Covert-Ops: Danger on the Island (Book 2) throws Steve and the team back into the shadows, this time on British soil, where the beaches, woods, and quiet lanes of the Isle of Wight hide something far more dangerous than local trouble. Several months after the brutal mission on St Halb, Steve has money in his pocket, a new lodge, the same chronic PTSD, and the same itch for danger. Civilian life is too quiet. The nightmares remain. The anger still sits close to the surface. Then Simon brings him another job.

Covert-Ops: The Golden Camel (Book 3) drives Steve Barker’s covert-ops team out of Britain and into the heat, dust, and corruption of Oman, where a missing man, a criminal labour racket, and an oilfield island become the centre of a brutal rescue mission. The story opens in the aftermath of Danger on the Island, with Steve, Simon, and George still being dragged into police questioning over the bloodshed in America Woods. The heat is getting too close, but Steve already has a plan to shift attention elsewhere.

Covert-Ops: The Extraction (Book 4) drops Steve Barker’s covert-ops team into a hostage rescue that begins beneath the Caribbean sun and mutates into something far wider, darker, and more personal. Steve and Lucy are stepping off a cruise in San Juan when the mission begins to close around them. The rest of the team—Simon, George, and Derek—are already waiting, half-ready for a drink, fully ready for trouble.
