Pseudonyms
Jan Domagala
Jan started out as an independent writer and published his first book Ronin in which was to be the first in the ten-book series called the Col Sec Series. The book was set in a futuristic timeline about Kurt Stryder, a Special Forces soldier assigned to Col Sec, Colonial Security. He volunteers for an experimental program that changes him forever and puts him in the pathway of an enemy that will stop at nothing to obtain what they consider to be the key to controlling the galaxy. With this new threat, Kurt has to decide whether to remain a pawn of his government or to become a soldier with no master. The latest edition along with the four other sequels has been published under Red Penguin.
In an interview with Red Penguin Books, he says the reason he chose to set the timeline for Ronin to the future was that he'd tried to write a modern-day thriller and there was a lot of research on modern-day tech and such that he found extremely difficult to get the details right, so he decided he could make it up because by setting it on a future planet, no one can argue with him.[4]
The Duncan Pryde Series which comprises of one book, Lone Operator published in September 2021 and the second book, Raine of Terror set to be released on April 8th 2022.

As Jack Dillon, Jan wrote six books comprising of the SI6 and ATLAS series as an independent author he says the third book in the ATLAS series is his favourite book as it's the one he relates personally to the most.[4]
