Series background & context
The Medusa Project introduces one of Cindy Dees's signature teams: an all-female Special Forces unit operating under an experiment that many people expect to fail. The women are expected to perform at the highest level, even while the people in charge question whether they should have been given the chance at all.
Failure is built into the plan.
The first novel, The Medusa Project, follows Air Force Major Vanessa Blake as she leads the inaugural team. Her trainer, Lieutenant Colonel Jake Scatalone, has been ordered to prove that women do not belong in Special Forces. When he disappears on a critical mission, Vanessa and the team must act in a situation that exposes both the program's political stakes and their real ability.
Later books, including The Medusa Game, The Medusa Prophecy, The Medusa Affair, and Medusa Rising, expand the unit's world through new missions and romances. Each story gives a different woman the chance to prove herself in the field, while the larger project remains a target for people who want it shut down.
The tone is action-heavy but emotionally direct. The Medusas are skilled, stubborn, and often forced to work with men who underestimate them. The romances work because both partners have to recognize the other person's competence under pressure.
Start with The Medusa Project. The books offer individual love stories, but the team's history and fight for survival make the series most satisfying in order.
