Books in the Spectre series

Determined to find out the truth behind the kidnapping of the President on Midway Island, a prominent U.S. Senator has enlisted the help of Cal "Spectre" Martin and Special Agent Michelle Decker. But when an F-35 crash hits close to home for the Senator, Spectre and Decker are redirected to investigate. As Spectre begins to peel back the layers of the mishap, a bomb is detonated on base and Spectre is the only suspect. With Spectre in jail and people on the inside trying to kill him, Decker finds herself in a race against time - to uncover the truth, prove Spectre's innocence, and take down the man responsible before it's too late. As the truth is uncovered, Spectre and Decker must fight to bring down the man's organization and bury him in the rubble - brick by brick.

Imagine a capitalist paradise. An island utopia governed solely by the rules of the market and inspired by the fictions of Ayn Rand and Robinson Crusoe. Sound far-fetched? It may not be. The past half century is littered with the remains of such experiments in what RaymondCraibcalls libertarian exit. Often dismissed as little more than the dreams of crazy, rich Caucasians, exit strategies have been tried out from the southwest Pacific to the Caribbean, from the North Sea to the high seas, often with dire consequences for local inhabitants. Based on research in archives in the US, the UK, and Vanuatu, as well as in FBI files acquired through the Freedom of Information Act,Craibexplores in careful detail the ideology and practice of libertarian exit and its place in the histories of contemporary capitalism, decolonization, empire, and oceans and islands.Adventure Capitalismis a global history that intersects with an array of figures: Fidel Castro and the Koch brothers, American segregationists and Melanesian socialists, Honolulu-based real estate speculators and British Special Branch spies, soldiers of fortune and English lords, Orange County engineers and Tongan navigators, CIA operatives and CBS news executives, and a new breed of techno-utopians and an old guard of Honduran coup leaders. This is not only a history of our time but, given the new iterations of privatized exitseasteads, free private cities, and space colonizationit is also a history of our future.
