About this listen
A fierce battle at the top of the world against a most ferocious enemy.
November 1928 finds Dorothy “Doc” Starr and "Captain Stratosphere" Jack McGraw raising their daughter Ellen on a ranch in the Hollywood Hills, when the local AEGIS bureau chief taps them for a new assignment—investigate the source of a strange radio signal originating from somewhere off the northern coast of Greenland.
When their home is attacked by agents of the Silver Star, they know Aleister Crowley has gone on the offensive.
In an upgraded Daedalus, the crew recruits an Inuit guide and heads into the Arctic expanse, where they encounter savage storms, ravenous predators, Russian mercenaries, the mysterious descendants of Viking explorers, and hordes of the reanimated dead.
With wounded crew members, a disabled airship, and the Silver Star in the vicinity, Jack and Doc must race to find the source of the signal and prevent a ghoulish apocalypse.
The Arctic Menace is book five in the Airship Daedalus series, an alternate 1920s retro pulp adventure saga full of international intrigue, action, terror, romance, and plenty of two-fisted heroics!

In the tradition of bestsellers by Robert Ludlum and Vince Flynn, Termination Orders introduces Dan Morgan, a retired black-ops agent who must return to duty to thwart a deadly international conspiracy.
Once a trained killer for the CIA, Dan Morgan has built a new life for himself. But when he receives a desperate plea from his former black-ops partner - reportedly killed in a foreign battle zone - he flies in to help. It should be a routine mission, extracting a human asset from the region, but it’s not - it’s an ambush.

Matt Hollis is the current wielder of the holy weapon, DÄMOREN. With it, he stalks and destroys demons. A secret society called the VALDUCANS has taken an interest in Matt's activities. They see him as a reckless rogue - little more than a "cowboy" corrupted by a monster - and a potential threat to their ancient order. As knights and their sentient weapons begin dying, Matt teams up with other hunters of his kind such as LUIZA, a woman with a conquistador blade; ALLAN, an Englishman with an Egyptian khopesh; MALCOLM, a voodoo priest with a sanctified machete; and TAKAIRA, a naginata-swinging Samurai.
