Series background

The Stark brothers, Bobby and Brandon, live in the town of Raven Cliff Cove, which is located northeast of Seattle, Washington. Bobby is seventeen with brown hair and blue eyes. He stands six foot with an athletic build and plays a variety of sports at Raven Cliff Cove High School, which he is a senior. Brandon has blonde hair and blue eyes. He also stands six foot with an athletic build and is very active in sports at RCC High School, where he is a junior.

The boys live at the SFALLS ranch with their parents, Russ and Jami Stark. Russ is the founder and CEO of StarkTec Industries. StarkTec is a company the delves into latest technology and has several projects with United States government, most of which are Top Secret. StarkTec also deals with private industries developing new technology. Russ also has his own private helicopter, a Hughes 500D, and sometimes assists his sons in their cases. Jami Stark is a partner in a very prestigious law firm located in downtown Seattle, Washington. The last member of the Stark family is the boys' sister, Bre. She lives in a condo in Seattle with her roommate, Tabitha. Both girls are involved in acting and theater, and are always finding work in a very competitive profession.

The Stark brothers have a variety of friends, but one of their closest is Kevin Treyzen, and RCC police officer, Joe Franklin, who get involved in the boys' adventures.

Driving their customized 1993 Ford Bronco with 33" tires, Bobby and Brandon delve into the unknown. Underlining the majority of the series is one large conspiracy about a secret organization known only to the Starks as, The Project. Not all the books in the series directly involve the larger conspiracy, but all of them are independent mysteries. The series involves traditional cases and also delves into the supernatural.

Who dares take on the unknown? is the slogan of The Stark Files
