The Serpent's Shadow - Gregory, Margaret

. .

Résumé :
Book One Protecting a Prince Janna had put aside her fledgling feelings for Crown Prince Ali of Jakhabad until he came to America to find her. By then, though, it was too late to hope for a happy ever after with him. His Uncle, Prince Jabir, a terrorist leader and the usurper of the Crown of Jakhabad, ensured she had been deported from that country with no shred of a reputation left. But the feelings were still there, and while openly helping him would make them both targets, as a woman with no reputation, she might just save him from his uncle's assassins. Book Two Thrust into Treason Former cyber-criminal and computer genius, Erin Mason, is the perfect person to help find out who was selling tech secrets on the black market. With the control system for a top-secret new spy satellite as bait, Erin's power regulator sub-routine is the keystone of the program. When a powerful foreign buyer grows impatient for the completed program, Erin ends up as part of the merchandise. It is up to her to use her wits and computer skills to prevent a terrifying misuse of the stolen program when a misstep could lead to death. Book Three Deposing a Dictator When the leader of the terrorist Cobra Sect gains control of stolen software capable of high-jacking a new spy satellite, the potential to use it to for targeting missile strikes is extreme. With the whole world at risk, Jim Phillips and his covert mission team are challenged to neutralise the threat. However, for team member Wanda Martin, the mission is personal. Both her cousin and a friend are being kept in the palace usurped by the terrorist leader. To depose the dictator, the team risk exposure at every step as they use their target's weakness to force him to make critical mistakes.
