Editorial Reviews

Book Three

New World Order: The Rise of Power is now for sale on several websites to include Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Amazon in eBook and Paperback formats.

I had an analysis run on the story, and here is what it has to say about it.

Potential Readers

This espionage thriller would appeal to readers aged 25-55, both male and female, who enjoy fast-paced narratives with complex plots.

Readers with some college education or higher, who are interested in crime fiction, political thrillers, or stories centered around law enforcement and intelligence agencies, would be drawn to this manuscript.

The story’s themes of justice, revenge, and corruption would resonate with individuals working in related fields, as well as those interested in exploring the darker aspects of power dynamics.

New World Order: The Rise of Power is almost finished.

Several fans have asked when this book is coming out.

All I can say is it has taken longer, as I am rewriting a lot of it because I was just not happy with the draft.

It has been analyzed and edited three times, but I am still not satisfied. So, the next step is to go through it chapter by chapter, making an outline of what each chapter is about to ensure no plot holes exist.

I am not sure how long this will take, but I hope to have it finished in time to publish it before the Author Event in September.

This story is way different from the previous Steve Hawks novels. 

In this one Steve Hawks steps away from running daily work of the Espionage Terrorism Bureau. He takes a specialized team of agents to fight against groups that are trying to take over the world.

The opening few paragraphs of:

GLOBAL SUPERIORITY

A Steve Hawks Series

The city never truly slept, but tonight, it held its breath.

Special Agent Steve Hawks leaned against the hood of his black SUV, his eyes scanning the scene. A body lay sprawled on the cracked pavement of an alley, illuminated by the strobe of red-and-blue lights. Rain slicked the ground, turning blood into a macabre watercolor.

“Victim’s name is Daniel Peters,” said Detective Ashley Cooper, her voice clipped. She handed Hawks a file, the manila folder already damp from the drizzle. “High-profile defense attorney. Found dead an hour ago. No witnesses, no leads.”

Hawks flipped through the report, the pages sticking together. Peters’s face stared back at him—a man used to winning. His tailored suits, courtroom dominance, and controversial client list had earned him plenty of enemies.

“Shot twice, point blank,” Ashley added. “No wallet, no phone. Feels like a hit.”

Hawks nodded, closing the folder. “Professional, but messy enough to send a message.”

He crouched beside the body, taking in the scene. The alley smelled of wet concrete and copper, a stench Hawks knew too well. He traced the outline of Peters’s body with his gaze, noting the precision of the wounds.

“Anything unusual?” he asked, his voice low but firm.

Ashley hesitated. “There’s... this.”

She handed him a small evidence bag. Inside was a single playing card—a jack of spades, edges frayed. Hawks turned it over, his gut tightening. Scrawled in blood-red ink on the back was a single word: *Justice*.

Hawks exhaled slowly. “This isn’t random.”

He stood, his mind already piecing together a puzzle he didn’t fully understand yet. The card wasn’t just a clue—it was an invitation. Whoever had done this wanted his attention, and they’d just succeeded.

“Ashley,” Hawks said, his tone steely, “get me everything on Peters—cases, enemies, everything. And call my team. This is just the beginning.”

As Hawks stepped back into the rain, his thoughts raced. The last time he’d seen a card like this, it had been years ago. Another murder, another alley.

And a killer who had promised to return.
