True, a thriller need be no more than a work that thrills readers -- a sort of wild carnival ride -- spanning every possible genre. I, however, have always felt that action needs a counterpoint in order to keep the action new and exciting. My favorite counterpoint is romance, and QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) is a good example of this. While the action takes unfolds, so does the growing relationship between Koski and Falk, begun in the first of the Koski and Falk Series, WHO'S KILLING ALL THE LAWYERS? (Savant 2011). In QUANTUM DEATH they are confronted by two major obstacles: First, they are both field agents and risk their individual and collective death with every new assignment. Second, they each carry with them a lot of emotional baggage from the past. Koski has just recently left a failed marriage; Falk's wife died some years ago in mysterious circumstances. Can anything other than a brief adventure-romace result? I think so, and in talks with A. G. Hayes, he's indicated the same. 

In this, the fifth book in the Koski and Falk series, Koski confronts Kate Keenan, and imagines an uncomfortable triangle forming. But is it real, or is this just her growing love for Falk taking the form of jealously? And what does it matter anyway to two professional agents facing death at every turn? Can they find a personal place in between their adventures? I'll let Koski and Falk tell you themselves in QUANTUM DEATH. 

Oh, and Kate Keenan? Kate has her own book coming out soon, FINDING KATE (Savant in final preparation).
