First Contact

2014

3813 AD. Reanimated ahead of schedule, Adam Hassler, former Delta Force officer and special agent, leads the first expedition out of David Pilcher's mountain superstructure. His mission is simple. Guide and protect a team of surveyors and scientists, while they study the landscape and collect data for the reconstruction of Wayward Pines. A few hours into the trek, Hassler suspects that the operation has been compromised—by the very people that ordered it. With daylight fading, Hassler's team faces an unknown threat, on unfamiliar ground—in front of an impatient audience. First Contact is Part One of The Genesis Series, a planned trilogy of novellas set in the early days of Blake Crouch's Wayward Pines. Part Two will be released during the summer of 2014, followed shortly by Part Three.

Sanctuary

2014

Impatient to start the construction of Wayward Pines, David Pilcher accelerates the timeline to secure mankind's last known SANCTUARY. But when the heavy-duty machines emerge from the superstructure, the simple task of clearing trees and building a fence turns into a deadly undertaking. While opposing factions struggle to get the fence project back on schedule, Adam Hassler navigates the "new" world, where a single misstep or lapse of focus can spell the difference between life and death. Hell bent on revenge, he travels north toward the fence, devising an all or nothing scheme to get back into Wayward Pines. With the fence nearing completion, the stage is set for a thrilling, no-holds barred finale to the Wayward Pines Genesis Series.

He still wakes up at "zero dark thirty" to write for most of the day. When "off duty," he spends as much time as possible outdoors or travelling with his family—and dog.

His canon of work includes the popular Black Flagged Series, a gritty, no-holds barred covert operations and espionage saga; The Perseid Collapse series, a post-apocalyptic thriller epic chronicling the events surrounding an inconceivable attack on the United States; and The Fractured State series, a near future, dystopian thriller trilogy set in the drought ravaged southwest You can contact Steven directly by email (stevekonkoly@striblingmedia.com) or through his blog (www.stevenkonkoly.com).
