I'm Dave, a Pittsburgh-based author, musician, and history junkie turning late-night "what-ifs" into high-stakes fiction. The Vostok Directive is my debut thriller — a dark, twisty ride through espionage, corruption, and the ghosts of the Cold War, set in a future that looks uncomfortably like now.
Right now, I'm building more than just a book — I'm creating an experience: trading cards, bookmarks, deep lore, and more. So stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
What do I like?
Give me Chandler’s weary wit, Hammett’s hard edges, L’Amour’s code of honor, Cussler’s explosive spectacle, and Alistair MacLean’s cold, ticking tension.
The Vostok Directive is what happens when you mix all that with Cold War ghosts, a dying democracy, and one last mission that might be worth it.
