The Adversary
From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, The Adversary is the next heart-stopping installment in the Tier One series.

For John Dempsey, it’s a time of uncertainty.

As a new administration tries to piece together who was behind the assassination of an American president, task force Ember is a team without a target. Newly Minted POTUS, Kelso Jarvis, is haunted by strange dreams of a house on fire, and Dempsey’s son Jake—who has begun his own journey as a SEAL—can’t escape the ghost of the father he believes to be dead.

But when a routine intelligence gathering mission in Taiwan goes horribly wrong and one of Ember’s own is captured, Dempsey’s frustration only grows. As Ember races to rescue their teammate before it’s too late, three of America’s strongest warriors—Dempsey, Jarvis, and Jake—must ask themselves if tomorrow’s adversary resides across the Taiwan Strait, or within themselves.

About the Author

Jeff Wilson is the author of the Archon Sigil series. In addition to writing fantasy and science fiction, his interests include collectible card games such as Magic the Gathering (not interested at all but compelled to participate), self-promotion (considers it a deep personal torture), self-deprecating sarcasm, etymology, theoretical physics (emphasis on theoretical or maybe even crack-pot theoretical), milk and cookies, and finally, above all else, relaxing at home with a good book.

Navy veterans Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson (Andrews & Wilson) are the New York Times bestselling writing team behind the Wall Street Journal, Audible, and #1 Amazon bestselling Tier One series which has been optioned for television. Brian is a nuclear engineer and Park Leadership Fellow who served as an officer on a fast-attack submarine. Jeff is a vascular surgeon and jet pilot who conducted combat operations with an East Coast–based SEAL team and worked in covert government task forces. Their other works include the Sons of Valor and Shepherds series and the twenty-fourth installment in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series, Act of Defiance.
