Lars Emmerich books in order

Lars Emmerich is a retired American fighter pilot, entrepreneur, investor, and musician.

He is also a USA Today, Amazon, and international #1 bestselling author of mystery, thriller, and crime fiction books.

When he was twelve year old, Lars went to an airshow, where he witnessed the grace and ferociousness of an F-16 as it flew low over the crowd.

This experience stirred something in him that ultimately inspired him to become a fighter pilot, something he enjoyed for fifteen years.

His passion for writing however developed during his years as a budding lieutenant in Undergraduate Pilot Training, when he read a Tom Clancy novel.

That thriller reading experience on espionage and conspiracy spurred something in him, prompting him to promise that he would one day write a book like that.

That vow was fulfilled in 2014 when he published The Incident: Inferno Rising, the first installment of the Sam Jameson series.

The series now has more than a million fans in 17 countries.

Lars currently resides in his Colorado home with his family, where is often working or procrastinating.

Quinn

Monarch

Quinn does bad things to bad people, but he does them for good reasons. It's a common refrain in the national security game.

But Quinn is anything but common.

He has chased and caught rogue spies, brought vengeance to those who deserved it, survived incredible odds, and thrived in one of the world's deadliest jobs.

Yet nothing has prepared him for Cathrijne.

She is otherworldly, ethereal, beautiful, brilliant...

And now Catherijne is missing, an apparent casualty of an operation gone bad.

That same failed operation has left Quinn in the crosshairs of some of the world's most ruthless players -- Russians for sure, Islamists as a matter of course, maybe also Mossad... and most disconcerting of all, his own clandestine service seems hellbent on his demise.

And yet, though he's under attack from all quarters, Quinn is concerned with only one thing: saving Catherijne.

Will he piece together the cryptic clues in time to save her from an unspeakable end?

Does he have the strength and skill to avoid the same end himself?

As the noose tightens around her neck, Sam must uncover a brutal and deadly conspiracy before she becomes its next victim.
