About the Nick Foley series
Before writing military thrillers as Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, the duo published two espionage novels under the joint pen name Alex Ryan, following Nick Foley, a covert operative caught between biosecurity threats and great-power espionage across Asia. Beijing Red (2016) centers on a bioweapon plot originating in China; Hong Kong Black (2017) continues Foley's story with a new international conspiracy.

Read in publication order: Beijing Red (2016), then Hong Kong Black (2017). No further Nick Foley novels have been published; Andrews and Wilson have since written under their own names for Tier One, Sons of Valor, The Shepherds and their Tom Clancy continuation work.
