Catch the Zolt - The Debt: Instalment One (Phillip Gwynne)


Catch the Zolt - The Debt: Instalment One
Phillip Gwynne

Blurb: 
Pay the debt or lose a found of flesh.


It's a beautiful day in paradise. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And Dom Silvangni, indifferent student and elite middle distance runner, is turning fifteen.

But instead of cake and candles, Dom receives an unlikely gift. An ancient family debt to an organisation so secretive and powerful, they are non-negoitable: Dom must master six Herculean tasks or they'll take a pound of flesh.

Before long Dom has his first instalment - Catch the Zolt - the seventeen-year-old Facebook Bandit with a penchant for stealing light aircraft. But getting close to the Zolt means being nice to the smug, self-obsessed Tristan...and involving Imogen, the only girl close to Dom's heart.

The more Dom discovers, the less he seems to know. Only one thing is clear. The Debt want their payment...now!

Debt of Honour - Jack Ryan Series #8 (Tom Clancy)


Debt of Honour (Jack Ryan Series #8)
Tom Clancy

Blurb: Called out of retirement to serve as the new President's National Security Adviser, Jack Ryan quickly realises that that problems of peace are fully as complex as those of war. Enemies have become friends, friends, enemies, and even the form of conflict has changed. When one of those new enemies readies a strike not only at America's territory, but at the heart of her economy, it is Ryan who must somehow prepare an untested President to meet the challenge. For there is a debt of honour to be paid - and the price will be terrifyingly high.
