  Lieutenant Eric “LZ” O’Dwyer lives for impossible missions.  
  Estranged from his powerful father for choosing the military instead of the family business, Eric brews with an internal chaos that drives him toward ops with high-risk flying, razor-thin margins, and bad odds. But posing as a male prostitute with a gorgeous, smart-mouthed DEA agent who pushes all his bad - and dangerously good - buttons may be the mission that finally unravels him. 
    
  Special Agent Nicole Gamboa is done with partners who think her body is part of the job. 
  This Navy pilot? Cocky, dark-Irish sexy, and absolutely the type to take advantage of their steamy mission to slip in a little collateral seduction. But Nicole spent her childhood in hiding, building her emotional armor. She’s prepared for betrayal. She’s prepared for danger. She’s prepared for…everything except for what actually happens. 
    
  When the op falls apart and Nicole is captured, she’s forced to face the one scenario she never trained for: believing that Eric might be the partner she can finally trust. 
  To save her, Eric will have to pull off an extraction that borders on suicidal - right up his alley. 
  Except this time, the stakes are way too high. 
  Everything he pretended to feel for Nicole has become gut-level real, and failure would mean losing the one woman who’s ever managed to quiet the chaos inside him. 
    
  BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY launches Tracy Tappan’s explosive military romantic thriller series, where courageous naval aviators face unspeakable danger—and the kind of love worth risking everything for.

  The War of the Worlds by HG Wells

  The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialised in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine in the UK and by Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. 
  Written between 1895 and 1897, it is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extra-terrestrial race and is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon. 
  The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears, and prejudices. Wells said that the plot arose from a discussion with his brother Frank about the catastrophic effect of the British on indigenous Tasmanians. What would happen, he wondered, if Martians did to Britain what the British had done to the Tasmanians, who were wiped out with the last dying in 1876. 
  The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never been out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a number of television series, and radio dramas, the most infamous being the 1938 radio programme directed by and starring Orson Welles that allegedly caused public panic among listeners who did not know the Martian invasion was fictional, although the scale of panic is disputed as the program had relatively few listeners. 
  The book was banned immediately in China, Japan, Vietnam, as well as North America due to political and scientific theories touted by the novel.

  Bardelys, the richest and most fashionable man at Louis XIII's court, wagers his estates that he can marry a lady in Languedoc who has refused the King's favorite — and arrives in her country under another man's name, wounded, and is taken for a rebel. Sabatini spoke five languages and wrote in English by choice; this 1906 novel is the purest of his swashbucklers, and the wager turns out to be the least of his problems. Sixty plates after Rubens and Champaigne show the courts, convoys and bivouacs of seventeenth-century France, the very world Bardelys rides through.
