In the wilds of Montana lies the prison on Blackbone Mountain, a secret base where German prisoners of war are incarcerated. Outside its gun towers and barbed wire World War II still rages. Inside, another war is brewing. Evil has already penetrated its strong defenses. Lieutenant Rolf Kirst miraculously survived a U-boat bombing, only to find himself taken as a prisoner of war by the Americans. But what happened to him in the two days he floated at sea forever changed him. Major David Gilman is a hot-headed commander assigned to lead at Blackbone, but one more mistake could cost him his career. Both men find their lives linked by war, and by an insidious evil that is inside the detention camp. The Germans prisoners believe Kirst to be a spy; the Americans fear his unknown power. When his true secret is discovered, the commanders and prisoners at Blackbone will never be the same again_that is, if they survive.

It's a mystery that dates back to World War II--what happened to the USS Sturman and its crew. For Naval Investigator Nicholas Hammond, the search will challenge him_and the answers will, like bodies floating on the ocean, chill him. It begins with a man waking, screaming. A series of memories have shaken him, "something to do with the Navy." For another man, his child-like drawings of men holding hands in frightened unity shatter his sanity. What both men share is fear. Enter Hammond, cocksure and independent, assigned to find the link between these incidents and the disappearance of the Sturman. Was it a last act of war from a defeated enemy, or was it something more sinister_an experiment gone wrong from within? Fast-paced, intricately plotted, THIN AIR is a thriller that defies time.
