Typhon Dance

Ian "Cork" Corcoran has survived numerous missions as a Navy SEAL, the last of which-an operation against ISIS terrorists in Hilversum, Netherlands-nearly ended him. Following numerous surgeries and a lengthy recuperation, he has retired to his small cottage in New Hampshire. Here, his world has narrowed to the quiet company of Walrus-his massive half‑African Ridgeback, half‑Mastiff-and his only neighbors: Danine "Danny" Orliss, a single mother, and her eleven‑year‑old daughter, Kaylee.
Cork is still mending, inside and out, when an old CIA acquaintance appears on his property while Cork's splitting firewood for the coming winter. This CIA agent brings news of the murder of an old teammate by an unseen sniper at a Connecticut marina. What follows is an international odyssey involving a Saudi billionaire sheikh, his hired assassins, a lethal, custom‑engineered virus created by the sheikh's virologist; and a homicidal Venezuelan drug‑cartel kingpin. These board pieces lead a hunt extending from Tynton, New Hampshire to Barquisimeto, Venezuela; Canary Wharf in London; and finally Mecca, as the danger escalates and the circle of threat widens. But Cork is not alone-and the friends who stand with him are every bit as dangerous as he is.

Typhon Dance is a high-stakes techno-thriller blending covert operations, emerging technology, and geopolitical tension into a tightly wound narrative of control, deception, and consequence. The first installment in The Cork Trilogy, it sets the stage for a conflict where the most dangerous battles are the ones no one admits are being fought.

Reader's Note: Perfect for readers of high-concept techno-thrillers, military suspense, and intelligence-driven fiction where the line between truth and strategy is constantly shifting-and nothing is ever quite what it seems.
