Pax West: Books 1-3
(2026)(A book in the Pax West series)
An omnibus of novels by Christopher Cartwright
The first three explosive Pax West thrillers in one complete collection.
At four years old, Pax West nearly killed another child.
Neurologists discovered that the part of his brain responsible for emotion, morality, and empathy was missing. Most believed he would never survive to adulthood. Some believed he should never be allowed to.
Dr. Alan Kepler of DARPA saw the perfect weapon.
Trained from childhood and bound by an unbreakable sense of duty, Pax became a Navy SEAL at eighteen and a CIA Ghost at twenty-four - a man who didn’t officially exist, carrying out missions that could never be acknowledged.
But even the perfect weapon can turn against its maker.
SCORCHED EARTH
When the man who created him betrays the country Pax was built to protect, Pax faces an impossible mission. To prevent World War III, he must hunt down his former mentor - and save the very enemy he has been ordered to kill.
NOTHING TO LOSE
Arriving in Portland with no past and nowhere to go, Pax is arrested for the murder of his niece and thrown into Oregon State Penitentiary.
Inside, he meets Elliot Brooks, a man serving life for killing his own daughter. Elliot has no memory of the crime and no reason to live—until a photograph reveals that his daughter may still be alive.
Finding her means escaping one of America’s toughest prisons and uncovering who framed him.
The only question is whether Pax is willing to risk everything for a stranger.
CARIBBEAN WRAITH
The Caribbean Sea is perfectly still.
No land. No ships. No hope of rescue.
Dehydrated, delirious, and drifting alone beneath the blazing sun, Pax knows he is dying. Of all the ways he imagined his life ending, this was never one of them.
But for Pax West, surviving the ocean may be the easy part.
Three relentless thrillers. One lethal operative. No rules, no limits, and nothing left to lose.
