The Route 66 List 2 — Missouri

Alex Poliac and his son are still on the run, having evaded both the FBI and the Clown — the supposed serial killer who’s actually a KGB hatchet man. Because Alex isn’t exactly who he says he is, part of a network run by a shadowy figure among the US’s most wanted list. He also happens to be the only holder of the explosive Route 66 List, which contains the names of every agent implanted in the States along the celebrated road. Agents whose days are now numbered.

Theodore Poussin 1 — Captain Steene

The dreams of a pencil pusher longing for adventure and distant shores come true when the maritime transport company where he works sends him on a trip to 1928 French Indochina. But Theodore Poussin is about to get more than he bargained for as he sets sail on the Cap Padaran: a mysterious, poetry-reciting man with ominous predictions about his future follows him everywhere; stories surrounding his late uncle Captain Steene, whose grave he promised his family he would find, are vague and contradictory; and he somehow ends up in the crossfire of a guerilla war near the Chinese border, forced to run for his life and toward even more unexpected events.

The Dream of Jerusalem 3 — The White Spear

Antioch has fallen, betrayed by one of its own.

Plague and starvation whittle down their numbers, but Hermance is of no help: the light of his holy healing gift seems to have been doused by his affair with the Tafur princess Istvana. Jealousy consumes Black Liv while his captains Bohemond and Raymond of Toulouse quarrel over spoils. What miracle will save the day?

Will it drive him to sacrifice the very reason he has come all this way: to take back the Holy Sepulcher from the Muslims?
