THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE
Scott Madison Evers is the son-in-law of the Chairman of the National Security Council. His wife is pregnant with their first child. While in Munich conducting a rendition of a known terrorist, Scott's cover is blown. Before Scott can get away, his entire operations team is wiped out, and he alone escapes into the night.
When Scott returns to the U.S., he finds himself a wanted man, and must go on the run from the agency that is trying to convict him of high treason. Now Scott conducts secret surveillance of those he thinks can give him a way out while slowly getting drawn into a web of deceit. Ruthlessly, the other side draws his wife and unborn child into the struggle. Scott's only hope to save them and himself is to do the unthinkable, and that is what he sets out to do.
THE CARDS IN THE DECK
In his #1 Fiction bestseller The Pieces of the Puzzle, Stanek masterfully brought readers into a world of intrigue and espionage, a world where former intelligence analyst Scott Evers found himself in a desperate race against a mysterious machine that could control the world's financial markets, bringing ruin not unlike the great economic collapse that came into our reality a few years after the book was published.
In Cards in the Deck, the exciting follow-up to The Pieces of the Puzzle, Stanek brings readers into darker corners of the same world, where the most powerful intelligence organizations on earth, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the United States Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean are about to go head to head with terrorists the likes of which the world has never seen.
In the heart of the Mediterranean, Scott Evers is drawn into a harrowing world centered around one of history's most elite military warrior forces: the Navy SEALs. Facing a chilling, relentless adversary, Evers is pulled into a landscape of Navy strike groups, tactical response teams, and killers willing to do anything it takes to get the job done.
Drawing from his past experiences as an analyst and operative, Evers races to find answers and decide whom to trust... before the world becomes a place we no longer recognize.
Robert Stanek grew up in a small town where the lines between friendship, responsibility, and the longing for something more were often blurred. Much like Bob in Almost California, Stanek spent his high school years juggling personal struggles, tight-knit friendships, and a desire to break free from the confines of small-town life. The themes of emotional weight, family responsibility, and the unspoken bonds between friends resonate deeply with him.During his own teenage years, Stanek held an unlikely high school job that shaped his understanding of hard work and personal growth-lessons that would later inspire the characters and stories he writes today. His ability to capture the complexities of coming of age stems from those early experiences and his love of exploring the pivotal moments that shape who we become.When he's not writing, Stanek enjoys immersing himself in the music and culture of the 1980s, the era that influenced Almost California. He believes that even when we're looking for an escape, the things we want to leave behind often hold the key to understanding who we truly are.Stanek lives with his family in Washington state in the USA, where he is at work on his next novel.Readers can connect with Robert Stanek on his website robert-stanek.com, where they can explore more of his works, learn about upcoming releases, and delve into his life and history.
