Pirate LatitudesJamaica in 1665 is a rough outpost of the English crown, a minor colony holding out against the vast supremacy of the Spanish empire. Port Royal, Jamaica′s capital, a cut-throat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy houses, is devoid of London′s luxuries; life here can end swiftly with dysentery or a dagger in your back. But for Captain Charles Hunter it is a life that can also lead to riches, if he abides by the island′s code. In the name of His Majesty King Charles II of England, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking. And law in the New World is made by those who take it into their hands. Word in port is that the Spanish treasure galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, is stalled in nearby Matanceros harbor awaiting repairs. Heavily fortified, the impregnable Spanish outpost is guarded by the blood-swiller Cazalla, a favorite commander of King Philip IV himself. With the governor′s backing, Hunter assembles a roughneck crew to infiltrate the enemy island and commandeer the galleon, along with its fortune in Spanish gold. The raid is as perilous as the bloody legends of Matanceros suggest, and Hunter will lose more than one man before he finds himself on the island′s shores, where dense jungle and the firepower of Spanish infantry are all that stand between him and the treasure. With the help of his cunning crew, Hunter hijacks El Trinidad and escapes the deadly clutches of Cazalla, leaving plenty of carnage in his wake. But his troubles have just begun. . . .

Dawn Strike
IN THE HOT, HUMID AIR A THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE Ucayali region of the western Amazon jungle, the gleaming skins of four F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter aircraft blazed pink with the first rays of dawn. Headed east, the jets roared at roughly the speed of sound directly toward a breathtaking orange-red eye rising over a vista of roiling green jungle. A thin expanse of mist rose over it all. The early-morning dew was evaporating, beading the silver jets with streaks of moisture.
The labyrinthine interior of the jungle below had remained impenetrable to wave upon wave of human civilization. It was a place where countless explorers had spent centuries searching in vain for mysterious artifacts.
Now, one had finally appeared.
No mist rose near the anomaly, only a foreboding pall of smoke trickling up from smoldering tree branches. After a series of mitotic growth events, the structure had stabilized on satellite footage as a long, slightly curved wall soaring nearly three hundred feet high at its center. On its northern side, a stagnant brown lake had formed where the river was blocked. A narrow shaft rose straight out of the water, a surreal sight at more than three-quarters of a mile tall. To the south, a stream ran out from under the obstacle, tracing a glittering trail along the wide banks of its former route.
Over six thousand miles away, General Stern stood in the wings of the launch control center in Peterson Air Force Base. The room had been built to accommodate the occasional public performance, with a viewing area for dignitaries or politicians to be photographed triumphantly overseeing a successful launch. At the rear, a pair of discreet doors allowed such celebrities to disappear without photo opportunities if things were to go explosively wrong, as they so often did.
It was after 3:00 a.m., yet the control center was crowded with experts of all kinds. Each of them had been called in to ensure the maximum probability of success for what was admittedly a desperate plan.
To that end, Stern had seized dedicated clearance from the CIA for the spectacularly expensive NIX-3 series reconnaissance satellite cluster. So far, the sensors had detected alarming levels of growth from the anomaly, and no trace of the Wildfire field team. The scientists had been lost somewhere between their last contact with the ISS and the anomaly perimeter.
Lost . . . and now, eighteen hours after a missed rendezvous, categorically presumed dead.
With a live view of the dark anomaly, the plan was to drop stripes of napalm along its outer edges. The infected area would be cauterized, isolated from the living jungle. Napalm would be followed by a payload of classified inhibitor substance—with the hope that it would shrink the structure, or at least ensure it didn’t start growing again.

The plan was desperate for a variety of reasons.
First, it broke quarantine and potentially exposed the aircraft and pilots to a highly infectious strain of Andromeda. Second, executing an airstrike on foreign soil was the definition of an
