Initially designed as a fast medium bomber, the Junkers Ju 88 was also used as a Zerstoerer heavy fighter by the Luftwaffe. It saw its combat debut over Poland in 1939, and heavy fighter variants saw action on every front up to VE Day. The ultimate Ju 88 fighter variant was the G-model of 1944, which boasted a FuG 220 or 227 radar, an astounding array of cannon and machine gun armament and advanced Junkers Jumo or BMW engines. \n\nA dedicated nightfighter, the first Ju 88G-1s entered service with the Nachtjagd in the summer of 1944, replacing Ju 88C/Rs as well as some Bf 110Gs. Despite suffering heavy losses in the final months of the war, Ju 88Gs also inflicted serious casualties on Bomber Command throughout the war.\n\nFrom patrolling over the Bay of Biscay, to the Arctic circle opposing Allied convoys and, most successfully, as radar-equipped nightfighters engaging RAF heavy bombers during defence of the Reich operations from late 1941, this is the story of the Ju 88 aces who menaced Allied aircraft and shipping throughout World War 2.

An astonishing discovery is made in the remote African republic of Zangaro, one which could change the course of a nation's history forever. But such a discovery cannot be kept secret for long and Sir James Manson will stop at nothing to protect this find. A ruthless and bloody-minded tycoon, Manson immediately hires an army of mercenaries and with this deadly crew behind him he sets out to topple the government and replace its dictator with a puppet president. \n\nBut news of the discovery has reached Russia - and suddenly Manson finds he no longer makes the rules in this power game. A game in which win or lose means life or death.

The Dornier Do 335 was conceived as a high-speed, all-weather fighter, and represented the pinnacle of piston-engined aircraft design. The Do 335 was a big aircraft, weighing just over 10,000kg when laden with fuel, equipment, and pilot, yet powered by two Daimler-Benz DB 603 engines, it was capable of reaching a maximum speed of 750km/h at 6400 meters, making it the fastest piston engine aircraft produced in Germany during World War II.\n\nSome forty aircraft were built between late 1943 and the end of the war, and it was intended to deploy the type as a day fighter, bomber, night fighter, bad weather interceptor, and reconnaissance aircraft, all of which were intended to incorporate the latest armament, bomb sights, communications, and radar equipment, as well as an ejector seat. Featuring archive photography and specially commissioned artwork, this is the full story of the aircraft that the Luftwaffe hoped would turn the tide of the war.

La Volpe segna il grande ritorno del maestro della spy story moderna che trascina il lettore in una corsa contro il tempo in un intrigo internazionale di agghiacciante realismo e attualità nel mondo dello spionaggio tecnologico.«La volpe dimostra perché dal 1971 in poi non c’è stato un altro autore come Forsyth che distilla thriller con una conoscenza delle regole del gioco non sempre così disponibili ai suoi molti imitatori» - Matteo Persivale, La Lettura\r\n\r\nAdrian Weston, ex capo dei servizi segreti britannici, viene svegliato nel cuore della notte da una telefonata del Primo Ministro che gli comunica una notizia scioccante. Gli impenetrabili sistemi informatici del Pentagono, della CIA e dell'NSA, l'agenzia per la sicurezza nazionale americana, sono stati violati da un nemico sconosciuto subito soprannominato \"la Volpe\". Scatta la caccia all'uomo e, sorprendentemente, si scopre che il responsabile dell'attacco è Luke Jennings, un innocuo adolescente inglese dotato di un'intelligenza fuori dal comune, ignaro delle conseguenze del suo gesto. Gli americani chiedono l'estradizione, ma Wes­ton ha un'idea: se Luke è in grado di fare questo, perché non utilizzarlo a proprio favore contro i nemici dell'Occidente? Il ragazzo dovrà trovare il modo di usare al meglio l'arma più potente e più imprevedibile di tutte, l'unica arma che non è possibile controllare. Nel fare questo però viene inevitabilmente esposto a gravi pericoli e, anche se vive nascosto in un'apposita struttura protetta, diventa l'uomo più ricercato del mondo. Qualunque cosa accada Luke non deve cadere nelle mani sbagliate. Perché ciò che può derivarne è impensabile… La Volpe segna il grande ritorno del maestro della spy story moderna che trascina il lettore in una corsa contro il tempo in un intrigo internazionale di agghiacciante realismo e attualità nel mondo dello spionaggio tecnologico.
