tom clancy line of demarcation & red tide
Friends,
I’m delighted to share that my latest book, TOM CLANCY LINE OF DEMARCATION, launches today, May 20! This was a special book for me, highlighting brave sailors of the U.S. Coast Guard, roughneck expats on oil rigs, and, of course, the next-generation heroes of the “Clancyverse,” led by Jack Ryan Jr. and retired SEAL Master Chief Kendrick Moore.
If you liked Paramount TV’s “LANDMAN,” you’ll love LINE OF DEMARCATION, where international petro-politics spark a conflict south of the border, close to home. Russian Wagner group mercenaries pounce on a U.S. ally, intent on stealing an oilfield off the coast of Guyana. We’ve seen Putin do this before with his “little green men” in Crimea. This time, the Russian navy is packing hypersonic missiles off Cuba, daring an American military response over a country few people have even heard of. Putin seems to have all the cards—except that Jack Jr. happened to be in Guyana, closing a private equity deal with the government.
Will Jack be able to summon help from John Clark’s covert warriors in time to prevent a coup d’etat from becoming a fait accompli? Get LOD now, available everywhere in all formats. Here’s a link from my amazing former employer, Amazon.
I’m also pleased to receive an early review of my upcoming book, RED TIDE – A NOVEL OF THE NEXT PACIFIC WAR. This is the big one, folks. China, fed up with U.S. trade sanctions, flexes its beefed-up naval fleet to blockade Taiwan and seize the globe’s semiconductor supply. With the world on edge, all it takes is a deadly spark to turn a tense standoff into a devastating war. So what will happen when the USS Missouri, an American Virginia-class submarine, is forced to surface inside the blockade and defend herself?
Check out the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and NYT bestselling author Admiral James Stavrides’ take on this true-to-life war scenario: “Authentic and electrifying, RED TIDE’s shocking sea actions and high-stakes geopolitical dramas rhyme with history and ring with truth. This is one sea story you don’t want to miss!”
RED TIDE, A NOVEL OF THE NEXT PACIFIC WAR launches on September 16. Preorder here.
Finally, if you happen to be in the Seattle area this month, please join me at Redmond’s Brick and Mortar Books on May 27 to discuss the issues that drove these novels, and maybe even to lift a pint afterward at the pub upstairs. Hope to see you there!
That’s all for now, friends. Enjoy LINE OF DEMARCATION and pre-order RED TIDE—but most of all, please stay in touch at mpwoodward.com and on all the usual social media platforms.
With gratitude,
M.P. Woodward
