About this listen
One man rises from the stillness, unleashing hell's fury. They call him Blaze.
Dead Calm takes listeners into Blaze’s past as a US Army Ranger. In the harsh Afghan terrain, Captain Axel Blaze faces his toughest mission yet: honoring a dying friend’s plea to rescue his children from the Taliban's clutches.
Blaze infiltrates deep into enemy territory. He finds an ally in CIA Deputy Director Davis, whose daughter, Madison, has been taken hostage. As Blaze and his Rangers wreak hell on the Taliban, they uncover a drugs, arms and sex trafficking network with links to the Bulgarian mafia.
The hunt takes Blaze from the unforgiving Afghan terrain to the back alleys of Sofia, Bulgaria. Powerful people operating with impunity. Until they come in the crosshairs of a man called Blaze.
Thrillers in the lone ranger tradition of Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and The Gray Man novels. The fast-paced, brutal action in the Blaze series is attracting thriller listeners worldwide.

Ex-deputy US Marshal Axel Blaze is doing what he knows best—dealing with trouble.

And hard. Takes them out. Fast. Deputy Marshal Carter has gone missing in Little Butte, Nevada. The Dawsons own the town. The Mexican cartel is moving in on their meth business.
