WAR (Kier)

A rogue black ops agent and a former ballerina race to prevent a weapon of mass destruction lost in the West African jungle from falling into the wrong hands. Rogue black ops agent Max Lansing is determined to bring international arms dealer Heinrich Dietrich to justice for the attack that critically injured his younger brother. When Max tracks Dietrich to West Africa he believes that revenge is finally within his grasp. Instead, Max ends up with a target on his back after Dietrich sends a vicious group of rebels to kill him. When a group of American dancers gets caught in the crosshairs, Max grabs the sole survivor. He doesn't want to play babysitter, but he's determined that no more innocents will die. Former prima ballerina Emily Iwasaki was promised this part of West Africa was safe. If she'd known the danger she would never have traveled thousands of miles with her dance troupe in order to raise awareness for war orphans. Adrift after the abrupt end to her career, she'd hoped the tour would restore her sense of purpose. Instead, she finds herself on the run with Max, the rebels hot on their heels. Before Max gets Emily to safety, they learn that a plane carrying a weapon of mass destruction has crashed in the nearby jungle. They must locate the weapon before Dietrich does, or thousands will die. With the fate of West Africa on their shoulders, Max and Emily find that they make a surprisingly skillful team. If they can outrun the rebels and survive the deadly hazards of the jungle, they might just save the day.

A doctor accused of weapons smuggling must convince a distrustful soldier of her innocence before the real smugglers use the weapons in a catastrophic attack. WAR team leader Lachlan MacKay has tracked smuggled weapons to an American doctor at a West African clinic. But his deep hatred for doctors threatens to blind him to evidence that suggests all might not be as it seems. Trauma surgeon Dr. Helen Kirk is desperate to put her family's tainted history behind her. After months spent repairing her reputation, she's one step from returning to the work she loves. Then Lachlan shows up, asking probing questions that threaten to raise the painful details of her past and derail her plans. Helen's desperate attempts to make Lachlan leave only convince him of her guilt. Then a series of attacks using the stolen weapons points the blame at a mysterious financial donor to Helen's clinic. Soon Helen and Lachlan are caught up in a deadly plot intended to destroy West Africa. As those around them die, they must learn to put aside their distrust in order to stop the plot before the death toll rises.

A desperate pilot who's out of options. When bush pilot Seth Jarrod receives the new assignment from his blackmailer-to fly for the brutal leader of a breakaway West African rebel group-he knows he can't comply. Not if he wants to hold onto the remaining fragments of his soul. Yet if he fails, his niece will die. An up-and-coming singer on the verge of international success. Indie singer Kirra Neilson is on her way to a benefit concert when her bus is attacked by rebels hoping to recover stolen diamonds. Kirra is shocked to discover that the rebels suspect that the thief passed the diamonds to her. She is no stranger to the darker side of life. A former jewel thief who spent time on the streets, Kirra uses those skills to escape. But she soon discovers that eluding armed men-who don't care who they hurt during the chase-is trickier than sneaking into a secure high-rise. A chance encounter presents Seth with a possible way out. It's dangerous, but he's desperate enough to seize any opportunity. Kirra stumbles into Seth's life, looking like a bedraggled angel, with rebel soldiers hard on her heels. Seth can't sit back and do nothing, even though it puts his escape plan in jeopardy. He tells himself he'll run interference once, then send her on her way. Their enemies are more powerful than they realize. And time is running out. The rebels are deadly serious about retrieving the diamonds, and they aren't the only ones on the hunt. It will take the combined skills of Seth and Kirra, with a dash of luck and a helping of love, to keep them both alive. And even then, the power of Seth's secret might destroy any chance of a future.
