Kyle Monroe is one of this exclusive fraternity. Still recovering from a mission gone disastrously wrong, Monroe requests a field assignment and is paired with a partner and dispatched to Pakistan, instructed to take out a prominent member of al Qaeda.

The second book in the series revolving around one of the most fascinating professions within the armed forces––the sniper. This time the shooters head to Romania to stop a dangerous terrorist cell before it's too late. 
 Master snipers Kyle Monroe and his partner Wade got more than they bargained for on their last adventure––an assignment to knock out a powerful terrorist leader in Pakistan. Their new assignment takes them to Romania, a new land with all–too–familiar enemies. Although the men are still haunted by the team–mates they lost in Pakistan, duty comes first, and it's time to put the past behind them, strap on their rifles and go take out some bad guys.
 Military snipers are the best in the world at what they do––precision shooting without getting caught. But the skill required to shoot a man from a mile away becomes useless in the densely packed streets of the city that used to be the home of the historical Count Dracula. Finding themselves alone in the dark, foreboding tunnels beneath the notorious Count's former castle, their nerves of steel face the ultimate test. And as they get closer to the men responsible for plotting massive terrorist attacks against the U.S., Kyle and Wade realize that the true evil isn't in crypts or legends, but in the man who can plot the deaths of innocents, and the only solution is a bullet between the eyes.

Targets of Opportunity

When a pair of soldiers faces down deadly enemies together time after time, they become an efficient and deadly team. Kyle Monroe and Wade Curtis, two of the Army's most dangerous snipers, work together like a well–oiled machine. After hunting down terrorists in Pakistan and Romania, always under the official radar, Monroe and Curtis have learned how to get the job done by working together.
 So when General Robash asked them to take on another extremely important mission, traveling to Indonesia to kill high–level terrorists with connections to Al Qaeda, they knew they were the best two men for the job. But as they're prepping for the mission, Robash has to undergo emergency heart surgery––leaving the men under another's command. Now the paper–pushing Colonel Wiesenger has decided to accompany the men on the mission, and it's soon obvious that three's a crowd. It will take all of the experience and skill the two snipers have to trek through the jungle villages of volatile Indonesia, and stop the terrorists in their tracks. They must kill the terrorist leaders before more innocents, including those of American oil workers, are added to the list of casualties in the war on terror.

Kenneth Chinran was a disaffected youth who joined the military and was recruited for an elite deep cover unit, shrugging off training and exercises so tough that several of the recruits did not survive. Then he was sent by his star nation to infiltrate a fascistic, militaristic planet-Earth. He lived in deep cover for years, marrying and having a daughter. Then the Earth forces attacked his home system, and he and his team came out of hiding, attacking and destroying the infrastructure of the crowded planet, disabling transportation and communications in city after city. As a result of his attacks, billions died for lack of the food, water and power which the ravaged system could no longer supply. His sabotage was successful, but the deaths of so many weighs heavily on his mind, making him wonder if he can stay sane. Then the secret police discovered his identity. With his daughter, the only thing in his life that had so far kept him human, he was on the run, while the resources of a planetwide police state were tracking him down. He could see no way to escape from the planet, no way to keep hiding, and if he and his daughter were caught, death was the very least that they could expect. But Chinran is a warrior to the core, and even if he loses this last battle, he won't go down without a fight that his pursuers-the ones who survive-will never forget

The sniper has years of experience and enormous ability. The sniper can kill. The Darhel cannot.

When word comes that President Bishwanath, the local honest leader of Celadon, is dead, every corrupt politician and ruthless megacorp in the universe set out to seize control of the planet, unaware that Bishwanath is not dead, his mercenary bodyguards are loyal to a fault, and every rule in the book is about to be broken.

Celadon, a poor nation on a poor planet, engaged in civil war and a haven for every type of villainy in space, is ripe for cleanup. The military could pacify it handily, but it would take a statesman to fix it. But some statesmen have ethics, which politicians and megacorps find inconvenient. President Bishwanath compounded the sin by being astute, ambitious and capable. Something had to be done, because a working nation isn't much use for pork and graft. When the word comes down that he is dead, the politicians move on with a new plan, re-allocating resources, and finding a new, more pliable president to put in place. There are three problems with this solution. Bishwanath is not dead. His mercenary bodyguards are more loyal than the politicians. And if they're not on contract, there are no rules.

Co-op available When an exploration ship from Freehold discovered a planet with intelligent lifeforms—the first which humans had ever encountered—it should have been the most important event in history. And it might be—for all the wrong reasons. Corporations on Freehold were eager to sell high-tech toys to the Ithkuil, as the inhabitants called themselves, which had the potential to disrupt their society. Then there was the U.N., which controlled the planet Earth. Earth and Freehold were not on good terms, to put it mildly, and the U.N. immediately sent its own ship to make contact with the Ithkuil. If the authoritarians from Earth started throwing their weight around, Freehold would have to push back, causing anything from a diplomatic incident to outright war. And then another ship arrived, full of idealistic do-gooders determined to keep the Ithkuil in their unspoiled state of nature . . . The whole thing was turning into a cross between a Marx Brothers farce and a Kafkaesque nightmare, with a potential for Greek tragedy. Contact with a more advance civilization might pose a danger to the Ithkuil, but it definitely was becoming more dangerous to the human factions, and the situation was a powder keg just waiting for a spark to cause a very deadly explosion. . . .
