Black Fleet Crisis

By Conor Bender

A pulse-pounding military thriller for fans of Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney, and Jack Carr. Authentic operators. Global stakes. Tomorrow's war, today.

One coordinated attack on America's black fleet.
Two estranged operators.
A race to prevent a global war.

The USNS Seay burns in Rota, Spain--the victim of a terrorist strike that guts a cornerstone of U.S. military logistics and cripples America's ability to reinforce Europe.

Worse: in the chaos, a next-generation cyber warfare drone disappears.

Former Marine and special activities operator Shaw Carradine walked away from military service and meant it. But when the stolen drone puts his cousin's defense firm in the crosshairs of the U.S. government, standing aside isn't an option.

Shaw's only viable partner is the last man he trusts: CIA case officer Marcus "Bantam" Roberts, the teammate he hasn't spoken to since a black-ops mission collapsed in blood and silence.

As they hunt for the drone, the dominoes begin to fall. Coordinated strikes tear through American military infrastructure across Europe. The truth becomes clear--the Seay was no isolated hit. It was the opening move.

Behind the attacks is a network of Russian ultranationalists wielding precision sabotage, bleeding-edge technology, and a weapon designed not to win battles--but to paralyze nations.

As the West scrambles and old enemies take aim at one another, Shaw and Bantam race to stop the next strike--knowing failure won't end in mere retaliation.

It will end in all out war.
