Unrated

A joint U.S.- Russian Special Forces raid against a hidden laboratory yields an alarming discovery. Anatoly Reznikov, the deranged bioweapons scientist stolen from U.S. custody a few years earlier, vanished minutes before the attack--taking his deadly work with him.

In the United States, Beltway power brokers grapple withTrue America's surprise presidential win, finding the new administration to be anything but easy to work with. Karl Berg, demoted within the CIA due to the sudden shift in agency leadership, seeks to stay out of trouble, and retire quietly--a task he finds impossible when news of Reznikov's near-capture unofficially reaches his desk.

Oblivious to the growing threats domestic and abroad, Daniel and Jessica Petrovich finalize their plan to abandon the "Black Flag" business for good, only to have it delayed by close-hitting news. A last minute trip to the United States drags them closer to an unfolding plot in the heart of Washington D.C.
A plot connected to everyone and everything the Petrovich's have touched. A diabolical conspiracy none of them saw coming--AND ONLY ONE GROUP CAN STOP!

Steven Konkoly

Before Steven Konkoly ever crafted his first tightly-wound thriller, he was navigating real-world tension aboard naval ships and behind the scenes of military intelligence. His background as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and intelligence officer didn’t just inform his fiction—it gave it teeth. The kind that bite with precision, pacing, and a steady pulse of dread that lingers long after the mission ends.

Konkoly’s novels, whether they delve into the shadowy corridors of covert government operations or the chilling realism of societal collapse, are rooted in a rare kind of authenticity. His thrillers don’t just move fast—they move smart. Characters operate in murky moral waters, facing decisions where the right answer isn’t always clear, and trust is as dangerous as any weapon. From The Black Flagged series to The Perseid Collapse, his work examines what happens when systems fail and people are forced to navigate the fallout with little more than instinct and grit.

But what makes his books resonate beyond the action is the quiet intensity beneath the surface—moments where personal stakes collide with global consequences, and even the most hardened protagonists are forced to reckon with the cost of survival. There’s an intimacy to the chaos, a sense that the story could hit closer to home than we’d like to admit.

Writing from his home in Maine, Konkoly balances technical precision with visceral emotion. His stories echo with the voice of someone who’s been close to danger, who understands both its draw and its damage. That tension—the push and pull between control and collapse—is what keeps readers coming back, page after page.
