// Book One

Agent Karl Indigo went undercover for the ATF. He never came back. In his place, a new king is about to rise from the wreckage of Miami's underworld.

Now a crew of ex-soldiers, mercenaries, and wild cards is rising from Miami's neon underworld—armed, dangerous, and hungry for power. Every deal is a gamble. Every rival will kill for your business. Every step forward is one closer to the grave, and the federal agents circling from the shadows have their own scores to settle.

Where justice is a lie, and power is paid for in blood.

// Book Two

Miami, 1984. The Gun-Runners are running the city—but the ATF wants revenge, a rival syndicate wants them dead, and Karl Indigo was supposed to be a ghost. Every alliance is a liability now, and every old friend is a potential bullet in the back.

Lamborghinis. Ferraris. A heist that lights up the skyline. And a city erupting into all-out war, with old scores settled in fire and new enemies rising from the ashes before the smoke even clears.

One last run. No extra lives.

// Book Three

Miami's ATF office is reeling from catastrophe—agents dead, a legendary gun runner still at large, and the man in charge quietly gone. Washington's verdict: clean it up.

Special Agent in Charge Vanessa Carter inherits a shattered operation, a battered ally in Roxy Delgado, and a small team with more to prove than to protect. Then a routine seizure exposes a hidden supply chain—one built to hit sixty thousand fans at a championship game broadcast live across the country.

Somewhere inside, another clock is counting down.

// Book Four

Dallas and Cassidy Knox are tearing across the American West in a black 1970 Dodge Challenger, robbing banks and chasing a crown no lawman can take from them. They've already forced their way onto the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, and they see it only as the beginning.

The Special Investigations Bureau sends Johnny Drake and Eddie Chicane after them—one a hardened career agent, the other young, fast, and driving a white Lamborghini. Their order: bring the Knoxes in, dead or alive.

A neon-noir western where the chase never stops.

Every town has one. The urban legend your parents told you to keep you on your side of the fence after dark.

In Obsidian Hollow, that story belongs to Billy Bob. When a group of teenagers choose the woods for their end-of-term camping trip, they are not thinking about old stories.

They should have listened to their parents.

The Author

Jono Way

Jono Way is the creator of the Gun Runners franchise—a neon-soaked, bullet-riddled saga set in the blazing underworld of 1980s Miami. His stories are pure synthwave pulp: cinematic shootouts, corrupted empires, and desperate souls running from the past under the electric glow of pink and purple skies.

An unapologetic child of the 1980s, he was raised on He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats, cassette tapes, rock music, and the holy grail of nostalgia: Saturday morning cartoons and a bowl of cereal bigger than your head. When he writes, he’s channeling the decade that never died—because it still lives in the beat of his heart, the crackle of vinyl, and the guitar solo that kicks in right when you think all hope is lost.

His favorite song of all time?

“The Boys of Summer” by Don Henley—because nothing captures lost time, fading glory, and the ache of memory quite like it.
