"A stolen shipment of military hardware. A Russian mercenary group operating on American soil. Compromised nuclear launch codes.
But whose finger is on the trigger?
Kade's got little time to piece together the mystery inherited from his former Russian asset. But as he recuperates from his injuries, he soon discovers he's the one who has been assigned a handler.
He's put on the hunt for the stolen shipment of missiles. A small part of an arsenal being assembled for an unknown purpose. When the trail leads him to a ghost from his past, he's drawn back into a war he thought he'd left behind in the ashes of Fort Black.
The deep cover assignment threatens to unravel his quest for justice. And the son of Hiram Black might finally be forced to reclaim his broken throne."
"Lured back to his boyhood Montana home, Kade's trip down memory lane isn't all fresh asphalt and sunny skies. Someone's been busy around Fort Black.
The Storm Z is rallying—the international mercenary group known for their Russian ties is now a rogue element with access to compromised nuclear codes. All signs indicate an imminent launch.
Then there are the shadowy criminal links to a secretive cabal. Mob ties. Cartel funding. The main suspect's identity lost in a dizzying blitz of false intelligence that points directly at Kade.
He's got little time to find the culprit, a madman intent on extreme destruction. But the nationwide dragnet to stop Kade is closing in.
Intent on going it alone, Kade doesn't know he still has allies. In San Francisco, Harper launches an independent investigation under the watchful eye of her new minders. Suspended from the FBI, she'll be forced to work outside the law to unravel the mysterious events surrounding Sergei's death.
Harper risks losing her badge for good. And as Kade delves into the shadows of the glacial peaks of Montana, he'll unearth secrets long buried and be forced to wrestle with an uncomfortable truth:
Was Hiram right all along?"
"Former special agent Kade Black knows his adversaries well. He's shadowed terrorists, spies, and mafia bosses.
But he's never had to confront all three at once.
Kade's latest clue has him watching a new dead drop serviced by the late GRU operative, Sergei. But this drop is inactive. No sign of use.
Another intelligence agency has arrived in Sergei's wake. Far from a clandestine operation, agents of the PRC are moving around in the open. Forcing their way into small town politics and flirting with criminal enterprise. But to what end?
The answers will expose a very different gap along the banks of the Delaware River. An intelligence gap. One that puts global security at risk.
With the identity of a key conspirator in Sergei's operation close at hand, Kade will need to root out the bad actors, dead or alive. For that, he'll need the help of friends and foes alike.
But has this shadowy cabal already exacted their deadly toll?"
"Kade's search for justice meets the storm of the century. Snowed in at a campground in the isolated community of Three Rivers, he's no longer a wanted man just another trapped tourist. He does his best to help. Tries to fit in. Even finds a welcome place to rest his head.
But he's not the only stranger in town. Along the dangerous road known as Mineral King lies a fortress-like hacienda. A recent purchase by a man tied inextricably to Kade's past. A ruthless cartel warlord who's got a plan to take over the unincorporated town and turn it into his personal fiefdom.
Stopping him could very well be the thing that ends the FBI career Kade's fought so hard to restore. And his life.
In the mountains, another storm is brewing. A fight to see who will be named King. But they'll have to go through Kade first."
"Battered. Wounded. Former Special Agent Kade Black isn't about to give up on the quest to prove his innocence. The trail leads him to the unforgiving deserts of Nevada. A harsh landscape where only the toughest survive.
His next clue is buried deep. Sunken in the depths of Lake Mead. But these waters hold secrets never again meant to see the light of day.
To uncover the next piece of the puzzle left by a cagey Russian operative, Kade will face a threat created before the glittering lights of Sin City lit the remote reservoir's horizon. A bloodsport dating back to the Gold Rush and reinvented for the Digital Age.
He must make a gamble with his very life as the stakes. A sadistic mobster stands in his way and a twisted contest meant to be the ultimate game of survival.
Is Kade tough enough to take the prize? Or will he end up like the rest, in over his head?"
"Former FBI Special Agent Kade Black is wanted for a crime he didn't commit. The kind of crime handled outside the normal courts of law. Renditions. Interrogations. A cryptic trail left by a dead Russian double agent is his only hope.
When the trail leads him to the rugged Oregon coast in his battered RV, Kade isn't the only surprise for the sleepy little town. There's a body on the beach. Signs of a horrific ritual killing. Kade soon discovers he's the only one who can solve this grisly murder.
Meanwhile, his former colleagues, an elite FBI surveillance unit, are closing in. He's got little time to solve the murder and collect the evidence he needs to prove his innocence.
But inside him, a devil stirs. One that threatens to change his quest for justice into pure revenge. This new case will awaken the dark legacy haunting him. Remind him of the unforgiving world he was born to behind the walls of a remote militia compound known only as Fort Black.
Will Kade stay loyal to his oath? Or will he succumb to the vengeful blood running through his veins?
Either way, one thing is certain: with vigilante Kade Black on the hunt, the guilty will pay."
