Publisher's summary

A joint US-Russian Special Forces raid against a hidden laboratory yields an alarming discovery. Anatoly Reznikov, the deranged bioweapons scientist stolen from US custody a few years earlier, vanished minutes before the attack - taking his deadly work with him.

In the United States, Beltway power brokers grapple with True America's surprise presidential win, finding the new administration to be anything but easy to work with. Karl Berg, demoted within the CIA due to the sudden shift in agency leadership, seeks to stay out of trouble, and retire quietly - a task he finds impossible when news of Reznikov's near-capture unofficially reaches his desk.

Oblivious to the growing threats domestic and abroad, Daniel and Jessica Petrovich finalize their plan to abandon the "Black Flag" business for good, only to have it delayed by close-hitting news. A last-minute trip to the United States drags them closer to an unfolding plot in the heart of Washington D.C. A plot connected to everyone and everything the Petroviches have touched. A diabolical conspiracy none of them saw coming - and only one group can stop!

Petrovich's vacation on hold!

We are presented with another hard-hitting, fast-moving journal of the Black Flag team. Reznikov’s luck holds out as he once again avoids a permanent end to his scheming. On the national front, True America has made a successful bid on the White House and are busy replacing political ranks with their own people. It is also suspect that they are involved with much more than the usual political objectives. The Russian political forces are not sitting idly by either. Much is happening; many people are disappearing, and it is unclear who or what organization is behind the turmoil. Daniel and Jessica have made plans to intentionally disappear themselves, but a friend in dire trouble puts an end to those plans. Welcome to another exciting chapter in the Black Flag saga.

Great action

Loved it. Non stop action from beginning to end. I can hardly wait for the next chapter of this story.

Great series!

This book picked up right where the last book finished and continued themes and plot lines from Alpha.

I’m looking forward to the next book!

declining rapidly

overall this will be the last in the series, despite the cliff hanger. the stories have become more of a struggle to follow and the characters have become muddy.

Unfinished...

What disappointed you about Black Flagged Omega?

The author came no where close to telling a story. The book ended with a story that is unfinished.

What was most disappointing about Steven Konkoly’s story?

The author seems unable to complete the story. The author develops too many plot lines and is unable to bring the story to a close. I thought my audio file was incomplete, but as ai replayed the last few minutes I realized the the author left the story incomplete, end at an uninteresting point. I hate to leave a series, but the author was unable to generate enough of my interest to see the series through.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

It was okay

What character would you cut from Black Flagged Omega?

Hard to judge, I am not sure who the main characters are any more.

Any additional comments?

None

Not particularly captivating

A whole novel used as background for the next novel is hardly enough to make one want to jump into the next book.
