Vol. 1 : Helix Rising
Before the Stockton campaign. Before the White House. Before the Helix Project formed in secret, a young Navy officer was forged into Washington’s most dangerous asset.
Helix Rising declassifies the origin of Tony “AJ” McCollister, five years before the events of DoubleHelix. What begins as routine service quickly becomes a ruthless education in political power, covert intelligence, and the quiet art of making problems disappear.
Dragged into a loyalty game he never wanted to play, Tony learns with every secret kept, and every lie told, that he has one undeniable talent:
He doesn’t follow orders.
He engineers outcomes.
Vol. 2 Inside the Coil
When You Can't Escape the Machine... You Become It
Once Stockton is handed the White House, Tony McCollister is handed the Helix Project.
Inside the Coil follows Tony “AJ” McCollister on his first true covert assignment: to find Mike Green.
Picking up where DoubleHelix ends, what begins as routine intelligence gathering spirals into a ruthless game of espionage, betrayal, and leverage—where loyalty is a weapon and truth is currency.
He’s good enough to get in over his head.
Smart enough to survive it.
And ruthless enough to learn, with every secret kept and every lie told, that power doesn’t reward morality.
He may be the best.
But there is always someone better.
Vol. 3 After the Sprial
He Gave His Country Everything - They Still Came For More
The mission was supposed to end in Miami.
Instead, Tony McCollister is dragged before a Senate inquiry that threatens to expose the covert world he's built—and the lies that keep it running.
Every decision is under scrutiny.
Every ally is a liability.
Every truth is negotiable.
But the greatest threat isn’t what the Committee could shut down—it’s what’s left of the man after he’s dragged out of the shadows.
As the walls close in, Tony is forced to confront a reality he’s spent years avoiding: There is no life outside the machine.
