Mike and Marge control ePETRO, an oil shipping business with offices in London and New York, but they don't have the same business goals in mind. Marge intends to sell the North Koreans uranium in addition to oil obtained illegally from the government sanctioned Middle East. But Mike may have other plans, mainly, keeping the profits of these sales for himself.
Then there is the shadowy Steven Christopher, who oversees the information runners who are charged with staying off the grid, is working several angles behind the scenes. Steven is the only one trusted by both Marge and Mike, but why?
Do the vast amounts of information and technology available hold humans’ hostage? Do analog communications sidestep your vulnerability in a digital world?
As Juan and Julie RodrÃguez send their operatives, Ernesto, Tyler, Summit, Mercedes, Brayson, and George out across the globe to track down these foot soldiers also known as Analog Information Mules, they'll discover the horrible potential treats, and learn about each other along the way.
Julie heads to London to fill the gap undercover inside ePetro, when she finds herself in the center of all the trouble. When Julie disappears, Juan drops everything to find her.
Even with all their information gathering sources and machinery, the R-Group fears she is lost.

What are Readers saying
Kirkus “Astute prose and an unwavering pace energized by first-rate characters and subplots.”
“The action could be considered exciting and visceral, but the antagonists are the selling points for this book, lifting the plot out of multiple perspectives and scene-shifting (the action takes place across four continents).”
“Any lover of thrillers or techno-thrillers will enjoy this book a lot.”
“The clever ingenuity in this book astounds me (the holy man... so quickly creative!)”
Interview
What is
the hardest part of writing your books?
The hardest part of writing books for us is the continual marketing effort that is required that takes us away from writing. Fortuenately when you co-author what one doesn’t think of the other one will so we always have ideas.

are most played on your Ipod?
Old rock and
roll songs are the favorite.
Do you
have critique partners or beta readers?
Yes, to the
critique partners, starting with ourselves and advancing to our editor who is
Breakfield’s charming wife. Beta readers are used through out our process as
well, but we are always looking for new beta readers, in case any of your
followers wish to volunteer.
What book
are you reading now?
Burkey is
reading Catherine Coulter Paradox to keep up with her favorite good guys
Sherlock and Savich. Breakfield is more into non-fiction and likes the new
National Geograhic.
How did
you start your writing career?
Breakfield
and Burkey started writing non-fictional (no fun) technical manuals. They were
well accepted and we did a great job, but they lacked the fun a taking a real technology
problem adding travel, relationships, intrigue, mystery, a dash of humor, and
splash of history like in the series. Fiction means you can easily do away with
your enemies, with no jail time.
Thank you for
asking. The Enigma Beyond, book 11 will be on pre-order in December with release
in January of 2020. In The Enigma Beyond, humanity is fighting for living space
as the enhanced AI takes control of our politics, our military, and our lives.
We hope your
followers will take advance of the Ebook preorder one-time special price of
$.99.
