September brings some hot titles you are not going to want to miss, including a double release from M.P. Woodward. We are in for a treat!
Woodward is back at it again, laying down a solid third entry in the Jack Ryan Jr. series, with Terminal Velocity. An awesome book that sees a link back to Dead or Alive. But the absolute standout of his two September books is Red Tide. I can’t hype this one enough. This is Woodward’s finest work to date and a wonderful modern Pacific echo to Tom Clancy‘s Red Storm Rising.
Don Bentley is dropping his second entry in the Mitch Rapp series with Denied Access, completing the trilogy that Vince Flynn started with American Assassin. The Rapp Ambassadors have been thrilled about this one, pretty much non-stop on X. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy.

Jack Ryan Jr battles terrorists in the mountains of Tajikistan to save a comrade in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
A series of savage murders in the United States seem unrelated until the FBI makes a shocking discovery–a decade ago all of the murder victims were involved in a raid that killed an al Quaeda leader.
Mary Pat Foley, Director of National Intelligence, turns to the Campus for simultaneous help with two problems. One part of the group must find the mole in the US government who is feeding intel to the current terrorists leaders. Meanwhile, Campus agent Midas will lead a small team into Tajikistan to find and neutralize those terrorists.
Jack Ryan Jr’s job is to supply Midas and his team with intel from outside the terrorist’s region of Central Asia, but when the team is captured only Jack is in position to save them. Even if it is one man against an army of terrorists.

Don Bentley completes the trilogy begun with American Assassin by taking Mitch Rapp back to his fledgling assassin days, picking up where Kill Shot ended, on a mission to save the woman he loves amid a CIA showdown with the Russian intelligence services in a new thriller from the author of Vince Flynn’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.
The Central Intelligence Agency is in crisis.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Congress is questioning the organization’s necessity. Interim CIA director Thomas Stansfield must fight for his agency’s survival while explaining why the previous candidate for his job was found murdered in a French hotel—surrounded by booze, cash, and dead men. Worst yet, a brilliantly run sting operation in Moscow has resulted in the arrest of America’s most prized Russian asset and the expulsion of his CIA handler.
With the CIA’s Moscow Station now paralyzed by the catastrophic intelligence failure, Stansfield seeks help from Mitch Rapp, a newly minted assassin in the secretive Orion program. But Rapp has problems of his own: when his Swiss girlfriend Greta’s grandfather receives a box containing the head of a former Cold War comrade along with a note promising that Greta’s head will be next, Rapp finds himself on the frontlines in a war between the American and Russian intelligence services. To protect the woman he loves and save the CIA from destruction, Rapp must be willing to risk everything.

America’s Navy is stretched to the breaking point. China’s combat fleet grows. And both countries compete for access to advanced semiconductor chips produced only in Taiwan. Can Will Cole succeed in the impossible in time?
Rear Adm. Will Cole, outgoing operations officer (N3) of the Pacific Fleet, knows this is a recipe for disaster. But after decades at sea, he is ready to pass the torch to the next generation of “fighting Coles”: his eldest, Henry, a Navy lieutenant who flies F-18s; his middle son Jaime, a merchant marine officer; and his daughter Lu back home. When the new Cold War turns hot, however, Cole must abandon his plans. Proven right when the missiles start flying, Cole’s reward is an order to do the impossible: destroy the Chinese fleet and retake Taiwan—before it’s too late.
