Ward Recommends: ACT OF DEFIANCE

Forty years ago (wow) Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October created an entirely new genre of fiction: the military thriller. Last spring, that book was honored by the publication of a brilliant contemporary counterpart, Act of Defiance. Jeff Wilson and Brian Andrews, both Navy veterans, did an outstanding job of keeping true to the Clancy spirit. The technical detail, the shipboard banter, and characters who are nothing short of iconic, headlined by Jack Ryan—now President of the United States. Don’t miss it!
