Military Espionage to Life in Colt Hawkins Trilogy
Drawing on 26 years of military service and multiple combat deployments, US author Charles A. Stewart has developed a three-book thriller series exploring covert intelligence operations, advanced military technology and international conspiracies.
US author Charles A. Stewart is bringing real-world military experience to the espionage thriller genre through his three-book Colt Hawkins series, which follows a CIA paramilitary officer through increasingly dangerous missions involving intelligence failures, geopolitical rivalries and personal loss.
Charles Stewart is a multi-award-winning author and 26-year military veteran who served in Airborne Infantry and Special Operations units, including multiple combat deployments during Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom.
After sustaining combat-related injuries, Charles turned to writing as part of his recovery. His real-world military experience brings authenticity to the Colt Hawkins Series, while he continues to advocate for disabled veterans, firearm safety, and service dogs.
The series comprises Cry of the Eagle, Sky Thunder and Rogue Vengeance, linking military action with political intrigue and covert operations against threats that cross national borders.
The story begins in Cry of the Eagle, when the failure of the highly sensitive Eagle-9 intelligence satellite triggers an international race to recover technology that could fall into hostile hands. Colt Hawkins and Task Force 24 are deployed to contain the threat but soon uncover a wider network of foreign intelligence interests and covert agendas.
In Sky Thunder, the conflict expands as Hawkins and his team confront powerful international adversaries, sophisticated military technology and geopolitical tensions that could alter the balance of power. The narrative explores leadership, loyalty and survival as the risks escalate.
The final instalment, Rogue Vengeance, shifts the stakes from professional duty to personal retribution. An attack on a significant day in Hawkins' life leaves him and Dr Liberty Starr seriously wounded, prompting Task Force 24 to investigate a far-reaching conspiracy.
Together, the books present a connected narrative centred on military service, the demands of command and the relationships forged under pressure. The series is aimed at readers interested in espionage fiction, CIA operations, military thrillers and political suspense.
Stewart's background distinguishes the series from purely fictional treatments of military life. According to his author biography, he is a 26-year military veteran who served in Airborne Infantry and Special Operations units, with combat deployments during Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
After sustaining combat-related injuries, Stewart turned to writing as part of his recovery. He also advocates for disabled veterans, firearm safety and service dogs.
The Colt Hawkins trilogy reflects the continuing appeal of military fiction that combines action-driven storytelling with questions of intelligence, national security and the human cost of service. While the novels are fictional, Stewart draws on his military background to inform their portrayal of operational pressures and the responsibilities carried by those serving in high-risk environments.
All three books are available through Amazon: Cry of the Eagle, Sky Thunder and Rogue Vengeance.
