BREAKNECK: Marc Cameron’s Next Arliss Cutter Novel Due out in April 2023

The Real Book Spy — Sat, 10 Sep 2022 23:28:48 +0000

Fans of Marc Cameron’s bestselling Arliss Cutter series have reason to be excited heading into 2023, as Breakneck, his highly anticipated new novel, is set to come out in April.

Cutter, who first appeared in Cameron’s 2019 thriller, Open Carry, returns to star in his fifth adventure to date, following this year’s Cold Snap, which followed the Deputy US Marshal as he attempted to deliver a number of dangerous prisoners before their plane crash landed in the Alaskan wilderness—kicking off a riveting chain of events.

This time around, Arliss will once again find himself out in the wild, this time, with a woman he must protect at all costs.

“Alaska is a central character in Breakneck—Bering Sea crabbing grounds, the mighty Yukon River, frozen tundra, the frontier city of Fairbanks, and wild glacial valleys reachable only by the Alaska Railroad,” Cameron told The Real Book Spy in an exclusive statement. “It’s a beautiful but deadly land that can astound and kill you in the same breath. We’ll see more of Arliss’s widowed sister-in-law, Mim, as she journeys 700 miles from Anchorage to Utqiagvik, the northernmost city in the U.S., unearthing dangerous clues regarding her husband’s death. Arliss Cutter and his unflappable partner, Lola Teariki, find themselves on a train, in a remote section of the Alaska wilderness protecting a United States Supreme Court justice whom someone wants dead.

“Breakneck was an incredibly fun book to write, and even more fun to research—working with my friends at Anchorage PD, the Alaska State Troopers, the United States Marshals Service—and venturing deep into the Alaska bush by plane, boat, ATV, and whistle-stop train . . .”

Check out the official plot detail below.

In the adrenaline-fueled new adventure from Marc Cameron, USA Today bestselling author of the Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan series, a thrill ride into the icy Alaskan wilderness turns into a harrowing fight for survival, sending Deputy US Marshall Arliss Cutter on a harrowing mission to save and a mother and daughter marked for death…

“Cameron’s books are riveting page-turners.”
—Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Off the northeast coast of Russia, the captain and crew of a small crabbing vessel are brutally murdered by members of the Russian Mafia. After the Bratva thugs stuff the dead bodies into crab pots and throw them overboard, they scuttle the vessel off the coast of Alaska and slip ashore.

In Washington DC, Supreme Court Justice Charlotte Morehouse prepares for a trip to Alaska, unaware that a killer is waiting to take his revenge—by livestreaming her death to the world.

In Anchorage, Alaska, Deputy US Marshals Arliss Cutter and Lola Teariki are assigned to security detail at a judicial conference in Fairbanks. Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend’s teenaged daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance. It’s a simple, routine assignment—until the mother and daughter decide to explore the Alaskan wilderness on the famous Glacier Discovery train. Hiding among the tourists, eccentric locals, and other passengers are the Chechen terrorists, who launch a surprise attack when the train reaches a remote area. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train—and into the unforgiving wilderness.

The chase is on. With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain and commandeer a raft through an icy river canyon to stay alive. Two of the terrorists are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge’s daughter—and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are only two options left: catch the train and kill them all . . . or all will be killed.

Ward Larsen’s Fifth David Slaton Novel, ‘Assassin’s Run,’ To Hit Bookstores Next August

The Real Book Spy — Thu, 05 Oct 2017 00:25:13 +0000

Here’s the good news — Ward Larsen’s fifth David Slaton novel, Assassin’s Run, sounds really awesome! The bad news, though, is that it doesn’t actually come out until August 21st, 2018.

Slaton, an Israeli assassin who has long wanted to leave the spy life behind him but keeps getting sucked back into the game, is one of the genre’s most underrated characters. Comparable to bigger names like Jason Bourne and Court ‘The Gray Man’ Gentry, Slaton is well-developed and a ton of fun to follow in Larsen’s action-packed series. If you haven’t checked out his stuff and are currently looking for a thrilling series to tide you over until the Mitch Rapps and Scot

If you haven’t checked out his stuff and are currently looking for a thrilling series to tide you over until the Mitch Rapps and Scot Harvaths of the world return next year, Larsen’s series is a strong choice to try out. Start with The Perfect Assassin, the first book in his series.

See the explosive plot details for Assassin’s Run below!

Ward Larsen’s Assassin’s Run revives globe-trotting, hard-hitting assassin David Slaton for another breathless adventure.

When a Russian oligarch is killed by a single bullet on his yacht off the Isle of
Capri, Russian intelligence sources speculate that a legendary Israeli assassin,
long thought dead, might be responsible. However, David Slaton—the assassin
in question—is innocent. Realizing the only way to clear his name is to find out
who’s truly responsible, he travels to Capri.

While he searches, a web of disparate events unfolds across the world. Three
ships, owned by the group of Russians, deliver a mysterious cargo to the shores
of the Arabian Peninsula. In Morocco, a Russian aerospace company begins
flight testing an innovative new drone.

From Switzerland to the Red Sea to Morocco, Slaton uncovers a conspiracy of
monumental scope. It is a plot that will change the world strategic order—and
one that goes straight to the top of the Russian government.

Assassin’s Run follows this year’s Assassin’s Code — which is one of Larsen’s strongest novels to date — and comes out everywhere next August.
