Black Flagged Apex

About Black Flagged Apex

Black Flagged Apex takes place on the heels of Black Flagged Redux. Admittedly, I took a little heat for ending Redux with the virus canisters unrecovered and Petrovich's team still pursuing leads related to Al Qaeda's possible intention to unleash the virus in the United States. For me, this was a logical cut off point for the novel, since most of the conflict had been resolved in the novel, and I couldn't go any further without locking myself into another 500 pages. I'm not ready to present a one-thousand-page novel to readers, and I assume that many of you feel the same. As you read Apex, I think you'll better understand why I separated the two stories. They are uniquely different in many ways. For those that found the Redux ending to be abrupt, I thank you for persevering to read the series.

Like Black Flagged Redux, keep in mind that the scenes occur in chronological order and are labeled in local time. Here is a short list of the time zone differences between the locations featured in the Black Flagged Apex and the U.S. East Coast: Argentina +2 hours, Moscow +9 hours, Germany +6 hours, Novosibirsk +11 hours, Sweden +6 hours.

Finally, don't forget about the character list, which can be accessed from the link below and is accessible through the table of contents. You can also print one from my blog www.stevenkonkoly.com. I'm not saying you'll need it, but Black Flagged Apex adds to the memorable character list from Black Flagged Redux.

As always, enjoy the book and don't hesitate to contact me with your thoughts and feedback at stevekonkoly@gmail.com
