Publisher's summary

The newest gut-wrenching high-stakes thriller of covert operations by Andrews & Wilson - the Wall Street Journal best-selling authors of Tier One.

After a surprise assault on Task Force Ember’s secret compound in Virginia by Russian covert operators, John Dempsey and his teammates are mourning their dead and trying to put the pieces back together. But in the ever-evolving world of shadow warfare, there is no respite for heroes or victims. Russian spymaster Arkady Zhukov, the mind behind the attack on Ember, is at it again - directing false flag operations to destabilize Ukraine and enable Russia to seize control of the Black Sea.

The American president designates Arkady and his Zetas a clear and present danger to the United States. Dempsey and his team are tasked to systematically eliminate each and every Zeta agent around the globe. But when American and Russian covert operations collide in Kiev, the “new Cold War” goes from a simmer to a boil. Escalation ensues, bringing America and her allies to the brink of world war. Unless Dempsey and Task Force Ember can derail Russia’s secret plans, the collateral damage could bring the world to its knees.

Collateral is the sixth installment of the Tier One series - the highest-rated, most authentic pulse-pounding covert-operations thriller series on the market today. Tier One follows the life and operations of former Navy SEAL John Dempsey and Task Force Ember and is written by the WSJ, Audible, and Amazon best-selling coauthor team Andrews & Wilson. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, WEB Griffin, Robert Ludlum, Mark Greaney, Brad Thor, Jack Carr, and Tim Tigner.

pulsating energy great descriptions

I decided to read the last of this series first and my only regret is that I haven't read the others. Now I am on a mission to remedy that after this fast paced detailed. novel. The military description are authentic and it is peppered with just the right amount of human intimacy.

Best of the Series so Far

I thought Collateral was incredible! The story kept me on the edge of my seat and the voice acting of the narrator was perfect.

I enjoyed some of the more technical aspects of naval and air warfare mixed with the familiar storylines of the Ember team. 10/10

NOT OVER TILL IT IS OVER

Awesome story line and characters still being developed beyond expectations. I’m waiting for Martin to get more audio time, Marines deserve a little more recognition 👏. The Spy-Master continues to evade but seems all is not necessarily evil, although so much death on Ember. Elizabeth made the right call, but her feelings of betraying the team is killing her softly.

Absolutely Outstanding

I loved it from beginning to end! It was technical but easy to follow, the characters were well developed and the plot was intriguing. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. This is the first book I’ve read in this series but I will be reading more!
