TCR Episode #125 | Webb and Mann - COLD FEAR
Monday Jul 25, 2022
Monday Jul 25, 2022
In this episode, the Crew is joined by the outstanding writing team featuring former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and award-winning author John David Mann to discuss their blistering new thriller COLD FEAR. “One of the best crime novels of the year . . . a brilliant blend of procedural mystery and geopolitical thriller.”—Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of Hunting Time Disgraced Navy SEAL Finn is on the run. A wanted man since he jumped ship from the USS Abraham Lincoln, he’s sought for questioning in connection to war crimes committed in Yemen by a rogue element in his SEAL team. But his memory of that night—as well as the true fate of his mentor and only friend, Lieutenant Kennedy—is a gaping hole. Finn learns that three members of his team have been quietly redeployed to Iceland, which is a puzzle in itself; the tiny island nation is famous for being one of the most peaceful, crime-free places on the planet. His mission is simple: track down the three corrupt SEALs and find out what really happened that night in Yemen. But two problems stand in his way. On his first night in town, a young woman mysteriously drowns—and a local detective suspects Finn’s involvement. Worse, a SEAL-turned-contract-killer with skills equal to Finn’s own has been hired to ensure he never gets the answers he’s looking for. And he’s followed Finn all the way to the icy north.
Brandon Webb is the New York Times bestselling author of The Red Circle and Benghazi: The Definitive Report. A former U.S. Navy SEAL whose last assignment was Course Manager for the elite SEAL Sniper Course, he was instrumental in developing new curricula that trained some of the most accomplished snipers of the twenty-first century. He has received numerous distinguished service awards, including the Presidential Unit Citation and the Navy Commendation Medal with a “V” for “Valor,” for his platoon’s deployment to Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks. John David Mann is co-author of over thirty books, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers. His writing has won multiple awards, including the Living Now Book Awards Evergreen Medal for its “contributions to positive global change.”

TCR Episode #123 | Mark Greaney - ARMORED
Monday Jul 04, 2022
Monday Jul 04, 2022
#1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Greaney returns to The Crew Reviews to discuss his latest standalone thriller, ARMORED—a novel inspired by his Audible Original drama of the same title.
Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent—a professional bodyguard—and he’s one of the world’s elite operatives. That is, he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg.
There’s not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in New Jersey. For a man like Josh, this is purgatory on earth, but miracles can occur even in Paramus.
A lucky run-in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it’s known as Espinazo del Diablo—the Devil’s Spine. Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.
Praise for ARMORED:
“Great fun for the reader….there’s never a dull page.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[An] enjoyable thriller from bestseller Mark Greaney….Explosive action sequences follow as Duffy and company seek to retreat to flat land and safety, and Duffy proves to be more than just a hardened military tactician. Readers will hope he’ll be back for an encore.” —Publishers Weekly

TCR Episode #122 | Brad Thor - RISING TIGER
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Monday Jun 27, 2022
#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor returns to The Crew Reviews to discuss his latest Scot Harvath thriller, RISING TIGER. This is Brad's third appearance on the show.
"With RISING TIGER, Brad Thor continues to astonish, doing the seemingly impossible and raising his game to yet another level. A masterful plot told at a breakneck pace that somehow manages to till fresh ground in a genre where it seemed every doomsday scenario has been explored, reveals a writer at the height of his powers. Pitting Scot Harvath against multiple dangerous enemies against the backdrop of superpowers on a collision course may sound familiar, but Mr. Thor weaves originality in at every turn, in every character, in every locale, creating a thriller as fresh and immediate as any in recent memory. Thor’s writing is like Harvath himself: inventive, efficient and lethal." - Sean Cameron
