"China has a plan for the next hundred years, and they're making moves around the world for complete domination politically and economically. When this situation suddenly becomes clear to Jake Adams in a very personal way, he and Sirena are forced to depart their sedate life on Pico Island in the Azores. Jake quickly discovers that his life could change forever, or suddenly end, if he allows the Chinese to seek total hegemony. He must gather his strength for a life or death battle to counter evil forces. But China will not go quietly without a fight. After all, they have found choke points around the world and covertly developed military bases to control vital shipping lanes, from the Strait of Malacca to the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal. Will the world finally wake up and avert the threat? Or, will Jake and Sirena find themselves alone in this fight for supremacy?"
"Jake Adams is living on Pico Island in The Azores with his girlfriend Sirena, the former Israeli CIA officer. When he is called back to work with Spanish billionaire, Carlos Gomez, Jake is not completely on board with this mission. Something isn't adding up with his job to track down a hacker last known to be in the autonomous Basque Country of Spain. Jake and Sirena quickly discover that they are not alone in search of this hacker who has been on the run for more than a decade. Nearly every police and intel agency in the world wants this hacker, due to both actions and words against various regimes. One person's free speech is another country's sedition. Some want the hacker in jail, while others want him dead. Follow Jake and Sirena as they track down this wanted man around the world. Could this be Jake's last mission?"
"Jake Adams, morose and distraught, has isolated himself on the frigid island of Iceland during the heart of the Aurora Borealis. Again, he considers retiring and drifting into an alcoholic coma. But then he is summoned back to work for Spanish billionaire and benefactor, Carlos Gomez. Jake doesn't hesitate to help. Young women are disappearing in South America, and Jake now understands how that would impact him if his daughter had been taken. With the help of his old friends, Jake heads to Argentina to take up the search. Jake quickly discovers this case is more than the simple abduction of young women. A shadowy cabal of criminals has built a covert network of corruption that will make the Panama Papers look like the ramblings of a child. Can Jake and friends unravel this sophisticated network and save the girls? Can he also save himself in the process?"
"Jake Adams is pulled back into the shadow game in central Europe, where a young Austrian Polizei woman has gone missing. Jake saved Anika Senka when she was a young girl, a refugee from the Balkan Wars of the 90s. Now, a murder in Innsbruck, Austria and the disappearance of his young friend, draws Jake into a case of international intrigue. He barely gets to Austria when the shooting begins, and Jake quickly realizes this is not a simple missing person case. The complex world of countries in the European Union clash with underworld organizations exploiting a void of normalcy. With Sirena at Jake's side, they must navigate this new world and peel away the layers of bureaucracy as they battle complicit governments and opportunistic organized criminals, turning normally sedate Alpine villages into a war zone. Will Jake survive his own frustrations, along with the bullets of his enemies?"
"Aidan Collins has his very first large case when his client, Marina Vasiliev, a drop-dead gorgeous mental patient, is accused of killing her wealthy husband. Marina insists that she didn't do it, but Aidan can't trust her.
After all, he met Marina in the mental hospital–he originally obtained her as a client when she was involuntarily committed, and he assisted her with getting out.
Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, Marina's view of reality shifts from day to day.
Marina has no memory of what happened the night that her husband died.
He makes the decision that the best way to defend her would be to try for the insanity defense. His client is not on board with this decision, and, to make things worse, she begins to imagine him as her lover, which turns his professional relationship with her upside down.
However, once Aidan gets more into the case, he begins to doubt that his decision to try for the insanity defense was a sound one. Before long, Aidan feels that his reality is shifting as much as his client.
Aidan can never be sure that he's doing the right thing in using the insanity defense. An eleventh hour witness throws his entire trial strategy into disarray."
"The world has increasingly become a volatile hotbed of terrorism. Europe is ground zero. And Italy is the next target. But Italy has also been the home of Jake Adams for the past few years. When Jake is asked by his billionaire Spanish benefactor to investigate a situation, he has no idea he will be joining forces with a Malavita captain from Calabria. With a new baby daughter, Jake is a bit hesitant to get back in the game. Yet, his girlfriend Alexandra urges him to act, as long as she can help. She's been out of the spy game for a while and is anxious to do something other than change diapers. Meanwhile, the Italian government seems paralyzed to inaction, uncertain how to deal with their shores being flooded with boatloads of refugees. Where there is chaos, there are those who will exploit the situation. Now, Jake must sift through the disparate entities to convert anarchy into justice."
"Jake Adams is called back to the CIA to secure the rescue of an operative kidnapped in the Baltics, and who is missing across the border in Russia. As soon as he gets to Estonia, he quickly realizes the Russians are up to their old Cold War tricks. The Kremlin has sent tanks through Belarus and continues to fly warplanes into sovereign territory, while cruising warships off the coast of the Baltic nations. Will the Russians invade the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania? If so, will NATO invoke Article Five of its charter, where an attack on one is an attack on all? Jake becomes embroiled in a complex battle over hegemony of the Baltic States that could finally force NATO to do something about an increasingly belligerent Russian leadership. For Jake, this time it's personal."

In fact, Remington has managed to hide for nearly a month without the Agency, Interpol, or any foreign agencies discovering his location. Jake finds himself in Taiwan, where he is attacked almost immediately and set up as a murderer. At the same time, a Chinese jet attacks a Taiwanese Navy ship, bringing the two Chinese countries to the brink of war.

Follow Jake in his most poignant adventure that could either end his life or save his own soul."
