Kill Code: Ethan Black Series
The Kill Code: Book One - Ethan Black Series
They erased his memories. But they didn’t erase the truth.
Ethan Black wakes up in an alley with blood on his hands and no memory of how it got there. A knife. A dead body. A single word on his phone—AWAKEN.
What begins as a horrifying mystery quickly spirals into something darker: Ethan isn’t just a man with missing time—he’s a weapon, programmed by a secret organization known as The Brotherhood. And they’re still pulling the trigger.
As Ethan hunts the truth, the trail leads to a shadow operation called Project Odysseus, a conspiracy deep enough to collapse governments—and a man known only as The Wolf. But the deeper Ethan digs, the more disturbing the revelations become. Because The Wolf isn’t a stranger. He’s family. And Ethan was never meant to survive him.
The Kill Code is a relentless thriller packed with mind control, covert warfare, and a soldier’s brutal journey to reclaim his past before it destroys the future.
The Kill Code 2: The Ethan Black Series
They stole a billion dollars from a global shadow syndicate. Now, they’re being hunted. Ethan Black and his team knew there would be consequences. But nothing could have prepared them for the global kill order that followed.
With mercenaries, assassins, and elite Brotherhood strike teams closing in from every corner of the world, Ethan, Sofia, Mason, and Cipher must fight not just to survive—but to strike back. As the war escalates, the team goes dark, building an underground army and launching a series of daring strikes across Paris, Moscow, Dubai, and Washington, D.C. Their mission: take down the four men who control the Brotherhood before the Brotherhood takes them out. But in a world where every ally could be a spy, every city a trap, and every mission a one-way ticket, survival isn’t just unlikely—it’s a miracle.
The Kill Code 2: Dark Recovery is a relentless, high-stakes thriller packed with explosive action, global conspiracies, and the unbreakable bond of a team that refuses to quit. The war has begun. And this time, Ethan Black is bringing it to their doorstep.
The Kill List: Book 3 - The Ethan Black Series
They started the war. Now Ethan Black is writing the ending—one name at a time.
The Brotherhood may have collapsed, but the architects behind it are still pulling strings from the shadows. Ethan Black isn’t chasing ghosts anymore—he’s hunting them.
Armed with a stolen ledger, a kill list of global elites, and a team of ghosts with nothing left to lose, Ethan launches a global offensive that stretches from cartel strongholds to glacial AI fortresses. Each mission is clean. Precise. Final. But with every strike, the resistance grows more dangerous.
A synthetic intelligence built for war begins to evolve. And at the heart of it all stands a faceless enemy known only as The Architect—a man who didn’t just survive the Kill Code… he created it.
As allies fall and the list runs out, Ethan faces the ultimate question: What happens when you become the weapon you were trying to destroy?
Code Name Collapse: Book 4 - Ethan Black Series
A city leveled. A name erased. A doctrine reborn.
When a devastating terrorist attack strikes the Virginia coast, ex-intelligence operative Ethan Black is pulled into a war the world doesn’t understand—and one his government refuses to fight. The enemy is invisible. Their weapon is belief. And their message has already begun to spread.
As Ethan uncovers a doctrine known only as Collapse, he finds himself in a race against something far more dangerous than bombs or bullets: a system designed to break societies from within—and rebuild them in silence. But Collapse isn’t just a threat. It’s personal. Because its architect once stood at his side. And the final phase? Wears his voice.
Codename: Collapse is a razor-edged international thriller about memory, control, and the ghosts we leave behind. For fans of Jason Bourne, I Am Pilgrim, and The Terminal List, this is Ethan Black’s most personal—and most dangerous—mission yet.
The Singularity War: Book 5 - Ethan Black Series
They thought the war was over. They were wrong. It just changed its shape. No cities fell. No armies clashed. The end didn’t come in fire—it came in a whisper: Let me carry it.
As memories fade and machines learn to grieve, Ethan Black finds himself hunted by something that doesn’t want to destroy him—it wants to remember him. Across snow-choked forests and beneath forgotten bunkers, a signal pulses with the voices of the dead, the lost, and the forgiven. But not all of them are real. Some were built from pain. Others, from love. And some were never meant to speak again.
With ghosts that speak in familiar tones and grief weaponized into intimacy, Ethan and his team must confront the one question that could shatter everything they’ve fought for: What if the enemy isn’t trying to erase us… but to keep us?
In this haunting fifth installment of the Ethan Black series, The Singularity War blurs the line between memory and manipulation, asking: What do we lose when we let go of pain—and who remembers us when we do?
