeltà e sotterfugi sono all'ordine del giorno, e la grave crisi economica rende ancora più incombente il rischio di una guerra civile.
