Collaborative Series & Co-Authored Projects
Allan Leverone has participated in several collaborative and multi-author continuity projects, which can sometimes confuse readers trying to map out his standalone bibliography. Here is what you need to know about these projects:
The Flight 12 Collaborative Project
The Flight 12 (or Flight 12 Begins) project was a unique continuity series where twelve different thriller writers each contributed an installment featuring their own recurring characters, all revolving around a central mystery: the disappearance of Skyway Flight 12. While the local database lists multiple books in this group, Allan Leverone's sole contribution is Flight 12: A Kristin Cunningham Thriller (2014). This novella serves as a direct follow-up to Leverone's standalone thriller Final Vector (2011) and features FBI Agent Kristin Cunningham. The other books listed in the collection, such as Moonlight Breaks Bad (written by Vincent Zandri) and Side Steal (written by Robert Gregory Browne), feature different protagonists from those authors' respective universes and are not written by Leverone.
The Linger Series (As Edward Fallon)
The Linger series is a collaborative supernatural suspense project written under the shared house pen name "Edward Fallon," originally created by author Robert Gregory Browne. Although there are seven books in the main lineup, Allan Leverone specifically co-authored only one volume: Linger: Mark of the Beast (Book 6, 2016). The other volumes in the series (including Dying is a Wild Night, Trail of the Beast, Reckoning for the Damned, Here There Be Monsters, The Death of Dreams, and Journey of a Thousand Miles) were written by Robert Gregory Browne and other guest authors using the Fallon moniker.
Drunk on the Moon Anthology
Drunk on the Moon: A Roman Dalton Anthology (2011) is a collaborative collection of stories centering around Roman Dalton, a werewolf private investigator created by author Paul D. Brazill. Allan Leverone participated by contributing a short story titled "The Darke Affair" to the anthology.
Standalone Novels
If you prefer self-contained stories without the commitment of a series, Leverone has published several standalone thrillers:
- Final Vector (2011) – A high-stakes aviation thriller that introduces FBI Agent Kristin Cunningham. It is highly recommended to read this book before diving into Leverone's Flight 12 novella.
- The Lonely Mile (2011) – A gritty standalone crime and noir novel.
- Covenant (2017) – A dark thriller dealing with dark promises and suspense.
- The Lupin Project (2017) – A science-fiction tinged thriller.
Short Stories, Novellas, and Collections
