Goodreads asked Steven Hildreth Jr.:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Steven Hildreth Jr. After reading Jack Murphy's TARGET DECK, I'd definitely wanted to delve into the world of the Mexican drug cartels. The idea blossomed around the time I was writing my second novel, THE SOVEREIGNS. That's why that novel ends in a cliffhanger: I knew my next book would head south of the border.

My own research into the drug war just solidified my decision to write that book. Though THE RONIN GENESIS doesn't exactly hit the topic in full, you definitely get a burst of education from it.

That won't be the last time Ben Williams visits Mexico.
