  The names solemnly displayed in Memorial Hall at the U.S. Naval Academy serve as a constant reminder of why Annapolis is different from Harvard, or Stanford, or Duke. No midshipman recognizes this more viscerally than Donald Durago, who knows all too well that some will die--heroically, tragically, slowly, or quickly--in the service of their country. 
  Set at the U.S. Naval Academy in the 1990s, The Recipient's Son tells the story of a young man's struggle to come to terms with his legacy as the son of a war hero and with his doubts about his own courage. Durago's father was killed in the Vietnam War where his actions as a POW earned him the Medal of Honor. That honor pro­vided Durago with an appointment to the Naval Acad­emy, a benefit offered to all children of Medal of Honor recipients. 
  During his plebe year, Durago struggles under the burden of being worthy of his father's memory. With the help of Master Chief Strong, he begins to identify with his father's sacrifice, his own naval heritage, and Academy life. When an incident during his senior year brings his character into question triggering terrifying nightmares Durago realizes he has not completely dealt with his father's death. Before he can graduate, he must defend himself at a board of inquiry and faces "separation," a fate worse than mere expulsion. However, with the support of his roommate and a pretty JAG officer he finds the confidence to pursue a military career. The Recipient's Son is a stirring tale of a young man coming to grips with the heroism of his father and overcoming his self-doubts to accept the challenge of serving his country on his own terms. 
  An Academy graduate himself, author Stephen Phil­lips draws an intimate picture of life in the Yard that examines the concepts of leadership, honor, service, and personal sacrifice in the Navy.

  Can Aisling Keane and her partner Shimmer survive her promotion to field agent? 
   
   
   
  It's what she's wanted since joining Dragonfly. The chance to show her skills in the field. She didn't realize it would involve leaping out of an airplane, masquerading as a model for a catering company, or taking part in an all-out assault on a defended position. 
   
   
   
  All those spy movies she watched as a kid did nothing to prepare her for reality. 
   
   
   
  A criminal organization has hit Dragonfly's radar, engaged in terrorism around the world. But how big can they be? The newest agent is on the team to take them down. But, like everything in the world of espionage, what lies just beneath the surface can get you killed. 
   
   
   
  Dragonfly has a new foe, and Aisling will earn a new enemy. 
   
   
   
  The turncoat agent, Jamison Hart is working behind the scenes. While Aisling hunts the traitor, unbeknownst to her, he's hunting her as well. Aisling will have to rely on her support team for support in order to succeed. Even then, success can come at a steep price. 
   
   
   
  She'll need to increase her power and her skills, and think fast in order to handle all the chaos that's coming at her. The investigator-turned-agent wouldn't have it any other way.
