#5 Mark Sibley and friends – Apocalypse in Pieces and more from the Mongol Moon Universe
Getting to know a bunch of writers at once is an amazing experience. Read Apocalypse in Pieces and get ready for follow on stories from your favorite authors.
If you enjoyed Mongol Moon and A Dance of Devils but were left with the questions, such as “What is happening in the rest of the United States?” or “heck, what’s happening in the rest of the world?” Apocalypse in Pieces, Volume 1 has the answers.
In the United States, members of a Louisiana VFW fight back, and an Illinois gun shop employee overcomes personal loss to find a purpose. In the hollers of West Virginia, a cagey man holds a secret to an upstate New York nuclear facility, while a hunter becomes the hunted in Washington state. Disabled veterans spring a surprise in South Carolina, and in the mountains of Wyoming, a rustic cabin holds more than it seems.
We peek behind the De-Militarized Zone in North Korea and travel to a US embassy under siege in West Africa. In the frozen wastes of Antarctica, the Warlock initiates his revenge on the Chinese, and in Eastern South Africa, a modern-day battle of Rorke’s Drift plays out with deadly consequence.
The Mongol Moon world returns with new stories told, and more will come in Volume 2. Some of the tales link into the main story at certain spots, but I won’t tell you where—discover it for yourself in the Apocalypse in Pieces, Volume 1.

“A knockout punch of a novel.” —Mark Greaney
Pike Logan uncovers a geopolitical scheme that has spiraled out of control in India in this latest pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor.
While on a routine security assessment in India, Taskforce operator Pike Logan foils an attempted attack on a meeting between the CIA and India’s intelligence service. Both government agencies believe it’s nothing more than a minor terrorist attack, but Pike suspects that something much more sinister is at play. After another terrorist operation at the Taj Mahal, he begins to believe that outside powers are attacking India in the gray zone between peace and war, leveraging terrorist groups for nothing more than economic gain. But the separatists conducting the operations have their own agenda.
After a massive slaughter and kidnapping of hostages during an elaborate Indian pre-wedding party, two global powers are destabilized, and only Pike Logan and his team can de-escalate the tension by rescuing the captives. What follows is a race against the clock that winds through the bustling markets of Old Delhi, the luxurious resorts of Goa, and the epic halls of the Taj Mahal. It will take everything that Logan and the taskforce have to foil an intricate plot that leaves countless lives in the balance.
#2 Steven Konkoly A Hired Kill - May 27
A serial killer draws an FBI agent into an explosive government conspiracy in a white-knuckle thriller by Steven Konkoly, the USA Today bestselling author of A Clean Kill.
After FBI special agent Garrett Mann executes a deadly raid on an underground facility in New Mexico, the sole survivor’s testimony reveals a greater threat to come.
The covert lair was a training ground for hundreds of cartel sicarios, who have since disappeared into the US, their ultimate mission still unknown. When another FBI raid goes catastrophically wrong, Mann finds himself on the trail of the Bureau’s original target—a moonlighting serial killer who leads the agent into a nightmare that’s darker and more extensive than Mann ever feared.
As Mann and his team hunt their fugitive, they find he could have deep ties to powerful government officials. But even as the list of people Mann trusts grows smaller, he must find the killer and blow the heart of this conspiracy wide open before more lives are lost.
#1 Mark Greaney - Midnight Black Feb 18
With his lover imprisoned in a Russian gulag, the Gray Man will stop at nothing to free her in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
A winter sunrise over the great plains of Russia is no cause for celebration. The temperature barely rises above zero, and the guards at Penal Colony IK22 are determined to take their misery out on the prisoners--chief among them, one Zoya Zakharova. Once a master spy for Russian foreign intelligence, then the partner and lover of the Gray Man, she has information the Kremlin wants, and they don't care what they have to do to get it
But if they think a thousand miles of frozen wasteland and the combined power of the Russian police state is enough to protect them, they don't know the Gray Man. He's coming, and no one's safe.
Honorable Mention – I’d be nuts not to add by fall 2025 publication of Code Name Snowman. It’s a new series with a protagonist I think you will like. She has a problem to solve, and the threats keep mounting until she has a choice to make, her life or tens of thousands. I’m working with the amazing Michael Dolan and Winding Road Stories.
