I’ve had a busy few months recently – I spent a fair bit of July in New York City for the big ThrillerFest XIV convention, where I got to rub shoulders with great thriller writers like John Sandford, Harlan Coben, Peter James, Brad Taylor, C.J. Carver, Mark Greaney and many more! I also took a moment to visit the amazing SpyScape museum – where I signed a few copies of the American Forge editions of my Marc Dane novels – and I recommend it to any thriller fans visiting the Big Apple.
Speaking of conventions, I’m also appearing and signing books at London’s Capital Crime at the end of September – I’ll be on a panel with Adam Hamdy, K.J. Howe and Chris Ryan, and you can learn more about that event right here. Tickets are selling out fast for what looks certain to be a blockbuster event, and I hope to see some of you there!
But of course, the thing that’s been taking up most of my time is my current writing project – the 5th Marc Dane novel! And so without further ado, I’d like to reveal the title and a brief synopsis…
Six months have passed since the events of SHADOW, when resourceful ex-MI6 field technician turned reluctant intelligence agent Marc Dane and his partner – former US Delta Force sniper Lucy Keyes – foiled the plans of right-wing terrorists to release a lethal bioweapon in Europe.
But in the aftermath, a dangerous group of global power brokers known as the Combine – a cabal of amoral billionaires who bank-roll extremist groups and manipulate the war on terror for their own ends – have turned their full attention to destroying Marc and his team. Dane and Keyes have thwarted their schemes for the last time, as the Combine launch an insidious plan to wipe them out once and for all.
After British agents are savagely murdered in Norway, in a brutal echo of Marc’s past, his MI6 mentor reveals a terrible truth as a face from the dead threatens to tear Dane’s world apart. As the Combine move to obliterate everything Marc and Lucy hold dear and turn the world against them, they are forced to become fugitives – hunted across the Mediterranean from the glitz and glamour of Monaco to the dust and fire of East Africa.
There, in a lawless warzone where long-buried secrets come to light and loyalties are tested to the limit, old enemies return and new foes strike in a deadly showdown that not everyone will survive…
Coming in Summer 2020, the new novel in the bestselling Marc Dane action thriller series…
I’ll be updating with more information in the months ahead about the paperback release of SHADOW and more details about ROGUE…
…Bur if you can’t wait to pre-order ROGUE, you can find it online at Amazon right here.
