Latest News & Ward's Thoughts
Last week, Brad Thor appeared on the TODAY show, where he discussed our upcoming novel, Cold Zero.
Plus, he revealed Netflix will be making the book into a movie. True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto is set to adapt the screenplay, with Peter Berg (Lone Survivor, Patriots Day) producing for Film 44 alongside Ezra Emanuel.
Stay tuned for more movie news.
Rules of Engagement is coming right on the heels of Cold Zero. This is my first book in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe and I think fans are definitely going to enjoy a storyline that focuses on John Clark and Jack Ryan.
When a member of his Cabinet is killed in a plane President Jack Ryan suspects that the "accident" is anything but in this latest shocking entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.
The White House is stunned when the Secretary of Commerce is killed in a plane crash in Turkey. President Jack Ryan isn't ready to write this off as a simple accident. Not only has he lost a good friend, but the Secretary was on an important mission: on the surface he was making an appearance at an economic conference, but the CIA was also using the flight as cover to extract an important asset from the Middle East.
Soon, Lt. Commander Katie Ryan and her team are working with the investigators to find the cause of the tragedy, but one shocking revelation changes everything. There were supposed to be 16 people on the plane, but there are only 15 bodies.
The quest for answers will lead the team deeper and deeper into a quagmire of lies and deception that will force President Ryan to face an unprincipled enemy with global ambitions.

In the wilds of Siberia, a top-secret Russian fighter goes missing on a test flight. The Russian Air Force begins a search, oblivious to their error: they are looking in the wrong spot. The pilot, Colonel Maxim Primakov, has crash landed during an attempted defection.
The new chief of CIA clandestine operations, David Slaton, wants desperately to find him, but only one man is in a position to reach Primakov―Tru Miller, a rookie operator. Slaton plots a rescue deep inside Russia, not realizing that he will have to outfox the one other man who knows the truth. Victor Dubonin is a general in Russian intelligence. His search for Primakov is deeply personal―and if he doesn’t succeed it will cost him his life.
Soon a small group of Americans, including its top female test pilot, Kai Drake, find themselves hunted in the wilds of Russia. Their survival will depend on one thing―just how resourceful and lethal they can be.
