Stephen Coonts weaves three unforgettable tales of men and women at war, with the sort of dramatic military action and undercover technology for which he is known. Included in this collection are:



The Sea Witch…

When young Dauntless dive-bomber pilot is sacked for reckless behavior, he's reassigned to a Black Cat squadron as the co-pilot of a giant Catalina seaplane, The Sea Witch. He's thrown into a whole new world, where a Catalina carries five tons of bombs, a half-dozen machine guns, and a crew that walks a fine line between valor and a death wish.

A daring night bombing mission against Rabaul forces the crew of The Sea Witch to band together as never before. Each man will soon find out what he's made of..and not everyone will make it back alive.

The 17th Day…

Seventeen days…the average life expectancy of a British Aviator during WWI.

Last three weeks, and you were practically a veteran.

Paul Hyde dropped out of college to join the Royal Flying Corps, looking for a grand adventure. And grand it was, or so he assured himself when planes were crashing all around him.

Today is his seventeeth day. Will be he be able to beat the odds?

Al Jihad…



Charles Dean is retired from the military, determined to be done with that part of his life. But when Julie Girard, the daughter of his old commander, seeks him out, he can't say no to a simple lunch.

What she has in mind isn't quite so simple.

She wants Dean to help her kill the terrorists who murdered her parents. She offers him three million dollars and the chance to avenge his commander's death.

But all is not as it seems, and before long Dean and Girard must use all their skills just to stay alive...

In The News

“Coonts knows how to write and build suspense . . . a natural storyteller.” —The New York Times Book Review

The Sea Witch is a triple play of classic Stephen Coonts tales: No one writes more forcefully of warriors whose missions and dreams take flight. It's always a treat to have Coonts in print again, but this book's one of a kind.” —Ralph Peters, New York Times bestselling author of Cain at Gettysburg and The Officers' Club

“Great entertainment comes in threes. Stephen Coonts, the master of the military suspense thriller, delivers you three nights of fevered page-turning in three terrific novellas, set in three amazing periods of American history. Don't miss it.” —William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Annapolis and The Lincoln Letter

“Stephen Coonts has an absolute lock on the secret of good story telling: He knows interesting people in harm's way so well that the reader has no choice but to care for them. And in the case of The Sea Witch and other stories in this fine collection, it's obvious he knows airplanes just a well. My only disappointment was that the stories ended--I wanted more.” —David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of Abyss
