In the Dark of the Sun
In the Dark of the Sun

JAKE TYLER Book 1


Co-authored with Kim Martin, the first Jake Tyler thriller puts him in the cross-hairs of a powerful cartel in a race to outrun the U.S. and Colombian military through hundreds of miles of jungle. Tyler is on the most out of control mission of his life, complicated by an unexpected love and a betrayal by his best friend. Based on Mykel's background and experiences fighting the drug wars, the novel is a rollercoaster of action, adventure, and romance.


In the Dark of the Sun
Under A Hard Blue Sky

JAKE TYLER Book 2


Co-authored with Kim Martin, Jake is on another daunting mission, just two weeks after the life-altering one in Colombia, South America—this, in one of the most remote and hostile regions of the Congo, faced with heart-wrenching dilemmas, battling the most egregious predators imaginable in the shadow of the spear. Hope and the human spirit is on the line. Jake Tyler is back.



In the Dark of the Sun
Dig to the Death

JAKE TYLER Book 3


Co-authored with Kim Martin, Jake Tyler has decided what comes next in his life, and his newest mission seems to fall right into place. After a series of grueling and gut-wrenching ops, he is more than ready for some restorative respite, ready to embrace a joy that has eluded him over his hardened years as a military operative. But, as with most things in his realm, it doesn’t happen as he expects.

MYKEL'S GEAR



One of the first products designed by Mykel Hawke was produced and sold by Tops Knives. The Hawke Hellion Survivor and the smaller Elite version were widely acclaimed and much in demand during Hawke's association with Tops. With a desire to design more unique products across multiple categories of survival tools, Mykel worked to create his own Brand, where he produced a line of knives which included the popular Harrier and Peregrine. He also introduced some one-of-a-kind tools, including the HASP axe and Hawkchete.


Mykel's first product line was Mykel Hawke Knives, which was expanded to cover the full outdoor adventure spectrum with The Hawke Brand. The Hawke Brand encompasses training and products created or supported by Mykel Hawke for families and professionals alike, for everyone every day or for taking it to the extreme. Tough, tested, and tailored to provide new solutions to timeless challenges from cutting-edge serious to limitless fun!
