RED SKY MOURNING is available now! 

In this last installment of BONUS episodes, I invite you to listen to Chapter 2 of RED SKY MOURNING read by Ray Porter.

Thank you to all the readers and listeners who have trusted me with their time and joined James Reece on these adventures. 

THE TERMINAL LIST was a story of revenge without constraint. TRUE BELIEVER was one of violent redemption. SAVAGE SON explored the dark side of man through the dynamic of hunter and hunted. THE DEVIL’S HAND looked at the U.S. through the eyes of the enemy, an enemy that had been watching, learning, adapting, and applying lessons from our past two decades of combat to their battle plans. IN THE BLOOD was a sniper-centric book of violent resolutions. ONLY THE DEAD was a novel of truth and consequences. RED SKY MOURNING focuses on the rapidly expanding role of technology in conflict, but at its base it is a story about loyalty.

Will this be the last book in the James Reece Terminal List series? Get your copy of RED SKY MOURNING today to find out.

In just a few short days the 7th novel in the James Reece Terminal List series is coming in hot! On this BONUS episode, I invite you to listen to Chapter 1 of Red Sky Mourning read by Ray Porter.

When it comes to writing a novel, my goal is to honor the story.  I never consider what is “popular” or if shorter or longer chapters are “in” or if I’m going to alienate anyone because of what I am writing – instead it is all about story.  By honoring the story I am respecting the reader or listener who is trusting me with time they will never get back.  It is my responsibility as an author to constantly hone my craft to deliver the best story I possibly can.  From the initial spark of an idea to the final manuscript, my heart and soul goes into every word.  Even as the deadline looms, I continue to scrutinize every chapter and scene, making refinements right up until the very last moment, to ensure nothing was left on the field.  If you already listened to Chapter 1 when I released it in December, you may notice some slight differences in this latest version.  I am constantly striving to enhance the narrative, deepen connections to characters, and sharpen the plot —even if only by a degree.  Enjoy the listen!

What began as a traditional prologue became the longest, most in-depth opening in the series to date. It is not only an introductory glimpse into the world, characters and events of Red Sky Mourning that sets the stage for the main narrative, but it is also Jack’s nod to Tom Clancy whose debut thriller, The Hunt for Red October, celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2024.  

Jack invites you to listen to the prologue of RED SKY MOURNING read by Ray Porter.
