Maric's recon team drops in on a container ship off the coast of Australia, and discovers parts for making small, dirty nuclear weapons. When the ship gets to its destination, that container is empty. Then Gray Ops discovers that somewhere in Indonesian waters, someone is offering dirty nukes to terrorists. Gray Ops is a collaboration between businesses that want trade routes to remain open and elite force personnel who think the same way. In this case it gets political. Civil war erupts over Seho Island, an Eagle's Nest on the opposite side of the world to Hitler's wartime retreat. The scientific advances the base at Seho has made in the last eighty years would destabilize the world in the wrong hands. Flying under the radar, Maric has to get there first. The fourth book in the popular Maric series, this one takes readers into one of the last unexplored territories in the world, from magnificent double-masted phinisi with all sails billowing, to exotic jungles that can kill.

An extremophile organism makes the jump from volcanic vents under the sea to Antarctic caves, and is discovered by US naval operation HighJump in 1948. In a desperate race across the Greenland ice cap today, Maric and a Canadian Mounties MSERT team are too late to stop a sample of the organism, transplanted to a new home, falling into the wrong hands. Recruiting a Georgian militia team fighting Jihadist elements in the Caucasus Mountains, Maric and a Grey Ops force must find and destroy the sample before a Chechen warlord weaponises it, creating a new Weapon of Mass Destruction. Maric at his finest!

SAS veteran Maric is training a special force team in suburban recon in Petersburg, Virginia. He meets a woman who is part of a Richmond Tactical team taking down a criminal syndicate. Days later a worldwide series of earthquakes and tsunamis knocks civilisation back to the horse and cart days, and she joins his team. Maric's boss Cal sends him to the Atlas Mountains, on the edge of the Sahara Desert, to look into a strange happening recorded 80 years ago. It might explain what's been happening in the world today. Then a bombardment from the skies takes out the military bases and industrial capacity of the advanced nations. The only functioning military capacity left on the planet is a handful of special forces scattered across the globe. Between them, Cal and Maric struggle to make sense of the devastating events besetting their world, and turn the tables on the alien perpetrators.

This fifth addition to the Unsung Warrior series is a standalone book, and Maric takes his uncompromising SAS skills to the big city. Special Branch in London have three dead Pakistani immigrants, no leads, and a spike in dark web chatter. Can Maric identify the terrorist threat before it's too late?Attached to CID Walworth as a cover, Maric doesn't have his Grey Ops assets to fall back on. But then he meets an old warrior at Counter Terrorism Command, and finds himself welcomed into a British unit. The plot he unravels has been many years in the making, and a formidable tribal force from Pakistan is assembled in London to take revenge for a centuries-old injustice. Maric has a name, but who is the mysterious Saidullah, re-born holy man and now warlord? With days left to go, he doesn't have a where, or when, for the attack, and it's time to find out whether he's good enough for a job this complex.

Maric gets two calls for help. One from a Dayak tribe who helped him take over a diamond mine in Kalimantan being used by a crime boss. The Dayak's traditional nomadic trails through the interior are being blocked by coastal Iban intent on a land grab. The other call is from a Croatian Special Forces soldier who helped Maric take down the same crime boss in the Albanian mountains. The man's sister and her partner have disappeared in the lawless wilds of northern Kosovo. Maric's boss can spare him from his Grey Ops work, but he can't support him for either mission. The first one turns out to be straightforward, but the second one sees Maric forming his own army. It's the only way he can combat a powerful figure still wanted by the War Crimes tribunal for atrocities during the Balkan wars.

The Count has finally been unmasked, and traced to a base in the tortuous Albanian mountains. Maric's reconnaissance team has six days to get in and out with enough intel for the main NATO/US task force before it parachutes in. Then things start to go wrong. The operation is far more than the laundering of blood diamonds to fund the Count's various criminal interests around the globe. If Maric doesn't act fast, it will be the rebirth of fundamentalist terrorism on a scale never seen before. The NATO ground forces are closing in on the mountain base when they come under fire from a storm of cruise missiles. Where are they coming from, and how can they be stopped?

Haunted by a mistake that cost lives during his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, Maric buries his demons in the farming communities of New Zealand - until his old SAS boss pulls him back to a world he has struggled to forget. Some of his SAS comrades, now retired, have died in suspicious circumstances. Maric follows the trail to the Finn, a gun for hire who models himself on Carlos the Jackal. Determined to avenge their deaths, he joins an undercover operation deep into headhunter territory in Kalimantan (Borneo). He and his team are expected to test experimental weapons decades ahead of their time, and destroy the diamond smuggling operation that is funding an East European crime syndicate. He soon discovers the Finn is heading a security force of Spetsnaz and mercs, and his plans start to unravel. Will Maric be able to signal the main force for a HA/LO drop over the Kalimantan jungle in time? Can he assimilate into his team the intel officers forced on him by the mission's financial backers? How will he get his teammates back when some of them are captured? Will he be able to best the Finn?
