Steven Konkoly's Devin Gray series follows a CIA field officer navigating the intersection of foreign intelligence, domestic counter-terrorism, and the bureaucratic friction that makes both harder than they should be. Faster-paced and more espionage-focused than Black Flagged, the Devin Gray books are Konkoly's most accessible entry point for thriller readers coming from the intelligence side rather than the military side.
Start with Deep Sleep (Book 1). This is Konkoly's most espionage-forward series — the focus is intelligence tradecraft rather than direct action, with a Russian sleeper cell arc threading through the books. Read in order; the antagonist network evolves across entries.
