In 1943, Captain Peter O’Connell leaves the 82nd Airborne through a mysterious invitation and joins the first US Special Forces, the Office of Special Services (OSS). O’Connell soon realizes the OSS mission to support the Resistance in Occupied Europe is more than just sabotage and subversion. It also means staying alive behind the lines when you rarely know who is friend and who is your enemy. Reassigned to India in late 1944, Peter and his British colleagues work to destroy a Nazi sabotage ring based in Goa. Success in this operation uncovers O’Connell’s treasure.

Special Operations Intelligence Officer Sue O’Connell has found a way to break free from mundane office desk work. She and her colleagues from the SOF HUMINT cell are going to hunt down two Balkan war criminals visiting Germany.

A murder in East Aurora begins another tale of the espionage adventures of the O’Connell family. As retired CIA officer Barbara O’Connell follows the trail of an Irish assassin, her daughter, SOF Operator Sue O’Connell (aka. MIKE4), tracks a terrorist smuggling ring in Afghanistan. The two threads of the story end with a final, explosive climax on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea.

SOF intelligence assets are dying. Operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan have been compromised. Sue O’Connell and her teammates have to find the leak and find it fast. The hunt for the cyber hackers takes the SOF contingent to Turkey, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan. Back home, Sue’s brother in the BBI finds himself stuck on a similar problem as adversaries in the US are using cyber operations to steal Pentagon secrets. Even Sue’s mother, retired CIA case officer Barbara O’Connell, faces a cyber challenge. And every time they defeat one threat, another is uncovered.

SOF intelligence operator Sue O’Connell, callsign MIKE4, returns to hunt down a terrorist network determined to acquire nuclear material for a dirty bomb. As part of that effort, Sue must rescue a kidnapped colleague someplace on the Syrian-Iraq border. Meanwhile, both her mother and her brother continue to face the threat of the vendetta with a Russian mafia family.

Elizabeth Bankroft is a thoroughly modern teenager in the Edwardian age. She spends part of the year with her parents in British India and part of the year with her grandparents in England. When her parents decide to send her to a college, Elizabeth resents the idea of what she calls a “finishing school” in India. At the Viceroy’s College in the foothills of the Himalayas, “finishing” will take on a whole new meaning. The college is, in fact, the British India's school for spies.

A new century has brought a new competitor to the Great Game of Empires: The Germans, in alliance with the Young Turks of the Ottoman Empire, hope to gain control over the oil fields of the Middle East. And while treachery and deceit have always been part of the espionage trade, teenagers Elizabeth Bankroft and Michael O’Connell, alumni of the intelligence school known as the Viceroy’s College, must also use their mystic arts training to help their military masters.

Mike4 is the call sign for Chief Warrant Officer Sue O’Connell - a Special Operations Force (SOF) surveillance specialist. She is the daughter of a pair of CIA agents and the granddaughter of a famous World War II OSS agent. She is part of a team that “finds and fixes in place” terrorists so that SOF assault teams can “finish” the target.
