Today the first of my ongoing series of action thrillers is officially released in North America, in it’s US hardcover edition from Tor/Forge! I’m excited to introduce ex-MI6 officer turned freelancer Marc Dane to a whole new audience with the launch of Nomad…
HIS ONLY NATION IS JUSTICE
New York Times bestselling author James Swallow begins his espionage thriller series with Nomad, featuring a British desk jockey intelligence operative turned active agent.
Marc Dane is a MI6 field agent at home behind a computer screen, one step away from the action. But when a brutal attack on his team leaves Dane the only survivor—and with the shocking knowledge that there are traitors inside MI6—he’s forced into the front line.
Matters spiral out of control when the evidence points toward Dane as the perpetrator of the attack. Accused of betraying his country, he must race against time to clear his name. With nowhere to turn to for help and no one left to trust, Marc is forced to rely on the elusive Rubicon group and their operative Lucy Keyes. Ex US Army, Lucy also knows what it’s like to be an outsider, and she’s got the skills that Dane needs.
A terrorist attack is coming, one bigger and more deadly than has ever been seen before. With the eyes of the security establishment elsewhere, only Keyes and Dane can stop the attack before it’s too late.
North America is a fierce, dedicated market for thriller fiction and the home of some of my favorite authors in the genre! It’s my great hope that Marc Dane can stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Jason Bourne, Mitch Rapp, Thea Paris, Evan Smoak and all the other great US thriller heroes!

Praise for Nomad:
“In Marc Dane, James Swallow has created a wonderfully unlikely hero who can outfox the best of the best. A pulse-pounding thriller of the highest order.”— Ward Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of Cutting Edge
“Ian Fleming meets John LeCarre in James Swallow’s Nomad: vivid and gritty with nonstop action, in which nothing is as it seems.” —David Hagberg
“Unputdownable. A must-read.” —Wilbur Smith
“Very enjoyable.” —The Guardian
“Exciting.” —The Sun
“Right on the money, bang up to date, Nomad is a scorching romp. A killer of a thriller.”— Jon Wise, Weekend Sport
“A debut spy thriller from a veteran author who delivers his (…) enjoyable narrative at a frenzied pace, with plenty of narrow escapes for reluctant hero Dane.” —Jon Coates, Daily Express
“Ferociously paced thriller, a high-concept tale of the solitary hero on the run, bristling with technology and frequently erupting into lethal violence.” —Declan Burke, The Irish Times
“Followers of Jason Bourne or those who are familiar with I Am Pilgrim and / or Homeland will agree that this book is a rattling good yarn. Well written with plenty of cliffhangers and thoroughly enjoyable.” —Woman’s Way
“This is edge of the seat stuff that is terrifyingly real in places and pushes the boundaries of reality in others, not unlike most high-action thrillers. If you’re a fan of the novels of Lee Child, Frederik Forsyth and Chris Ryan or you can’t wait for the new Bond film and love the TV series 24, then this is for you.” —Closer Magazine
Nomad is out now in hardcover, eBook, digital audio and CD audio editions on-line and in all good bookstores; full details are Here, or you can order a copy direct from Amazon.com via this link.
