This elite squad of soldiers carries out secret military missions around the globe. Here are two of the team's incredible war stories. Sand Spider: As Lieutenant Commander Ryan Cross and the soldiers of Shadow Squadron welcome their female member to the team, Cross receives an urgent call from a powerful senator demanding assistance in saving his kidnapped son. Black Anchor: The Shadow Squadron is faced with a diplomatic nightmare: A Chinese oil rig in Cuban waters has been taken over by American mercenaries, and it is up to Ryan Cross and his men to get there before the Cuban military and avoid an international incident.

Sergeant Edgar Brighton awakens to a pounding headache. As the blur of unconsciousness fades from his eyes, he sees an unfamiliar woman staring back at him. He tries to speak, but discovers that he's been gagged. He tries to stand and, but finds that his hands and feet have been bound. And when the woman begins to blindfold him, Edgar realizes that his troubles have only just begun.

A Chinese oil rig platform in Cuban waters has been hijacked, forcing Shadow Squadron to intervene. But before Lt. Cross and his men can board the black anchor, they get some startling intel: the mercenaries are American, and they've taken hostages. Even worse, the Cuban military is on its way, and they have no concern for the lives of anyone onboard.

Jak and her robotic servant, Cow, are in a pickle; Mom wants Jak to sell Cow for scrap, but Cow and Jak have become best friends. So instead of selling the rusty old robot for spare change, Jak strikes a bargain with the scrap collector: if Jak and Cow can visit the Cloud Kingdom via the Space Elevator and get hold of some magic nano-beans, Jak can keep Cow safe and sound. But what they find in space is anything but safe - and its sounds are far from soothing...

It was just another day on the BMX street course for Billy Cruz. He lunged down the pipe, rode the ramp high into the air and tweaked his bike for a perfect Superman, when suddenly he lost his grip on the seat. Cruz hit the concrete hard, and wound up in hospital with several broken bones. Six long weeks later, Billy finally got back on his bike. But now, he couldn't help but hold back a bit on his tricks, and his scores were starting to suffer. To add insult to injury, Billy's best friend, Penny, had been acting strange since the accident.

Loki, the god of mischief, is Thor s troublesome adopted brother. Odin, their father (and ruler of the Viking gods), orders the quarrelsome siblings to tame the violent Giants once and for all together. But what Loki and Thor find in their series of adventures puts them in conflict with each other as well as with the giants. And in the land of Utgard, a mysterious place made from magic and illusion, Thor must trust his magic-wielding and misbehaving brother in order to get out alive. Likewise, Loki must count on his brother s unmatched strength if he, too, hopes to survive their encounters with the Giants. Each book in this series features educational back matter, writing prompts, discussion questions, and a glossary. And each book in this graphic novel series is sure to engage readers with the weird and wonderful Norse Myths."

When a video surfaces of a man making terrorist demands, Shadow Squadron is tasked with finding answers. With the help of an ex-teammate, Lieutenant Commander Ryan Cross discovers that the speaker is a former American soldier and a member of the original Shadow Squadron. Although the team is eager to capture a traitor, the situation is not what it seems."
