If you’ve been reading our blog very long, you know that Brad Thor is one of my favorite thriller authors. His research is always more than current, it’s usually about six months ahead of the news headlines.
Yesterday afternoon he sent an email to his newsletter subscribers with a special treat- a BONUS Chapter for HIDDEN ORDER! Woooo- Hoooo! It sets up Scot Harvath’s next adventure and hints about good things to come.
I noticed in Vince Flynn’s March newsletter that he is posting audio excerpts on his website, www.vinceflynn.com, for THE LAST MAN – the most recent Mitch Rapp novel. In all, Flynn is giving fans a preview of the first eight chapters, almost two hours of audio in total!
Here is a link to the first two chapters from his website:

In my review posted last week, I was talking about how much I loved the Prologue for this book. It really pulled me in, set me up and then left me speechless.
So, today we have a special treat for you, an audio excerpt from the beginning of the Prologue. Give it a listen and then share it with your friends.
Today marks the release of Michael Palmer’s newest medical thriller Political Suicide and to celebrate, Palmer has graciously offered to giveaway a SIGNED Hardcover Edition here on the Lazy Day Books Blog! We’ll tell you how to enter for your chance to win at the end of our review.
I have to say the Prologue is one of the best I’ve read in quite a while and the shock value alone is enough to quickly propel you through many chapters while searching for answers to your questions. I mean, what kind of purely evil person would ever want to do such a thing to the truest, bravest, most honorable men of our armed forces? Because as soon as you read it, you know that wasn’t something these men signed up for, or were ever trained to do, or could ever believe in.
Which means somebody did this to them. And that person absolutely must be stopped.
Mitch Rapp is back!
The last two Rapp Series books went back in time to show us how Mitch Rapp became the meanest, toughest, baddest CIA Counter-terrorist Operative ever. American Assassin set the stage and showed us the whole selection and training process and gave us just the right amounts of insight into his psyche. The second prequel, Kill Shot, was a great action thriller and showed us more about Rapp’s development history.
With The Last Man, we are back to a modern-day setting in Afghanistan, where a CIA agent has gone missing.
Whiplash River by Lou Berney, although a sequel to Gutshot Straight, stands on its own. The main character, Shake, while losing the peace of mind he has worked hard to create becomes inevitably intertwined with an interesting cast of characters.
In the midst of his life literally hanging in the balance, he tries to resurrect an old flame, solve the enigma that is Harrigan Quinn who he begrudgingly partners up with, and dig himself out of the hole that is sure to consume him.
We’ve been talking this week about Ben Coes’ newest thriller, The Last Refuge.
Today we have a special treat for those of you who are good listeners – an audio excerpt of The Last Refuge. Give it a listen and then tell your audiobook loving friends to buy a copy and support a great book!
And don’t forget that we’re giving away a free hardcover edition signed by Ben Coes next Wednesday, July 11. Details are listed in our review and on our FB page.
The Last Refuge by Ben Coes is Book 3 in the Dewey Andreas series and primarily revolves around the at-odds political landscape of three countries: Iran, Israel and The United States.
Israeli Special Forces Commander Kohl Meir (and great-grandson of Golda Meir) is kidnapped by the Iranians off the streets of New York City. Meir is not only a high-profile name for the Iranians to capture, but he also is one of Israel’s deadliest operatives who specializes in killing terrorists. The Iranians are seeking revenge for the deaths of four of their undercover operatives and believe Meir is responsible. They put on a farce of a public trial and…
