    Special Forces Veteran Tu Lam Releases The Way Of The Ronin Defyng The Odds On Battlefields
    Jun 23 2024
    From Special Forces veteran and internationally respected teacher of Ronin Tactics to streaming and videogame fan favorite, Tu Lam's memoir will captivate, astonish, exhilarate, and even profoundly resonate. Tu Lam has become known not just for his accomplishments as a decorated Green Beret, but also for his work outside the military, including: * Training citizens and law enforcement professionals all over the country . Providing aid to both active and retired soldiers with physical and mental health issues . * Co-hosting the History Channel's Forged in Fire: Knife or Death . * Appearing in and contributing to the world's bestselling video game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare In The Way of Rōnin, he reveals his against-all-odds story. Tu Lam's resilience, dedication, and relentless pursuit of freedom saw him achieving Full Spectrum US Special Operations across twenty-seven countries worldwide for more than twenty years, only to pay the price of his own physical and mental trauma as well as addiction. That decision led him to more than two decades of grueling instruction in every facet of the special forces, then deployment to war and conflict zones-all while channeling his inner anger in secret underground no-holds barred fighting matches. When he finally retired from the military after more than two decades, his demons caught up with him, leading to years of addiction. But even that didn't defeat him. Confronting his demons, he emerged triumphant. Now he shares the gripping details and riveting intricacies of this awe-inspiring journey. Tu Lam's life is, at times, all too real, and at many others times, almost unbelievable.

    The Creator Of The Red Line Walt Gragg Returns With Another Thriller The Long November
    Jun 21 2024
    What started as a military coup in Pakistan has ignited South Asia and threatens to spread to the world's largest democracy in India. American and British allies struggle to rescue Western civilians who have been cut off in Islamabad. What starts as a desperate race turns into a grim siege. But the fate of a few innocents pales in comparison to one inescapable fact: Pakistan is a nuclear power and some of those weapons are unaccounted for. Gripping and thought-provoking, THE LONG NOVEMBER is perfect for fans of Brad Thor and Larry Bond. I’d love to know if you might be interested in covering the book or Walt.

  • Investigative Reporter Craig Whitlock From The Washington Post Releases The Shocking Fat Leonard

    Investigative Reporter Craig Whitlock From The Washington Post Releases The Shocking Fat Leonard
    Jun 19 2024
    FAT LEONARD: #1 New York Times bestselling author Craig Whitlock's masterful account of one of the biggest public corruption scandals in American history-exposing how a charismatic Malaysian defense contractor bribed scores of high-ranking military officers, defrauded the US Navy of tens of millions of dollars, and jeopardized our nation's security. All the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn Francis-either personally or by his legendary reputation. He was the larger-than-life defense contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them a good time after weeks at sea while his company resupplied their ships and submarines. He was famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous parties he hosted for officers: $1,000-per-person dinners at Asia's swankiest restaurants, featuring unlimited Dom Pérignon, Cuban cigars, and sexy young women. On the surface, with his flawless American accent, he seemed like a true friend of the Navy. What the brass didn't realize, until far too late, was that Francis had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts, lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was making himself obscenely wealthy by bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was stealing military secrets from under the admirals' noses and compromising national security. Based on reams of confidential documents-including the blackmail files that Francis kept on Navy officers-FAT LEONARD is the full, unvarnished story of a world-class con man and a captivating testament to the corrosive influence of greed within the ranks of the American military. "Explosive, brilliantly reported and meticulously documented, Craig Whitlock's Fat Leonard reads like a thriller but depicts one of the most sordid chapters in U.S. military history, a tale of brazen corruption that soiled the Navy and is an infuriating insult to the American taxpayer. You won't be able to put this book down, and you won't stop wondering how it could have happened."-David E. Hoffman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Billion Dollar Spy

    US Army Ranger Green Beret Joe Kent And And US Army Journalist Marty Skovlund Release Send Me
    May 17 2024
    The extraordinary story of American special operator and trailblazer Shannon Kent, who hunted high value targets on classified missions in the most dangerous locales on earth while trying to balance her life as a wife and mother. Of the 1.3 million active-duty service members in the US military, only a tiny fraction are selected as "operators." Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this level and was widely recognized as one of the best. Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can't even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world. Send Me is Shannon's heroic life story, revealing the truth of both her work and the challenges she faced while trying to raise a family with her husband Joe, himself a Special Forces soldier. He and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during a special operations training course, their dedication spanning multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys. It is the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of the military, working with the most elite forces in the world, lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share their duty, sacrifice, and humanity. Drawing on their own extensive experience in special operations, Joe Kent and Marty Skovlund Jr. bring Shannon's heroic story to life, while providing a rare peek into the secretive world of special ops intelligence and a glimpse into the complexities of domestic life for a Special Forces family.

  • Retired U.S. Navy Seal Mark Greene Releases The Book UnSealed And Preps For The TV Show

    Retired U.S. Navy Seal Mark Greene Releases The Book UnSealed And Preps For The TV Show
    May 10 2024
    Mark Greene, Retired Navy SEAL, faced an accident that stripped away his protective armor, leaving him unsealed and vulnerable. His journey from college athlete to dropout, SEAL training to enlisted SEAL, and sniper to civilian was met with many adversities. However, amidst the challenges, Mark found strength in his community; he never faced his struggles alone. Navigating his difficult transitions and aiding fellow veterans, Mark identified six predictable phases in any transformation. Embracing these phases serves as a reminder to welcome change and life's transitions with confidence and tenacity.

    Despite facing a career-ending injury in football and dropping out of college, Mark Greene's resilience led him to become a Navy SEAL. Along his journey, he earned two master's degrees. As an esteemed author and speaker, he inspires audiences from students at USC to veterans in Virginia. Amid his accomplishments, his true happiness lies in being a devoted father to four wonderful children.

    Additionally, Talaria Media is now developing a new comedy series loosely based on stories from Mark Greene’s book “Unsealed” as well as writer and director Jamie Anderson’s own life and relationship with her father, who was himself a veteran. The official logline for the series states it is “about a retired Navy SEAL struggling to adjust to civilian life after he’s forced to work at a new age spiritual center with his estranged daughter.”
