Chess Team is from a series of novels by Jeremy Robinson. Sigma Force is from James Rollins’ books. MHI (Monster Hunter International) is the focus of a series by Larry Correia. Sam Hunter appears in his own series of stories by Maberry. Seal Team 666 is from Weston Ochse’s novels.

Crossover Cover: Dogs of War

 

Joe Ledger says that because of recent problems, cases that should have gone to the Department of Military Sciences instead went to other “specialists” such as Sigma Force and Seal Team 666. Tucker Wayne and his dog Kane are mentioned, along with Chess Team, and Agent Franks makes a cameo. Sigma Force is the subject of a series of novels by James Rollins. Tucker Wayne and Kane are from another series by Rollins and Grant Blackwood. Seal Team 666 is from Weston Ochse’s books. Chess Team is from a series of books by Jeremy Robinson. Agent Franks, from Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter International series, met Ledger in the story “Weaponized Hell.”

Crossover Cover: Joe Ledger: Unstoppable

 

This anthology of stories featuring Jonathan Maberry's character Joe Ledger has several stories in which the contributors have Ledger meeting their own characters.

In Jon McGoran's "Strange Harvest," Ledger and McGoran's detective Doyle Carrick investigate a pharmaceutical corporation. 

In Scott Sigler's "Vacation," Ledger, vacationing in San Francisco, is asked to investigate the murder of two DEA agents. Inspector Lawrence “Pookie” Chang takes Ledger to the mansion of a possible suspect, Jebediah Erickson. Chang and Erickson are from Sigler’s novel Nocturnal.

In Larry Correia's "Psych Eval," the Department of Military Sciences must deal with a demonically possessed agent. Agent Franks has been contacted and is on his way. Franks is from Correia’s Monster Hunter International series.

In Jeremy Robinson's "Prince of Peace," an enigmatic group takes Joe Ledger and Chess Team’s Jack Sigler prisoner. Chess Team is the subject of a series of novels by Robinson. 

In James R. Tuck's "White Flame on Sunday," Ledger joins forces with monster hunter Deacon Chalk to combat a Sumerian elephant cult. Like Ledger, Tuck’s character Deacon Chalk has several solid links to the CU. 

Dana Fredsti's "Crash Course" features Ledger in the world of Fredsti’s Ashley Parker series, which takes place after a zombie apocalypse. Obviously, this would be an AU.

These crossovers are among the hundreds covered in my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, which will be published by Meteor House! All three volumes are AUTHORIZED companions to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!

Crossover Cover: Urban Allies

 

This anthology consists of collaborations between Urban Fantasy authors teaming their respective characters. Two of the stories have relevance to the Crossover Universe. 

In Weston Ochse and David Wellington's "The Lessons of Room 19," vampire hunter and ex-con Laura Caxton is blackmailed into helping Seal Team 666 member Jack Walker rid himself of his dependence on a “ghostskin” that bears the spirit of his dead girlfriend. Ochse’s Seal Team 666 series is in the CU through references in Jonathan Maberry’s Joe Ledger books, so this story brings in Laura Caxton, the protagonist of a series of novels by Wellington. 

In Larry Correia and Jonathan Maberry's "Weaponized Hell," the aforementioned Joe Ledger, of the Department of Military Sciences, and Agent Franks of the Monster Control Bureau battle terrorists who are summoning demons. Ledger and Agent Franks (from Correia’s Monster Hunter International series) are both in the CU.

These crossovers are only two of hundreds covered in my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, which will be published by Meteor House! All three volumes are AUTHORIZED companions to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!

Crossover Covers: Rot and Ruin

A novel series by Jonathan Maberry set in a world infested by zombies. The third and fourth books, Flesh and Bone and Fire and Ash, have appearances by this universe's version of Maberry’s series character Joe Ledger, who is in the CU through connections to Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" and Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series. The short story “Tooth and Nail” features both Ledger and Iron Mike Sweeney from Maberry’s Pine Deep Trilogy. Maberry’s Dead of Night books (Dead of Night and Fall of Night) show the origins of the zombie plague seen in Rot and Ruin.

Crossover Cover: Monster Hunter Alpha

Earl Harbinger, head of Monster Hunter International and a century-old werewolf, battles agents of the Old Ones and a new breed of lycanthrope in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Deep Ones are discussed, and it is mentioned every nation with a Navy has programs to eradicate them. These references further solidify the presence of Monster Hunter International in the CU.

Crossover Cover: Monster Hunter Nemesis

Agent Franks of the Monster Control Bureau, a Frankenstein monster built by the alchemist Johann Dippel, battles a cult trying to raise an Old One off the coast of California. Some of the cultists are Deep One hybrids. There is a reference to shoggoths. Special Task Force Unicorn has access to a werewolf disabling poison made from a rare plant that only blooms on out of the way mountains under a full moon. Johann Dippel is an historic figure who has been identified as an ancestor of the Frankenstein family in several sources. The Old Ones, the Deep Ones, and the Shoggoths are from the works of H. P. Lovecraft. The rare plant is the Mariphasa plant from the movie Werewolf of London.

Crossover Cover: Monster Hunter Vendetta

Monster Hunter International (M.H.I.) continues to battle against the Old Ones. Trip Jones buys a fantasy novel by L.H. Franzibald in a hotel gift shop. A shoggoth appears, and one of the books in M.H.I.’s library is a tome written by a Mad Arab, which contains information on Shoggoths. M.H.I. has worked with Britain’s Van Helsing Institute. Agent Franks is revealed to be a Frankenstein creation, though constructed by the historical alchemist Johann Conrad Dippel. The Yith are mentioned. The Old Ones, shoggoths, and the Yith are all from the works of H.P. Lovecraft, as is the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. His book is the Al Azif, better known as the Necronomicon. L.H. Franzibald is from Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik’s web comic Penny Arcade. The Van Helsing Institute must be named in honor of the monster hunting Van Helsing family, originally from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Johann Dippel is established as an ancestor of the more infamous Frankenstein clan in several sources.
