The Cyclops Initiative

Jim Chapel Missions #3 / 3
by David Wellington
The Cyclops Initiative (Jim Chapel Missions #3) by David Wellington
Unrated

To save an innocent friend, soldier and spy Jim Chapel will risk his own life and reputation to stop a deadly conspiracy from threatening the country in this relentless, non-stop action adventure from the author of the acclaimed thrillers Chimera and The Hydra Protocol.

Jim Chapel pledged his life to protect his country from its enemies. But now, the one-armed Special Forces soldier turned spy is on the wrong side of the law. The person he trusts most in the world, the brilliant hacker known only as Angel, is suspected of terrorism. When his boss calls for Angel’s arrest, Chapel — certain it’s a frame job — has only one option: to go rogue.

To protect Angel — a woman he’s never actually met — Chapel must clear her name. But first he has to find her, before a deadly Marine sniper, a drone aircraft gone feral, and the entire intelligence community closes in. With the aid of old friends and his ex-lover Julia, the search to find who framed Angel leads Chapel deep into the dark and lethal underbelly of the covert intelligence world... to a conspiracy with deep roots that shocks even this hardened veteran — and a plan that will destroy the United States as we know it if it succeeds.

David Wellington

David Wellington is a master of blending terror with humanity, crafting stories that make readers question what lurks beneath the surface of everyday life. Known for his innovative approach to horror, Wellington has carved out a unique space for himself in the genre, drawing on his extensive background in writing thrillers and speculative fiction. His works often merge the supernatural with the deeply personal, weaving narratives that are as emotionally resonant as they are spine-chilling.

Born in the United States, Wellington was drawn to storytelling from an early age, fascinated by the darker corners of literature and film. His early influences include everything from the works of Stephen King to the pulse-pounding tension of classic thrillers. It’s no surprise that his own books resonate with those who crave both the macabre and the relatable, filled with characters who are just as likely to be battling inner demons as they are facing literal ones.

David’s breakthrough came with the Monster Island series, a post-apocalyptic saga that introduced readers to a world overrun by zombies. But where many stories of the undead focus on gore and chaos, Wellington's writing stands out for its emotional depth, exploring survival, morality, and the complexity of human relationships in a world falling apart. This unique angle has earned him a loyal following, drawn to both his fast-paced, page-turning plots and the emotional stakes woven into every narrative.

What sets David Wellington apart is his ability to take familiar genre tropes and turn them on their head. Whether exploring apocalyptic horror, supernatural thrillers, or darker dystopian tales, his work is as much about exploring the psychology of his characters as it is about the horror that haunts them. It’s a tension that keeps readers on edge, not just with every shocking twist, but with the lingering sense that the true terror might lie within the characters themselves.

With a passion for both world-building and creating characters readers can’t help but root for—even as they face impossible odds—Wellington has become a staple in the world of modern horror and thriller fiction. Whether you’re drawn to his Monster series or his more recent ventures into supernatural thrillers, David Wellington’s ability to combine horror with humanity will keep you up late at night, questioning what you would do when the world turns dark.

His works are not just for fans of horror—they are for those who appreciate stories that push the boundaries of what fiction can do, delivering chills, thrills, and a deep dive into the human soul.

David Wellington also writes books under the pseudonym of D. Nolan Clark.
