OPSIG Team Black is a covert government unit operating in the shadows of international intelligence work, and the four books in this series take the team from domestic threats to global missions. The Hunted (2001) launched the series, with Hard Target, The Lost Codex, and Dark Side of the Moon following over the next seventeen years. Jacobson brings the same research-driven approach to these books that he uses in the Karen Vail series, though the OPSIG books have a broader, more international scope.

The series sits comfortably alongside classic American espionage and action thrillers, with plots that involve government conspiracies, rare artifacts, and operations that can’t officially exist. Readers who want something with more tradecraft and covert action than the Vail books will find OPSIG Team Black scratches a different itch within Jacobson’s catalog.
