@AlxDekker @AtriaMysteryBus I'm apparently a sucker for the OG movie or book of a series

Oh yes!

Are you one of the world’s biggest Mitch Rapp fans?

Do you tell everyone you know (friends, family, strangers) that if they only had one book to read, it should be a Mitch Rapp novel?

Can you handle being one of the first readers to set eyes on DOUBLE TAP (Mitch Rapp #25)?
(learn more about the book: https://t.co/BLVLgJeSaD)

If so, you might have what it takes to be a Mitch Rapp Ambassador.

We will launch the program later this month.

You will be able to make your case to become an Ambassador via essay, pics or video. Make sure you are prepared.

If selected as a Mitch Rapp Ambassador, you will receive a galley (pre-publication edition) of DOUBLE TAP, and have a chance to win other great prizes.

***Even if you have been selected as an Ambassador for previous novels, you must submit an application for DOUBLE TAP.***

This is fantastic news, @RyanSteckAuthor! For you, and for us fans.

[Ryan Steck @RyanSteckAuthor]

Well, this happened!

I’m thrilled to share that I just signed on to voice the great Alexander Hawke for years to come.

Some quick thoughts…

The late Ted Bell, a dear friend of mine, created one of the great modern heroes in Alex Hawke—a character defined by courage, loyalty, wit, and an unshakable moral compass. Ted wasn’t just a major New York Times bestselling author; he was a force of nature, a gentleman, and a storyteller who set the bar for globe-trotting, high-stakes adventure. To be entrusted with his creation, to pick up the pen and carry his legacy forward, is something I do not take lightly.

To that end, I’m incredibly thankful to Byrdie Bell, not only for her friendship, but for her trust and support. Together, we have a lot planned for Hawke—some of which we’ll be sharing in early 2026.

I’m also extremely thankful to everyone at Blackstone, who, by the way, is planing a fabulous announcement for next month. And, of course, I’m so thankful to Ted’s readers, who’ve embraced me and continue to follow Hawke, Stoke, Congreve, and the rest of the gang.

So, more details to come. Soon!

First up, though, is TED BELL’s WARMONGER, which comes out on March 31, 2026, and is currently available for pre-order everywhere books are sold.

Here’s to Ted’s legacy, to adventure, and to the return of a British super-spy who still has plenty of unfinished business.
