Details: THE FIRST THREE VOLUMES OF MICHAEL FROST BECKNER’S SERIAL ESPIONAGE SAGA, KALEIDOSCOPE

These first three volumes form the complete opening act of the six-book Kaleidoscope saga.
"Nobody captures espionage quite like Beckner... Dialogue so sharp it’s like dancing on hot coals."
—I.S. Berry, Edgar Award-winning author of The Peacock and the Sparrow
"First-class spy novels with a smart, gritty atmosphere."
—Charles Cumming, international bestselling author of Kennedy 35 and BOX 88
Three generations of a CIA family collide with the Agency’s deadliest secret. For one to survive, the other must fall.

Hidden within the CIA, KALEIDOSCOPE manipulates the global balance of energy—its possession, production, and disruption. Its operatives don’t shape nations. They tilt history itself.
In Kaleidoscope, Michael Frost Beckner—creator of Spy Game, the film that redefined the modern espionage thriller—fuses intelligence fiction with the Southern Gothic tradition in a multigenerational saga of legacy, betrayal, and the illusions we call family.
KALEIDOSCOPE is not just another spy series. It is a family drama disguised as espionage. A tragedy of inheritance mistaken for patriotic duty. A love story—thwarted, divided, corrupted—hidden inside a global conspiracy.
But no family can serve two masters.
BOOK ONE: 4th of July
“Nobody vanishes,” Silas Kingston, former CIA Chief of Counterintelligence, insists. But one Kingston has.
When CIA officer Michael Kingston disappears in Turkey, his family—spies, spouses, children—fracture. A missing agent. A forbidden operation. A generational lie finally exposed. And left behind at Langley, his sister Lynn begins to see the cracks running through the Agency's façade.
BOOK TWO: Birthday
A celebration of family lies, and the cost of knowing where you come from.
On the eve of her 18th birthday, Michael's daughter Paige Kingston’s world unravels. Her SpecOps uncle Hal is sent to betray his blood. Her aunt Lynn defies the CIA to expose KALEIDOSCOPE. And Clive Lancer—British intelligence, watching them all—grows too close. Meanwhile, Melody Kingston uncovers the buried history of Foxtail Farm: a rebellion, a massacre, and a secret that could destroy them all.
BOOK THREE: Halloween
The children carve jack-o’-lanterns. In Moscow, Michael loses his soul.
Haunted by his mother’s memory and the manipulations of Kolya Yurenev—codename Kalaydoskop—Michael crosses into Russia, chasing both truth and annihilation. In Washington, Lynn sacrifices an innocent man to keep the operation alive. And in Beijing, China’s Ministry of State Security launches their answer to KALEIDOSCOPE.

"Michael Frost Beckner is the rarest of spy novelists—a beautiful and compelling writer with a mastery of tradecraft and a deep understanding of how espionage really works."
—Joe Weisberg, former CIA officer and Emmy-winning creator of The Americans

A family of spies.
A legacy of betrayal.
The illusions of love, country, and truth—shattered.

The deadliest thing you inherit... is the truth.
