Scars

A Short Story

By: Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson

You may think you know John Dempsey, but not like this!

In Scars, Tier One fans get a rare glimpse into Dempsey’s past when he was Jack Kemper, a young Navy SEAL operating in Iraq. Discover the story of Dempsey’s first encounter with Mahmood Bin Jabbar (the villain in War Shadows) and learn how Dempsey got his iconic serpentine scar.

With Scars, Andrews & Wilson are launching the first installment in a new series of novellas called Tier One Origins. Each short features a different Tier One character during a pivotal event in their past before joining Task Force Ember.

Dempsey”s motivation explained

Now we know why Dempsey made such a huge sacrifice when Jarvis asked. Entertaining and thought provoking.

More Dempsey Please!

Love these books, all of them! Can’t get enough. Will you be doing more origin stories?

It was exactly what was needed, a history lesson on a wonderful leading figure

As I listen to the storylines I remember the series and how it all started. My biggest hope is this not the last time we hear from these characters.

Another A&W great book

It is great to get to know Jack Kemper better. It is, as all A&W works, a book I will listen to again.

Awesome prequel!

Love this prequel to the series. Jarvis and Dempsey are so inspiring. Thanks to Wilson/Andrews for this book! Of course, Ray Porter is my favorite narrator. 💙
