Myrmidon Files Books in Order

The Myrmidon Files move the Maddock universe away from salvage crews and treasure hunters and into intelligence work. These books follow Tamara Tam Broderick and her elite CIA task force, the Myrmidons, as they try to stop the Dominion and other threats before local violence turns into something much larger.

The scale shifts fast.

Destiny opens on the Texas border, where a massacre threatens to trigger political chaos well beyond the immediate crime scene. Tam knows the Dominion is involved, but knowing who is behind the problem is not the same as understanding what they are trying to build. Mystic keeps the pressure on with unexplained deaths, a figure calling himself the Immortal, and a plan aimed at the global economy, all tangled up with a medieval relic that may or may not be the real objective.

What separates this line from the other David Wood series is the institutional frame. Tam is not freelancing. She has a team, a mission, and an intelligence mindset. That means the books feel more like espionage thrillers even when the plot starts brushing against relics, prophecy, or secret history. You still get puzzles, but they are nested inside surveillance, strategy, and the need to stop events before the public even understands what is happening.

Tam is a strong lead for this material. She is practical, competent, and used to pressure. The books work because they trust her to carry both the operational side and the human stakes.

If the Dane Maddock novels are adventure first, the Myrmidon Files are closer to covert-ops thrillers with one foot in the same myth-rich universe. Readers who like the Dominion as a recurring force, or who want to see how Wood's world behaves when the government is paying attention, should get a lot out of this branch.
