The first novel in the series, Control Point (released January 31, 2012), centers on Lieutenant Oscar Britton of the United States Army. Britton finds himself supporting the Supernatural Operations Corps (SOC), a branch of the United States military tasked with responding to and policing supernatural threats, including people manifesting magical powers. After responding to an incident involving two teenage "Latents" who go on a rampage in a high school, Britton suddenly begins manifesting the ability to create magical gates. Unfortunately, this power is one of several "prohibited" abilities, and Britton finds himself a sudden fugitive, sent on the run for abilities he has no control over. Captured by the SOC, he is given a simple choice: be "hired" as a "private contractor" for the SOC, or be killed because of his excessively dangerous powers. Taking the choice that will keep him alive, Britton is put to work using his gate-creating powers to support military operations as part of a unit known as "Shadow Coven" - a small squad of magic-using contractors with skills in using the dangerous prohibited schools of magic. As the book progresses, Britton is forced to grapple with issues of personal and national loyalty, freedom versus security, and his own status as a superhuman who is effectively enslaved by his own government and military.
The second book, Fortress Frontier, was released on January 29, 2013. In addition to continuing Britton's story, it introduces a new character, Colonel Alan Bookbinder, who is drafted into the SOC after turning up Latent, with an as-yet-unknown school. In the aftermath of a violent disaster at the climax of the previous book, he has to take command of the remaining forces at FOB Frontier, deep within the Source, and lead them to safety.
The third book, Breach Zone, was released on January 28, 2014. Scylla, the secondary villain from the first two books, returns to attack New York City with an army of monsters gathered from the Source, and it is up to a badly outnumbered military force under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Jan "Harlequin" Thorssen to save the city.
The first in a prequel trilogy, Gemini Cell, was released on January 27, 2015. It takes place during the Great Awakening, after high-level government agencies discover that many individuals have gained supernatural abilities but before it becomes public knowledge. Starring Jim Schweitzer, a commando brought Back from the Dead by Necromancy, it focuses less on the "individual versus society" drama of the first trilogy and more on a soldier's internal conflict between his duty and his conscience - with the ever-present threat of death for disobedience.
The second book in the prequel trilogy, Javelin Rain, was released on March 29, 2016. Schweitzer has fled his handlers, and is now on the run with his wife and son. However, the government no longer considers him human; instead they see him as a missing Weapon of Mass Destruction - one to be reclaimed or destroyed at any cost.
The third book in the prequel trilogy, Siege Line, will be released on on October 31, 2017. Though having successfully captured a key political backer of the shadowy organization that murdered and reanimated him, Schweitzer and his son are still on the run. However, his actions have turned the Gemini Cell into a rogue agency - and the government is offering him amnesty in exchange for his help in taking them down. All he needs to do is prevent a powerful group of magical adepts from controlling a dangerous source of magical power in Mysterious Antarctica. Well, as the SEALs always say, "The only easy day was yesterday." And he died yesterday.
