Book 1 in the OFFSHORE Series

CIA Director Will Harlock has a secret: Working off-the-books, using the CIA as a cover and also working from an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, he reigns over OFFSHORE--the smallest, most elite, and most secret intelligence organization in the world. With a handful of eclectic agents, he oversees an operation to discover what is behind a secret cargo that poses huge danger to the public. America’s future is at stake. Will America survive—or will it crash and burn like the Roman Empire?

In Episode One, US Director of Central Intelligence Will Harlock barely survives an assassination attempt in Mexico. Now he must find out who is trying to kill him and why—before it’s too late. But he soon finds out that he is not the only one who has been targeted.

Chuck Brandt is beginning a new life, a quiet life of delivering relief supplies to Haiti by cargo ship, but a tragedy changes everything, forcing him back into the paranoid life he was seeking to leave behind. A cabal of assassins turns his existence into a deadly world of explosive violence on the run, a high-stakes survival game to thwart a diabolical plot. The seedy world of Seattle becomes maze of harrowing excitement where deranged obsession drives non-stop action and suspense.

When Kay Evan gets her first job as a private investigator, she has mixed emotions because she will have less time with her daughter. However, that soon becomes the least of her concerns when she realizes she’s in over her head and the bigger question is will she see her daughter again—ever.

In Washington DC, Lionel Ratlif, the lowly official House Doorman of the US Capitol, has been involved in secret activities that could bring down some of the most powerful men alive. However, he soon realizes that he's like a gold fish which finds itself all alone in a sea of corruption, at the bottom of the food chain, surrounded by predators. Survival will not be easy, but he must survive because his secrets can shake the capitol to the core—and save a nation.
