Skyfire (Adam Knight Thrillers Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 1,490 ratings

In the heart of Africa, a storm is brewing. Can one man prevent a war that could consume the world?

Tribal and ethnic tensions are on the brink of erupting into full-blown conflict in the East African nation of Numbani. As one faction maintains a tenuous grip on power, another is desperate to overthrow it, aided by illegal arms pouring in from an unknown source.

The secret arm of the CIA—Penumbra Division—sends their top operative, Adam Knight, to uncover the truth. Scarred by battles past, Knight faces the critical question: Does he still have what it takes to navigate the complex world of deception?

On the scorching sands of Numbani, Knight finds an unexpected ally in Genevieve Imara, a determined local striving for justice. Imara seeks the masterminds behind a series of brutal attacks on civilian villages, but her quest soon draws her deep into the heart of a new civil war. Together, they confront battle-hardened warlords, a ruthless assassin, and a cabal of wealthy elites playing a lethal game.

As the situation spirals, the duo must navigate a treacherous maze of peril and deceit. With every move, they draw nearer to uncovering a conspiracy that threatens global stability. Can they dismantle the deadly plot before it's too late, or will they become just another statistic in a grim tally of casualties?

If the high-octane narratives of Tom Clancy, Lee Child, Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn, and Ian Fleming keep you turning pages late into the night, then prepare to be engrossed by the world of Adam Knight.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My passion for storytelling began as a child, sparked by the exploits of James Bond and the action films of the 80s and 90s. As I grew, I found inspiration in the literary works of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Lee Child.

In 2024, I released my debut novel, Shadow Operative, the first in the Adam Knight Thriller series. What began as a single book has since grown into a fast-paced, globe-trotting series spanning four novels...and counting. In June 2025, I’ll be launching a spin-off set in the same universe centering on Penumbra Division, starting with The Last Operator.

In early 2025, I signed a multibook deal with Boldwood Books to launch a brand-new series featuring Dane Winter, an elite ex-soldier turned freelance operative. The first book is set for release in October.

Off the page, I’m a devoted husband and proud father to a son and daughter. Without them, none of this would be possible.

    This book has some interesting speculations about what a satellite in space might be capable of doing. It all depends on who controls it. And therein lies the problem.

    This was an adventure and Adam Knight is a great operative. The story had serious mayhem and chaos to keep you on the edge of your seat. Knight's ghostly partner, Imara kicks the action and thrills up to a new level. Both Knight and Imara working to take down enemies.

    Adam Knight stands with heroes like Case Lee and Mason Sharpe. All shaped by terrible losses in their lives. Their loss somehow spuring them on to thumb their nose at dangerous situations and tempting death at every turn as they destroy the bad guys!
    Sam Cogley has done a masterful job of weaving story lines that are intricate and exciting page turners. I'm looking forward to the next installment Sam.

    What an adventure! What a ride! From start to finish, Skyfire is hot! Adam Knight is one hell of an operative. Every page is filled with adventure, serious mayhem and chaos, SURPRISES and edge of your seat ACTION!

    And, Knight's "ghostly" partner, Imara kicks the action and thrills to a badassery level. Together, Knight and Imara chase down & beat down enemies while on a mission to stop impending terror against humanity.

    The Adam Knight Thrillers series has a fan in me.

    Love the character, Adam Knight. Love his attitude thinking and resolve. Great how the Authors descriptive narrative puts you there right from the Prologue. Couldn't put it down as wanted to know what happened next. Am looking forward to reading more on the life of the Protagonist.

    A fast moving story but not as focused as the opening book in the series. Not quite a save the world story but not too far adrift. The bigger picture, or end game, if you like, is a curious one. I’d love to say more but can’t do so without giving the game away.

    I found this story a slow starter for me. But, when it got going I was unable to put my kindle down. A bit of our J B in there, but more twists and turns than a curly wurly. Bring on No.3, can't wait.

    This was a follow on from the first. It has held my interest to the end. Usual spy stuff but good.
