The Dragon, The Eagle And The Jaguar
(Walker Series #3 - Pub. 1/14/25)
When Mexico finds itself at war against drug cartels armed with weapons even the military doesn’t possess, the risk to its government rocks President Lupita Martinez. Not only is she in danger, but the cartels’ newfound power is crushing the drug interdiction defenses of their northern neighbor, threatening a third invasion of the country.
Ex-CIA operative Thadius Walker and his team—a covert cadre of analytical masterminds and misfits—is Mexico’s only hope. Crossing borders and dangerous thresholds, Walker uncovers a nexus of betrayal that leads to the heart of China. As secrets unravel, it becomes a race against time to dismantle a cunning weapons pipeline that could bring both Mexico and the United States to its knees.
Carlyle masterfully weaves a tapestry of intrigue in The Dragon, The Eagle and The Jaguar. The chessboard is set, the players are ready, and the stakes could not be higher, as each move holds the potential for unprecedented geopolitical disaster. Can Team Walker checkmate their foes before chaos reigns supreme?
The Shadow Game (Walker Series #2)
The Shadow Game is the story of how one family can stir up a war between two countries, and how the terror of nuclear weapons on American soil creates chaos and demands for retribution.
The Hakimi family has devoted decades to regime reform in their beloved Iran, finally realizing that they alone will never have the power to achieve it. But the regime can never survive the power of the United States, and so the family goes to work to provoke the U.S. into action.
When a bomb goes off in Greensboro, North Carolina and America’s extraordinary nuclear detection systems prove to be inadequate, Team Walker is activated, a group of brilliant misfits who somehow see things others don't and who find patterns others miss. After weeks of data mining, old fashioned espionage and traditional police work, the team is still at a loss as to how the weapon reached American soil and who detonated it, and most terrifyingly, why. If they can figure out who the enemy is, they might stop further destruction. That dream explodes along with part of Reno, Nevada as a second bomb is detonated.
Intelligence patterns are detected by tracking multiple incidents, but when each incident guts an American city, there has to be a better way.
The Eel And The Angel: Reloaded (Walker Series #1)
***This updated and reedited edition provides an even more thrilling story for readers. PLUS, it includes a free preview of The Shadow Game (Walker #2)***
America and China are developing secret weapons that will forever change the balance of power. Ex-CIA operative Thadius Walker is called out of retirement to offer “old bull” advice to a small group of young American intelligence people facing a deadly situation that could spin out of control at any moment.
Young Navy analyst Chad Gritt discovers the Chinese are using an undetectable system, code named EEL, to monitor secret weapon development except for America’s most important secret: Arctic Angel.
The CIA’s analysts and whiz kids apply every technique in their arsenal and still know nothing about the Chinese technology. Realizing that the only chance to unmask the threat is old fashioned field work, the CIA director puts Gritt and Walker in charge.
Gritt is tasked with understanding the Chinese threat while Walker develops strategies to keep their adversaries from discovering the Arctic Angel secret. He realizes that the installation on a remote Aleutian Island, disguised as a marine park with almost no security, is vulnerable. He orders a SEAL team to the base.
When cyber and clandestine spying ratchet up fear, the two countries launch covert military operations to force the other to reveal their secrets. Success means the winner will develop counter measures and failure cedes dominance of the Pacific Region.
Their opponent, ruthless Chinese officer, General Yang, chooses the moment a typhoon strikes to invade the island, before the SEAL team arrives. Beautiful Major Olga Tvorshik, head of a tiny Air Force police unit and stodgy Colonel May Washington, a computer genius, lead a team of techno geeks to curb the threat. But without the Navy SEALs can two women who have never seen combat defeat the elite Chinese commandos?
