***Featuring Jet from New York Times bestseller Russell Blake's hit espionage series—Two lethal Black Ops assassination teams collide head-first in this gritty, action-packed thriller by Black Flagged creator, Steven Konkoly***
JET BLACK:
At a luxury resort on the coast of Uruguay, Jet prepares her Mossad team for a daring attack against a Russian mafiya boss suspected of selling bioweapons to the Iranians. Simultaneously, Jessica Petrovich readies a small team of Black Flagged operatives with order to kill Dr. Anatoly Reznikov, the source of the mafiya bioweapons.
There's only one problem—BOTH TARGETS ARE LOCATED IN THE SAME SUITE, and neither team knows the other is coming!
Two of the most lethal femme fatales in recent thriller history are about to come face to face in the explosive return of the Black Flagged saga.
Steven graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1993, receiving a bachelor of science in English literature. He served the next eight years on active duty, traveling the world as a naval officer assigned to various Navy and Marine Corps units. His extensive journey spanned the globe, including a two-year tour of duty in Japan and travel to more than twenty countries throughout Asia and the Middle East.
From enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq as a maritime boarding officer in the Arabian Gulf, to directing aircraft bombing runs and naval gunfire strikes as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) assigned to a specialized Marine Corps unit, Steven's "in-house" experience with a wide range of regular and elite military units brings a unique authenticity to his thrillers.
He still wakes up at "zero dark thirty" to write for most of the day. When "off duty," he spends as much time as possible outdoors or travelling with his family--and dog.
Steven is the bestselling author of ten novels and several novellas, including a commissioned trilogy of novellas based on the popular Wayward Pines series. His canon of work includes the popular Black Flagged Series, a gritty, no-holds barred covert operations and espionage saga; The Perseid Collapse series, a post-apocalyptic thriller epic chronicling the events surrounding an inconceivable attack on the United States; and The Fractured State series, a near future, dystopian thriller trilogy set in the drought ravaged southwest

What happens when two worlds collide? JET: BLACK! Two alpha females, Jessica (Black Flagged) and Jet (Mossad) are about to meet and you would buy a ticket for this event. With so many factions involved, USA (CIA), Israel (Mossad) and the Russians (mafia) Steven provides a handy character list. It is Jessica and Jet that provide most of the action, and if they do not kill each other first, they just might get their targets. They are both op team leaders who have separate targets that are in the same place at the same time. The two teams converge with neither knowing the other is there. Good news for the two targets. It will require Jessica and Jet to cooperate with each other to complete their missions, but will they? Another awesome rad by Steven Konkoly!
A wonderful addition to Kindle Worlds. Mr. Konkoly has skillfully incorporated a novella of Jet's adventures (from the JET series by Russell Blake) with his own 'Black Flagged' series. The Mossad and Black Flag operatives working towards a common goal with a bit of intrigue thrown in. He seamlessly writes of two missions that overlap and comprise each other.... with well-known characters from BOTH series.
A worthy compilation to the 'JET' series with an enticing prelude to the next 'Black Flagged' book to come. A very fast paced, action packed read with hints of so much more to come! I truly enjoy Mr. Konkoly's writing, descriptions, and convolutions that always keep the reader guessing. Extremely well done!
After a marathon reading session beginning with book one of the Black Flagged series, and resulting back to back sleepless nights, I was ready for a novella length book. This fit that need nicely. It carries on the overarching BF storyline while introducing another hard as nails heroine who goes toe to toe with Jessica and holds her own. I've located the Jet series prequel in my TBR stack, so will be heading there next and watching for the next BF series release. I can't wait.
Didn't like Jessica in this at all. Didn't like Sanderson. Didn't like that the American and Mossad teams couldn't coordinate their way out of a paper bag together. But, the action did move along well, and Jet did her best. I don't think Jessica would win a head-to-head battle with her. But why do they have to be at odds in the first place?
Each of the individual series are fabulous, but they have more character development so that you feel the action through the characters eyes. This combo of the two series was action, but hard to get into as there was no feeling for the characters - even though I completed both full series first.
A continuation of Russell Blake's Jet series. Very explosive and fast moving with Konkoly introducing characters. Jet, is one of the primary characters, giving this book a different twist. Filled with abdominal bad guys , a truly enjoyable read!! I highly recommend !
