Carte Blanche, by Jeffery Deaver, is a new James Bond novel. James Bond, in his early thirties and already a veteran of the Afghan War, has been recruited to a new organization. This organization operates independent of MI5, MI6 and the Ministry of Defense. Its aim: to protect the Realm, by any means necessary. A Night Action alert calls James Bond away from dinner with a beautiful woman. Headquarters has decrypted an electronic whisper about an attack scheduled for later in the week: casualties estimated in the thousands, British interests adversely affected. And Agent 007 has been given carte blanche.
Against All Enemies, by Tom Clancy, features ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore. Moore has worked across the Middle East and behind the scenes for the Special Activities Division of the CIA. When he arrives at a rendezvous to take charge of a high-ranking Taliban captive, the meeting takes a horrific turn. Moore discovers that the Taliban has come to terms with a vicious Mexican drug cartel for which they will supply opium. It is up to Moore, and his team, to infiltrate and dismantle the drug cartel, even as they hunt for those who would bring terror and destruction to the streets of America.
