In the midst of listening to Elvis Presley's rock and roll and the soulful tunes of Ray Charles, Americans in 1962 must deal with the grim possibility of nuclear war. Fear hovers across the land, especially when President John F. Kennedy advises the nation to build bomb shelters and stockpile food. Known only to a few is the highly experimental American surveillance aircraft, the Blackbird. In order to protect the country, despite the uncertainty of the Blackbird's capabilities and the dangerous location of its destination, the American Security Council commits U.S. spy pilot Paul Hammond to fly the Blackbird and crack Russia's Iron Curtain. But the Soviets have a secret defense, one they're willing to use even if it means a nuclear clash with the Unites States. It's up to Hammond to penetrate their defenses and save the world from nuclear holocaust. Caught in between is Rachel Cummins a Washington insider who is actually Oksana Pavlodar-a Russian spy.

Had Bruce Quenton ever dabbled in the realm of mystical theology, he might have some idea about where he is and where he is being led in the Obscure Night. He might be able to sense the difference between life and death, and understand why he is compelled to fight so hard to be recognized as the person he had always been. The onus falls on Julie Redics to decide if Bruce is the man that he claims to be before she is obliged to prosecute him to the death chamber as a serial murderer. After all, it was Bruce who saved her from a knife-wielding rapist, and is the only man she ever loved. Most of us assume that, if we prepare, we will be safely guided through the Obscure Night. But how are we to know if it’s too late and we are already there?
Ferocity takes on a new meaning when it comes to Derek Venray’s solution for the dilemma facing the DeBoar Diamond Empire. If Derek is ever to become a member of DeBoar’s inner circle, it is up to him to preserve the illusion that diamonds are rare gems. When a concealed cache of diamonds worth more than 150 billion dollars is about to be offered on the open market, the threat to the DeBoars is seen as catastrophic. But Derek Venray has the perfect plan: Get rid of the cache in a place where it can never be recovered. Where might that be? Even the pharaohs couldn’t protect their fortunes by trying to seal them in Great Pyramids. Thanks to modern technology, though, Derek discovers that there is a perfect place—the deep canyons of the South Atlantic. Derek’s son, Paul, is doing scientific research there using a deep-sea drilling ship—he is also running out of funding for leasing the highly specialized rig. To have his plan succeed, Derek considers anyone, even his wife, Alena, and Paul, to be expendable. Alena and Paul may be in danger anyway, caught between Derek’s greed and Navy Commander, Teague Browning’s determination for revenge.
