A Mind-Bending Technothriller Series From Shamus-Award Winning Author Andy Straka (with Durrell Nelson)

BOOK 1 DRAGONFLIES: SHADOW OF DRONES


Former Army helicopter pilot Raina Sanchez, grounded after being shot down and desperate to be back in the air, plunges into a brave new world of stealth-killing micro-drones.

Raina joins Tye Palmer, the decorated ex-infantryman who rescued her from the flaming wreckage of her Kiowa chopper. As civilian private investigators, together they embark on a sensitive, risky effort: using cutting-edge, micro air vehicle drones in an attempt to expose the son of media mogul Nathan Kurn as a campus rapist.

But her loyalties take a potential detour when she begins to understand a chilling reality. In an America where surveillance devices as small as insects are secretly piloted into places most would never imagine, public and private forces large and small are maneuvering to control them with inevitable consequences.

With personal allegiances and even love weighing in the balance, Raina soon confronts a threat that may alter the course of history.


"She studied the MAVs for a few moments. They were beautiful in their own way, she thought... What happens when the machines we build become more like us?"
