"As a writer, Konkoly has the confidence to give us a guy who we respect, but who clearly is a resident of the black ops swamp. Konkoly doesn't try too hard to make the reader like Petrovich. He has faith that once we get to know Petrovich better, we'll understand his demons and his motivations. And we do." - Amazon Reviewer 2013
"You're never quite certain exactly where this story is headed or how Petrovich will elude capture. However, it's exciting to discover his many spy tricks and tactics. I like this Petrovich character. He's got the smarts of Jack Bauer, the skills of Jack Reacher, and the past of a Jason Bourne!" - Amazon Reviewer 2013

About the Author
Steven graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1993, receiving a bachelor of science in English literature. He served the next eight years on active duty, traveling the world as a naval officer assigned to various Navy and Marine Corps units. His extensive journey spanned the globe, including a two-year tour of duty in Japan and travel to more than twenty countries throughout Asia and the Middle East.
From enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq as a maritime boarding officer in the Arabian Gulf, to directing aircraft bombing runs and naval gunfire strikes as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) assigned to a specialized Marine Corps unit, Steven's "in-house" experience with a wide range of regular and elite military units brings a unique authenticity to his thrillers.
He lives with his family in central Indiana, where he still wakes up at "zero dark thirty" to write for most of the day. When "off duty," he spends as much time as possible outdoors or travelling with his family--and dog.
Steven is the bestselling THRILLER author of ten novels and several novellas, including a commissioned trilogy of novellas based on the popular Wayward Pines series. His canon of thrillers includes the popular Black Flagged Series, a gritty, no-holds barred covert operations and espionage saga; The Perseid Collapse series, a tense thriller epic chronicling the events surrounding an inconceivable attack on the United States; and The Fractured State series, a near-future thriller trilogy set in the drought ravaged southwest
He is an active member of the International Thriller Writers (ITW) and Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) organizations.
