One man can save the government … if they don’t stop him first.

They erased his record.  Now they need him back.

Severin Force was a ghost – Ranger, SEAL, Delta Force – until his entire team was wiped out and his existence disavowed.  Severin Force is a soldier, a patriot, and a loner, with a uniquely agreeable personal scent.  Currently unemployed but still straight-jacked, dressing well, and eating healthy.

When a coordinated cyberattack plunges America into digital darkness, Force is pulled back into the shadows.  His mission: track down the domestic terrorists responsible and end them.

But the deeper he digs, the blackout is just the beginning.  A darker agenda is unfolding.  And if Force can’t stop it, the republic will fall

Every Force book can be read on its own or as part of the series.

About the Author

Marcus Paul Cootsona is the author of the Severin Force thrillers, INITIAL FORCE and SUFFICIENT FORCE (Coming in April 2025). He has also written two Wally Wilson thrillers (SLAMMIN’ and RUBBER MATCH), and two tennis instructional books (OCCAM’S RACQUET and TNNS LSSNS).

He is a lapsed playwright, recovering screenwriter, and former professional magician.

Unlike his fictional hero, Severin Force, Marcus has never been an Army Ranger, a Delta operator, or a Navy SEAL. Or a loner. Like Force, he is a patriot, and endeavors to always smell uniquely agreeable.

He lives in Northern California.
