King & Slater

Jason King and Will Slater, the two most lethal operatives in government history, are out on their own. They've been through their personal journeys into hell, but they unite in New York City as brothers in arms. So begins a vigilante crusade against the city's morally bankrupt inhabitants. But their private war doesn't last long. Sometimes you can't escape the past, no matter how hard you try. They're revisited by old government contacts with an agenda, and soon enough they're fighting tooth and nail to prevent the destabilization of the entire country. Outnumbered, overwhelmed, beat down, battered, broken - it's just another day at the office.

Two trained killers at a staggering altitude.... Raya Parker, the 14-year-old daughter of a senior US black-ops official, has vanished along the trail to Everest. Also unaccounted for are one of the loyal bodyguards assigned to protect her and an unassuming Nepali porter. After a prolonged wait for their first contracted assignment, Jason King and Will Slater touch down in Nepal. They're not exactly thrilled by the task - they assume it's a routine opportunistic kidnapping. But Raya's father, Aidan, has done brilliant work for his country, and if his family is at risk, he deserves the best. Then their grip on the situation spirals violently out of control. Soon enough they're deep in the throes of terror, battling savage hostiles and the brutality of the terrain itself, and they can't figure out who the hell is behind any of it. As they ascend higher and higher on the long trail to Gokyo Ri, their energy saps, their bodies crumble, and panic intensifies.... What use is elite combat training when you can hardly breathe?

What happens when the lights go out? King and Slater have fought and warred all over the globe, from the desolate plains of the Russian Far East to the extreme altitudes of Nepal. Now, chaos strikes them at home. New York goes dark as malicious code infects the power grid in a devastating cyberattack. More than eight million people across the five boroughs. No power, no running water, no sanitation. Food supplies will be exhausted within two days, and there's no one to restock the shelves. The government has no solution to the myriad of problems that come with a major city losing electricity for a prolonged period. All King and Slater know is the code used to knock out critical substations initiated in the heart of Manhattan...and so begins a harrowing race against the clock to get the lights back on before the city plunges into anarchy. They don't have much time; it doesn't take long for people to panic. As they fight their way deeper into the bowels of the city, they realize there was a reason New York was targeted. Make as many enemies as they do, and it's bound to catch up with you eventually.

Would you become an outlaw to maintain your moral code? Black operations killer Will Slater has a choice to make: continue putting his life on the line for his country, despite the unrest brewing below his stoic exterior...or get out. Should he muster up the courage to tell his employers how he feels, accept that he's rapidly approaching his physical and mental limits, and ask permission to step away from his role as a human wrecking ball? But he knows they won't let him out, not with the state secrets swimming around in his head. There's exceptions the upper echelon simply cannot allow. Slater's been a vigilante once. He knows the pain of isolation, the stress that comes from making an enemy of the shadow world. And that's avoiding the real dilemma. If he goes, Jason King must choose between the woman he loves and his brother-in-arms. Strap in for a white-knuckle thrill ride you won't forget....

Where there's blood, there's sharks.... Hunting the leftover scum from a corrupt judge's human trafficking operation, King and Slater dig up the name of a bank used to wash all the dirty money leaving Vegas in duffel bags. It brings them to an offshore tax haven - the city of Freeport on Grand Bahama. There, a narcissistic psychopath named Dylan Walcott runs an airtight financial empire, with a smorgasbord of companies under his belt. Soon enough King and Slater's vigilante acts lead them, inevitably, to the downtrodden. They befriend an elderly couple in Freeport, victims of loan sharking in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. All roads lead to Walcott, who's cast his predatory gaze over every survivor in need of quick cash across the archipelago. His greed knows no bounds, ruining lives both offshore and in his own backyard. Walcott won't ever back down, and King and Slater must reconsider what they're getting themselves into. When titans clash, the loser falls hard....

Want to be a god? Start a cult. Something sinister brews deep in rural Wyoming; a movement; a liberation; an uprising. Meanwhile, chasing loose ends in Nassau, King and Slater witness an act so shocking they can hardly comprehend it. They realize they have no choice but to investigate, abandoning the Bahamas for the Thunder Basin National Grassland in Wyoming. Their pursuit leads them to a shadowy cult occupying a commune in the isolated heart of the prairie. Mother Libertas, led by their mysterious and seductive messiah Maeve Riordan, is like nothing King and Slater have ever seen before. Its followers are fueled by a mind-bending drug known only as Bodhi. Alongside Alexis and Violetta, they go down the rabbit hole in order to destroy the cult, but they end up fighting not just for their survival, but their sanity.

A return to the edge of limits... It's been months since King and Slater faced true physical adversity. Now, they're back in the depths of hell. A botched attempt to seize control of the Presidency by a brainwashed intelligence asset leads to the exposure of King and Slater's location. The shadow world from which they fled has them in their sights, and they're furious. Going rogue is the gravest sin - wetwork operators aren't afforded the leniency of leaving whenever they please. Examples must be made. The hunters are unleashed. Black-ops killers cut from the same cloth as King and Slater are given free reign to turn the United States into a hunting ground. It must be demonstrated what happens to dissidents. In the fight of their lives, King, Slater, Violetta and Alexis team with their only contact in the government, tech-wizard Alonzo Romero, to claw tooth and nail to stay alive.

It was never going to be a fairy tale. On the same day Jason King is set to become a father, Will Slater sees a 12-year-old boy on a street corner. There's nothing particularly alarming about the kid, but Slater has a sixth sense when someone needs help, so he steps in to protect. After his vicious deliverance of justice enrages half the Boston underworld, Slater meets the whirlwind of chaos head-on. He made the choice to get involved, so he won't stop until the war is won. As King gets swept up in the madness from the supposed safety of Violetta's hospital room, their battles intertwine. And as the bodies pile and the scum of society seep from the woodwork, Slater confronts hidden truths he'd never learned: This boy he's protecting, this stranger, starts to remind him that family isn't always blood.

Ghosts can haunt the living.... King and Slater are independent operators, outlawed from their government for good, free to deliver vigilante justice to those who need it most. Las Vegas, with its murky history and seedy underworld, serves as the perfect hunting ground. Below the hedonism, away from the bright lights and alluring fantasy, there's an entrenched web of corruption. They offer their services to a woman about to serve a decade in prison for a crime she didn't commit, and what begins with the infiltration of an unlicensed club in Chinatown unravels into an all-out war against retired cops, bent judges, a sociopath District Attorney, and the legion of hired muscle who serve them. It's a good thing King and Slater are bred for mayhem....
