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.

It’s 1915. The Great War has descended into horrific trench warfare with the great nations fighting over inches of European ground. In the Middle East, the war is between the British Empire and the Ottoman Empire, allied to Germany. Caught in the middle of this Middle East war are two families of spies—the Bankrofts, who support British operations in Mesopotamia, and the O’Connell family, on the side of the German and Ottoman operations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this suspense-filled thriller, Seeger takes his listeners on a voyage of discovery across a dangerous, clandestine world he knows so well. His own experience in special ops add unmatched granularity and reality to a fast-paced, terrific yarn.

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.

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.
