Dan Klasing | Author

Dan Klasing is a writer and lawyer living in Birmingham, Alabama. After graduating from law school, Dan spent the next few decades arguing cases in tiny dilapidated courtrooms in the rural south and opulent federal courthouses in major cities. Along the way, he gathered a host of stories and personalities that found their way into his novels.

Dan first conceived the story that became The Cause after hearing rumors about an actual secret society that existed (or exists?) at a major southern university. Dan melds fact with fiction, and some near science fiction, to create a thrilling adventure that pits a grizzled FBI agent and four young but talented college students against a powerful conspiracy bent on controlling the country – and maybe even the world.

When he’s not challenging the good guys in his books with impenetrable secrets or perilous situations, Dan can usually be found challenging himself with his latest old car restoration or by trying to create the perfect pizza crust.

Book I – The Cause

A stolen superweapon. A rogue physicist. A conspiracy that could shatter the Union.

Deep within the covert labs of Area 51, physicist Rick Donnelly achieves the impossible: unlocking the final breakthrough to make America’s first anti-gravity aircraft fully operational—and virtually unstoppable. But Donnelly casts aside his oath to the United States. His loyalty lies with The Cause—a secretive alliance of powerful families determined to carve a new nation from the American South.

Armed with gravity-wave technology and a century-old blueprint for secession, The Cause is prepared to impose its demands—even if it means igniting a second civil war.

The FBI turns to Special Agent Frank Deal, the nation’s foremost hunter of weapons of mass destruction. But his investigation takes an unexpected turn—to a quiet university in Alabama, where four students have uncovered a secret society with chilling ties to The Cause.

With time running out and the nation on the brink, Deal and his unlikely allies must stop a conspiracy that threatens to rewrite American history—and destabilize the world.

If you enjoy the high-stakes suspense of Vince Flynn, the political intrigue of Brad Thor, or the tactical realism of Tom Clancy, you’ll love Dan Klasing’s explosive thriller, The Cause.

Book II – Wolf Deception

A missing nuclear bomb. A ruthless conspiracy. And a plot that could ignite global war.

Half-buried in the sand, an enormous black casing bears the faded markings of its former owner—USAF. Lost just off the Georgia coast more than sixty years ago, the now-legendary nuclear weapon resurfaces, discovered by two young boys and their scheming father.

But the bomb won’t be returned to the military.
It’s going to The Cause.

Led by former Texas governor Margie Franks, the secret cabal known as The Cause plans to use the weapon to destabilize global markets by targeting critical energy infrastructure. As their plan unfolds, British intelligence intercepts chatter pointing to Oxford University as a hub for a radicalized terror network—led by a legendary extremist known only as The Wolf.

The FBI turns to Special Agent Frank Deal and his elite WMD team. To avoid tipping off the enemy, Deal deploys his most unorthodox asset: four talented American students posing as exchange scholars. When the group uncovers next-generation drone prototypes capable of delivering nuclear payloads across the UK, the threat becomes terrifyingly real.

With time running out, Deal and his allies must unravel a hidden link between The Wolf and a broader conspiracy—one more ambitious than spreading terror alone.
And as they close in, a single question lingers:

Have they been misled by the very mastermind behind The Cause’s endgame?

If you enjoy the global stakes of Brad Thor, the grit of Vince Flynn, and the layered conspiracies of Robert Ludlum, you’ll be hooked by Wolf Deception.

Terminal Silence

A shocking launch. An invincible weapon. A global threat.

In the remote Chilean countryside, a lone dairy farmer witnesses the unthinkable—a rocket soaring into the cold dawn sky from deep in the Andes Mountains. When NORAD confirms the mysterious launch, world leaders demand answers. Instead, they’re met with silence, denial, and escalating threats.

As tensions rise, Special Agent Frank Deal and his elite team of WMD hunters are sent to infiltrate the region and uncover the rocket’s origin. What they find is more dangerous than anything yet launched into orbit: a satellite network capable of weaponizing space and dismantling the world’s orbital communications system.

The launch was just the beginning.

Now, with time running out and global security hanging by a thread, Deal’s team must uncover the truth and stop the invisible cabal known as The Cause—before they unleash their final masterstroke.

Terminal Silence is the explosive third installment in Dan Klasing’s acclaimed Cause series—a tense, globe-spanning thriller where loyalty is tested, power is hidden, and silence can bring the world to its knees.
