The Formosa Run

Huck Rogers doesn't go looking for trouble. Trouble has a way of finding him anyway.

Off the coast of Taiwan, a routine job turns into a dangerous race through contested waters, where small mistakes carry international consequences. Huck finds himself aboard a fishing boat that doesn't have the luxury of speed, firepower, or plausible deniability. Behind him is a Chinese destroyer. Ahead of him is open water, bad weather, and a narrowing set of choices.

The Formosa Run is a tense, grounded thriller set in a part of the world where politics, commerce, and survival overlap in uncomfortable ways. There are no superheroes here, no clean victories. Just people trying to get through the day without making the one decision that can't be taken back.

This is the fourth novel in the Huck Rogers series, a set of stand-alone adventures connected by a shared world and a recurring cast. Each book can be read on its own, but together they form a larger life shaped by travel, risk, and the quiet weight of experience.

If you enjoy modern adventure fiction with real places, restrained action, and characters who carry the cost of what they've done, you're in the right place.
