What do you write after LEOPARDS KILL, AMERICAN SNIPER, and a string of other "hard edge" thrillers?
How about a little comic relief with a sardonic FBI agent who fights to make the world safe for a good cup of coffee?
Kirkus Reviews, the notoriously tough industry reviewer, gave Jim's new book, The HELIOS CONSPIRACY, a starred review: "Smarter and funnier than its Da Vinci-esque title might suggest, this book is a complete success,... with rapid-fire dialogue, and convincing storytelling, which exposes the overlap between science and politics. The climax, played out on New Mexico's Indian ruins in the dead of night, could hardly be more satisfying."
THE HELIOS CONSPIRACY stars Andy Fisher, brought back by popular demand from several of Jim's earlier works, including THREAT LEVEL BLACK and CYCLOPS ONE.
AMERICAN SNIPER, still #1 on the NY Times Bestseller List, is about highly decorated Navy Seal Chris Kyle's real-life exploits protecting the lives of hundreds of American soldiers in Iraq. Want to get a taste of what's in the book? Listen to Jim's recorded interviews with Chris on his website at jimdefelice.com. Intense doesn't begin to describe them!
Just out: SHOCK OF WAR, Jim's latest novel with Larry Bond in the RED DRAGON RISING series.
At Last! The entire JAKE GIBBS PATRIOT SPY series is now available on Kindle. Just $2.99 each until March 1, when the price goes up. The final installment, THE GOLDEN FLASK, completes the trilogy with the wildest, craziest espionage mission of all -- Jake must find out which city British forces will strike next, by penetrating their headquarters in New York City. Claus van Clynne, General George Washington, and the Culpers band of spies join in the fun.
In OMAR BRADLEY: GENERAL AT WAR, Jim restores the Five Star General's reputation as an important American citizen, a bold battlefield commander, and the brilliant planner of D-Day and Cobra. Delving deeply into historical archives, official records, unpublished scrapbooks and diaries by aides and colleagues, DeFelice uncovered a riveting story of Bradley's unique contributions to Allied victory, heading the largest body of U.S. soldiers to serve under one field command.
In RANGERS AT DIEPPE, Jim offers an intimate look at another little-known raid that became the Rangers first "trial by fire" and the innovative commander, William O. Darby, who trained them. (CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS ON THE SIDE OF THIS PAGE)
"White-hot action" and "intelligent heroes" are the prime ingredients in all Jim DeFelice books. From his first 1992 NY Times bestselling novel "Coyote Bird" [a high-flying "man vs. doomsday machine" thriller], DeFelice has written more than 30 high-energy, thought-provoking books and short stories, featuring male and female heroes both fictional and real.
"I'm one of those people who has a lot of interests and I've been very lucky to be able to pursue them," DeFelice says. "I'm best known for military and spy thrillers, especially 'Leopards Kill,' and probably for my collaborations with Dick Marcinko [Rogue Warrior series], Steve Coonts [Deep Black], Dale Brown [Dreamland/Whiplash], and Larry Bond [First Team/Red Dragon Rising.]"
