Book: Black Flagged Alpha

Author: Steven Konkoly

Year published: 2015

Date finished: December, 2017

Genre:Thriller

Rating: 7/10

Review: Black Flagged Alpha by Steven Konkily is the first in the "Black Flag" series about a group of super-secret rogue agents of a subgroup of the CIA. It's a good example of the sub-genre of agents, spies, violence and conspiracies.


The protagonist, Daniel Petrovich, had retired. Black Flag Alpha starts when he is recalled to duty in order to kill someone. From there, the action never stops and there are twists and more twists that will keep you turning the pages.

One thing I found annoying is the careless use of language.  It's not so much that the book isn't grammatical, it mostly is fine on that score. But it could have used some more editing.

About the Author: Konkoly is a graduate of the US Naval Academy and served in the Navy and Marines for 8 years. He has written ten novels and lives in Indiana.
