A dark side with few boundaries--and even fewer loyalties.Black Flagged lays the foundation for a gritty, high-octane series exploring the serpentine link between covert operations and government agency politics.THE BLACK FLAGGED SERIES:Book 1: ALPHABook 2: REDUXBook 3: APEXBook 4: VEKTORBook 5: OMEGABook 6: VINDICTASEE BELOW FOR CURRENT TIE-IN'S TO THE BLACK FLAGGED BOOKS.THE ZULU VIRUS CHRONICLES:This series is named after the virus introduced (created by rogue scientist Dr. Anatoly Reznikov) in REDUX (Book 2). “ZVC” takes place roughly a decade and a half after the core series ends. I originally designed this series as an alternate universe, where the virus that turned a Russian city inside-out, was finally launched in the United States by the domestic terrorists that commissioned its creation (See APEX, Book 3). The Zulu Virus Chronicles features a mass-scale bioweapons attack against America, perpetrated by domestic terrorists. Several Black Flag operatives show up to try and “save the day” in the series (2nd and 3rd book), including Richard Farrington and the Petroviches.THE DEVIN GRAY BOOKS:DEEP SLEEP, the first book in my latest series, centers around a Russian sleeper conspiracy, on a magnitude never previously explored in the espionage genre. I don’t say that lightly. It truly takes the sleeper concept to the next level—and who better to help Devin Gray take down this network than Karl Berg, who is drawn into the plot early and plays a key role throughout. Black Flagged fans will absolutely love the crossover in this series. Richard Farrington. Scott Daly. Melendez. Miralles. So many more. It’s a must read for Black Flagged readers. This series takes place before ZVC.THE RYAN DECKER BOOKS:I seem to have a penchant for “hard luck” protagonists who need help, and the Ryan Decker series is no exception—though Decker manages to get through the third book without needing the Black Flag crew. That said, the conspiracy he unravels in the third book leads to a “reckoning” of sorts in the final book of the series, and there’s no way to take down APEX Industries without some serious outside help. Enter…a small crew of trusted (well known to Black Flagged fans) mercenaries. _________________________________________________________________________________Steven's novels are recommended for fans of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Brad Taylor's Pike Logan, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, L.T.
