About the book:  The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn. The War Has Begun.   

The riveting new James Hicks thriller by award-winning author Terrence McCauley

James Hicks has spent his entire life and career fighting on the front lines of terrorism for the clandestine intelligence organization known as The University. Hicks has learned that enemies can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, and allegiances shift like the wind. But now, Hicks has finally discovered his true enemy: the criminal organization known as The Vanguard. 

This shadowy group has operated as a deadly organization comprised weapons dealers, drug runners, and money launderers for decades, but has now decided to add regime change to their catastrophic agenda. But knowing the enemy is one thing. Being able to defeat it is another matter entirely. When Hicks uncovers a solid lead on his new adversaries, his world explodes. His home base is attacked, his operatives in the field are wiped out, and, for the first time, The University finds itself in open combat against an unknown enemy. In a battle that rages from the streets of Manhattan to the halls of power in Washington, D.C., to the dark alleys of Berlin, Hicks will have to use every resource at his disposal to defeat A Conspiracy of Ravens.

 

This is the best of the series, IMHO and I can't wait to chat with Terrence about this book.

Authors on the Air Host Pam Stack welcomes author LESLIE KARST to the studio.  

The daughter of a law professor and a potter, Leslie Karst spent her early years in various locales: Columbus, Ohio; South America and Mexico; Oxford, England; and Santa Monica, California. She moved from Southern California to Santa Cruz to study English literature and Romance languages at UCSC, and has been a Northern California gal ever since. 

Leslie went on to attend Stanford Law School and then worked for twenty years as the research and appellate attorney for a civil law firm in Santa Cruz County. During this period, she discovered a passion for food and cooking, and so once more returned to school—this time to earn a degree in culinary arts from Cabrillo College. 

Now retired from the law, she spends her time cooking, singing alto in her local community chorus, gardening, cycling, and of course writing. Leslie and her wife, Robin, and their Jack Russell mix, Ziggy, split their time between Santa Cruz and Hilo, Hawai‘i.

Praise for "The Coldness of Night: A Jack Paris Thriller:"

“Fong knows his stuff and delivers it.” – Don Winslow

“Authentic and suspenseful – a great thriller.” – Lee Child

"My journey started in 1983. After working full time during the day and going to school full time at night, I graduated from college with a degree in Accounting. That year, I got married and less than a month later, I was sworn in as a special agent with the FBI. After 4 months at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, I was assigned to the Seattle field office. I chased bank robbers, surveilled kidnapping and murder suspects, and participated in the week-long standoff with a neo-Nazi group known as The Order at Whidbey Island. But it was a case involving the kidnapping of a ten-year-old girl in Bellingham, Washington that stuck with me. The result was my first novel "Fragmented," loosely based on that experience as a rookie agent."

Host Terri Lynn Coop is pleased to serve up NYT bestseller Hugh Howey on The Blue Plate Special.

"Wayfinding is the ancient art of navigating by paying attention to the natural signs all around us. Ancient wayfinders used the stars, the wind, the currents, the migration of birds, and much more in order to settle the islands of the Pacific. I believe there are many lessons to be learned from these ancient navigators. For me, wayfinding has become a method of self-improvement by tuning into the many hidden signs of our behavior, and using these signs to navigate to the better self that we aspire to be." -- Hugh Howey

Hugh Howey is the author of the award-winning Molly Fyde saga and the New York Times and USA Today bestselling WOOL series. The WOOL OMNIBUS won Kindle Book Review's 2012 Indie Book of the Year Award — it has been as high as #1 on Amazon — and 40 countries have picked up the work for translation.
