The J.B. Collins series takes a different angle on Joel C. Rosenberg’s geopolitical thrillers by placing a journalist at the center of the action. Collins is a New York Times foreign correspondent who finds himself at the intersection of terrorist plots and diplomatic crises across three books published between 2015 and 2017.
The shift from intelligence operatives to a journalist protagonist gives Rosenberg a new lens for exploring his signature themes. Collins observes and reports on events that put him in danger, offering readers a perspective grounded in the realities of war correspondence rather than covert operations.
