James Reece is someone you’d want to have a beer with but who can flip the switch and get the job done. That is the stage I was in when I started writing.
James Reece is a former Navy SEAL Sniper who becomes an officer and is at that stage in his time in uniform when he’s decided to leave that life behind and take care of his family. I am writing the fourth book, The Devil’s Hand, now. How would you describe him as a character? Most Australian readers are only just being introduced to your hero, James Reece, with the release of The Terminal List, but you’ve written at least four James Reece thrillers. I took the emotions and feelings associated with much of that experience and applied them to the pages of The Terminal List.
The campaign to re-take the city of Najaf in the summer of 2004 was a standout time in my memory. I learned a lot in Afghanistan 2003 and was able to apply and build on that experience in follow-on deployments to Iraq in 2004, 2005, 2006. I also wanted to test myself in the toughest military training I could find. There was never even a question about that. I always knew I wanted to serve my country in uniform. What led you to join the Navy and what were some of the most notable experiences you had during your time as a Navy SEAL? You spent 20 years serving in the US military. A Q&A with the New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List, Book #1 in the James Reece thrillers
