At the center of the storm is Ian Ballard, whose life depends upon being able to clear his name.

Night of Error: When Mark Trevelyan dies on a journey to a remote Pacific atoll, the verdict that it was natural causes doesn't convince his brother Mike, and his suspicions grow after a series of violent attacks. His only two clues - a notebook in code and a lump of rock - lead him on a hazardous expedition far from civilization.

Juggernaut: Longer than a football pitch, weighing 550 tons, and moving at just five miles per hour, the juggernaut's job - and that of troubleshooter Neil Mannix - is to move a giant transformer across an oil-rich African state. When civil war erupts, the juggernaut is at the center of the conflict, a target of ambush and threat, with no way to run and nowhere to hide.
