Big thanks to @MPWauthor for doing a Q&A on his forthcoming book TOM CLANCY THE COLDEST WAR. Out November 24th, we get to see Woodward move up the chain of command and triumph as master strategist. A Ryanverse must read! https://t.co/oOYdaKxWLq #TheCampusFiles#Ryanverse
Picked up an interesting book this week by L. David Marquet, TURN THE SHIP AROUND. Only just getting into it, but insightful take on leadership. And particularly relevant since @MPWauthor made me a submarine officer in TOM CLANCY THE COLDEST WAR.
More James Reece. Zero buffering.
With @JackCarrUSA’s SAVAGE SON headed to the screen next, a reminder that THE TERMINAL LIST, TRUE BELIEVER, and SAVAGE SON are already available in a very convenient format.
There are words. You read them. The action plays out in your head. 😂
Join me at @SCHEELS in Sandy, Utah on November 20 for a FOURTH OPTION book signing and the unveiling of my custom @staccato2011 P4X Jack Carr Edition!
A limited number of P4X Jack Carr Edition pistols will be available in-store ahead of the official launch.

Sophisticated Meatheads everywhere are reporting for duty, sending me photos of their Bear Brawl arrivals on Launch Day and we can’t get enough…
We even got one on top of a sauna!
Grab your book. Take a pic. Send it to me.
Let’s brawl….
I can't wait for Dark Union to come out February 16th! In the meantime, you can revisit or catch up on the rest of my Gray Man series (or gift it to a friend)!
Anton Myrer was born on this day in 1922. A United States Marine Corps veteran of World War II, he is the author of ONCE AN EAGLE, a book I gave to leaders in the SEAL Teams as they began their service in the profession of arms. You may also have noticed James Reece gift a copy to Ben Edwards in DARK WOLF.
Of the many valuable lessons from the pages of this poignant and timeless novel, this line rings particularly true: “You can’t help what you were born and you may not have much to say about where you die, but you can and you should try to pass the days in between as a good man.”
I failed 21 SAS selection.
One hundred and twenty men started. Four finished. I was not one of them.
I do not tell that story to be humble. I tell it because of what happened next, which nobody ever asks about.
I went home. I was 19 years old and I had failed at the one thing I had told everyone I was going to do. There is a particular silence that follows that. Friends are kind. Family are careful. And you sit in your childhood bedroom and understand that the failure is now a fact about you.
Six months later I went back and did the whole thing again.
Passed the second time.
Here is what I actually learned, and it is not what people expect. It was not about grit. It was not about wanting it more. It was that the first attempt was not wasted, it was the reconnaissance. I knew where the ground broke you. I knew what the third day felt like. I was not braver the second time, I was better informed.
Most people treat a failure as a verdict.
It is data.
The only real failure is the one you refuse to go back and look at.
