Reading Ahead: September 2018, part 2

Looking for a new title from some of the big names on the best-seller's list? Here are few to keep an eye out for next month.

Shadow Tyrants, by Clive Cussler & Boyd Morrison. This solid 13th entry into Cussler's Oregon series pits chairman of the Corporation Juan Cabrillo (the Corporation being a private ops that aids the CIA in difficult missions) against a secret cabal called the Nine Unknown. The cabal members possess ancient knowledge which could be used to take over the world. Eight of the Nine have voted to implement a plan known as Colossus, which would make them rulers of the world. The one dissenter, however, believes Colossus would mean the end of humanity. Cabrillo and crew must race to stop Colossus before the plan can begin to unfold.
Also available in Large Print.

Vince Flynn's Red War, by Kyle Mills. Russian president Maxim Krupin is determined to maintain his leadership position, despite a recent diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor. His first task, of course, it to begin killing off or imprisoning any potential rivals. Soon, however, Krupin sets his sights on something more diverting: war with the West. The CIA director knows that the US is up against an enemy with nothing to lose, and that the only way to pull the plug on global war is to send Mitch Rapp in to take out the most powerful, dangerous, well-guarded man in Russia.

Juror 3, by James Patterson and Nancy Allen. This new legal thriller from Patterson finds Ruby Bozarth new both to Rosedale, MS and the Mississippi Bar. In short order, she's tasked with defending an African American college football star accused of murdering the daughter of one of Rosedale's most prominent families. Because Ruby's still green, the judge thinks that a conviction is a sure thing, but Ruby's got some help by her side, even as she faces a jury with secrets of their own.
