Jack Carr — The Terminal List

About The Terminal List:

In TERMINAL LIST, Lieutenant Commander James Reece is compiling the most dangerous list in America; on it are the names of individuals at the highest levels of government and the military, each of whom has played a part in a treacherous, vicious plot that left Reece’s entire team dead in a catastrophic ambush and resulted in the murder of his loved ones. With nothing left to lose, he’ll target them in an equally brutal fashion, without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.

About Jack Carr:

He led special operations teams as a Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander. Over his 20 years in Naval Special Warfare he transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper specializing in communications and intelligence, to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in the most Iranian influenced section of southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. Forces.

Matthew Betley – Field of Valor

About Field of Valor:

Set in the aftermath of Betley’s “machine-gun pace” (Booklist) Oath of Honor and the discovery of a deadly global conspiracy, the president requests Logan West to form a covert task force with the mission to dismantle a nameless enemy.

With the full resources of the Justice Department, Intelligence Community, and the military (not to mention presidential pardons pre-signed), Logan must battle a secret organization with the connections and funding to rival many first-world nations. The goal of this organization is both singular and sinister—to pit the United States against China in a bid to dismantle the world’s security and economy. Back on US soil, Logan and his task force pursue the elusive foe from the woods of northern Virginia to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, from suburban Maryland across the urban sprawl of Washington DC. The stakes have never been higher for Logan or America itself...

About Mathew Betley:

Matthew Betley is a former Marine officer and recovering alcoholic who now writes intense, high-action, political thrillers at Simon & Schuster for Emily Bestler Books, the same imprint that created the late, great Vince Flynn and the current reigning king, Brad Thor.  Matt's books follow the adventures  of a former Force Reconnaissance Marine who is a recovering and relapsing alcoholic who becomes part of an FBI special task force created to prevent an attack in the Middle East that will draw the US into a war with Iran. His first novel, OVERWATCH, March of 2016, was up for Thriller of the Year - not even DEBUT thriller of the year - but overall thriller of the year at the Barry Awards.  His second book, OATH OF HONOR, was one of the highest rated books of this year by the REAL BOOK SPY website 7, considered an expert on this genre, and is likely to be nominated for another Barry Award for 2017.  His third, FIELD OF VALOR, is slated for Memorial Day 2018.  He has a major Hollywood producer and a screen writer onboard, is represented by CAA in Hollywood, and is in final discussions with a major studio for the first book.  He is direct, confident, and even more charismatic since these first TV interviews were done more than a year and a half ago.  Most importantly, he spent ten years in the Marine Corps and uses his newfound notoriety to speak openly and publicly about his lifelong struggle with alcohol and the path that led to him sobriety through the military.  Considering the rampant opioid epidemic, there are several elements to Matt's story that will resonate with sincerity and authenticity with viewers.  As outstanding as his novels are, his story is equally impressive.

About SFK Press:

The path for an artist to reach a wider audience is no longer exclusively controlled by corporate gatekeepers measuring each choice purely by its economic return. This is the founding premise of SFK Press, an independent publisher based in Metro Atlanta.

In the Deep South, where the bespectacled Flannery O’Connor inhabits every literary tick, the contemporary narrative is dynamic. We’re marching far beyond the cynical stories of the 20th century. Authors have dumped the askew pastorals on their asses. We recognize that cultivating new voices requires broadening the definition of Southern writing. The hero isn’t always represented in a conventional fashion.
