	1. ROGUE AVENGER (2005) They stole his future. He stole their submarine... The accident changed everything... One moment, Lieutenant Jake Slate was going about his duties aboard the ballistic missile submarine, USS Colorado. The next second, he was sprawled on the deck plates in a spreading puddle of blood and hydraulic fluid. But it wasn't the injury that ruined his life and doomed his military career. It was the rescue effort. Now he's being thrown to the wolves to cover up the misdeeds of a superior officer, and Jake doesn't care for the role of sacrificial lamb. Blinded by rage and unsure of his future, he finds himself at the center of a treacherous plot to hijack the Colorado and sell her nuclear warheads to a foreign power. Jake no longer knows who he can trust. He doesn't know what the future holds. He really only knows one thing. He will have his revenge.

A civilian oil tanker with a secret cargo of nuclear weapons. Together, they add up to an ingenious plan to penetrate the ballistic missile defenses of the United States. Standing in the path of destruction is a crew of mercenary submarine sailors, led by ex-U.S. naval officer, Jake Slate.

	4. ROGUE DEFENDER (2013) A crew of mercenary submarine sailors and an ex-U.S. naval officer take on the largest military force on earth. North Korea has crossed the Demilitarized Zone; the United States is hit by electromagnetic pulse attacks; and the Middle East is unraveling. Has Armageddon begun, or is a mortal puppet master pulling the strings? Regardless of the answer, the U.S. military is too overwhelmed by global events to continue protecting Taiwan. Chinese troops have gained a foothold on Taiwanese soil, and the tiny island nation has been stripped of her allies. Faced with impending destruction, the Taiwanese will do anything to survive, even if it means crossing the line into nuclear warfare. Their plan is desperate, and quite possibly insane. There's only one man crazy enough to carry it out - former naval officer-turned renegade, Jake Slate.

	6. ROGUE FORTRESS (2015) It begins with greed. It ends with destruction. A military bid for control of the fourth richest oil fields on earth. A high-tech fortress, armed with cutting-edge rail guns and point defense weapons that give it mastery of the sea for more than 100 miles in all directions. An insanely-clever commando assault on a snorkeling diesel submarine. At the epicenter of these colliding forces is former U.S. Navy officer Jake Slate, scrabbling desperately for one more impossible military victory. And behind the scenes, international arms dealer Pierre Renard continues to pull the strings like the virtuoso puppet master he is. In a world of dwindling fuel sources, the global battle for oil is just getting started...
	7. ROGUE GOLIATH (2015) The plan was working perfectly until everything went to hell. A South Korean submarine penetrates North Korean territorial waters to launch a snatch-and-grab commando raid. The kidnapping is an act of vengeance; the target is a North Korean admiral, wanted for the ambush and sinking of a South Korean corvette. The abduction goes off without a hitch. But when the triumphant commandos return to the sub, they go rogue, slaughtering members of the crew in an attempt to seize the submarine. Now, the crippled sub is trapped in enemy waters, with the entire North Korean surface navy out for blood. Into this maelstrom of danger and cutthroat politics comes international arms dealer Pierre Renard, and his secret weapon, former U.S. naval officer Jake Slate.

How much longer will his luck hold out?

It's been more than four years since the annexation of Crimea and UN has decided to take covert military action to loosen the stranglehold of the Russian invaders. The targets are a strategic bridge and underwater pipelines which supply the occupied peninsula with natural gas, electrical power, and telecommunications from mainland Russia. If these critical lifelines can be severed, Ukrainian resistance fighters might have a chance at reclaiming independence. To make this possible, former U.S. naval officer Jake Slate and international arms dealer Pierre Renard must wage a clandestine war against the Russian navy. Their enemies are aided by weaponized dolphins, who know the ocean environment far better than any human possibly can. If this is not a suicide mission, it's pretty damned close...
	9. ROGUE INVADER (2017) Piracy... War... Regime Change It begins with torpedo attacks against commercial tankers as the mercenary submarines Wraith and Specter glide beneath the seas, sowing chaos and choking off the flow of fuel to Greece. A secret cabal conspires to force the corrupt and failing nation from the European Union, even if it means fanning the smoldering tensions between Greece and Turkey into all-out war. While Greek warships scramble to locate the submarine provocateurs, international arms dealer Pierre Renard and expelled U.S. naval officer Jake Slate carry out an insane mission with unforeseeable consequences. The ocean battlespace is a crucible of drones, weaponized sea life, and lethal cutting-edge technologies. It's a new kind of warfare, and nobody knows the rules...

	11. ROGUE KINGDOM (2018) The tables have turned. It begins with a daring commando raid to capture a highly-specialized warship. But this time, global arms runner Pierre Renard is not the mastermind behind the crime. He's the victim and the hijacked vessel is his hybrid combat/salvage submarine, the Goliath. In addition to its vital role in his plans, the lost sub is a stab at Renard's heart, a reminder that even his Machiavellian schemes cannot guarantee protection against clever enemies. For the first time, he's reacting rather than taking control, dancing on the puppet strings instead of pulling them. Leading the chase to recapture the Goliath is disgraced former U.S. naval officer Jake Slate, once again in command of Renard's mercenary fleet. Pitted against a crafty and deadly adversary, Slate knows that he can't continue to defy the odds indefinitely. Sooner or later, his luck is going to run out.
