About the Series

In the Taz Blackwell Series, Brooks Yeager crafts an unlikely hero for our uneasy times. Taz, a former diplomat turned reluctant environmental crusader, drifts between solitude and duty, chasing peace while colliding with power. In Chilly Winds, a quiet island life tangles with global intrigue; in Jaguar’s Claw, the fight moves to the burning Amazon. With lyrical precision and a realist’s bite, Yeager weaves adventure, conscience, and consequence into thrillers that remind us — the planet’s survival is personal.
