Books in BlackStar Ops series

Bart Winfield, code name, "Tupelo," leads the BlackStar Ops Group in a critical top-secret search for Rick Eichner, the deep-cover Soviet spy, that has moved to the eastern slope of the Rockies. Can they recover the stolen nukes before Eichner can auction them off to international terrorists? Will Russian smugglers interfere and why are they planning to kidnap a college student from Seawind Bay? The Consortium, a clandestine intel organization patiently waits as their plan to blackmail the world with nuclear threats plays out in a secret underground lair where conflict and scheming reign. The BlackStar Ops Group, an ultra-secret combination of Air Force and NSA investigators, must unravel the complex mystery to save the world. Can they do it in time? In the tradition of Clancy, Childs and Fleming, T.C. Miller lays out a tale of international intrigue set in the center of the U.S. The story speeds along at breakneck speed and invites the reader to finish it in one setting. It's not the schedule, so much as it is dodging the four Bs…bullets, bombs and booby-traps…And, the biggest…bad guys.

Five average guys call themselves the Thursday Night Mafia and their weekly blackjack game appears to be innocent. But looks can be deceiving, as casual talk leads to a plot to scam Lake Tahoe casinos. Caught red-handed by mob goons and facing certain death if they don't repay a fortune, they turn to Rick. He uses their inside knowledge to commandeer a B-52 with nukes on board and hold it for ransom. But the BlackStar Bomber holds Cold War secrets bigger than Rick's and a crack Air Force/NSA team, headed by the legendary spy Tupelo, races against time to hunt him down. His vengeful plan includes the destruction of Lake Tahoe and the death of thousands of people. The Consortium, an intelligence organization born from the old Soviet system, schemes to help Rick auction off the nuclear weapons—including the deadly BlackStar system—to the highest bidder.
