Welcome to episode 103 of the Course of Action Podcast. Today we welcome #1 NY Times Bestselling author Mark Greaney, back to the show. That's right, we got him on a second time in six months!
Mark is the author of several Tom Clancy novels, 13 Gray Man novels, and is now releasing Sentinel, the second book in the Armored Series featuring protagonist Josh Duffy. In this book, Duffy is in Africa providing personal security when a coup occurs and he must not only protect the people he's assigned to protect, but also his wife and kids that came along for the mission.
As a follower of political science and geopolitical affairs, Mark researches his book subjects heavily, even traveling to places like Ghana and 35 other countries in order to get that real-world experience that lends the highest levels of authenticity to every book that he writes. In this episode, we also talk about his travels including to the Akosombo Dam, a location that is centered in Sentinel.
In this episode, Jeff and Mark talk about location research, training for fight sights and emergency scenarios, riding in an F-18 Hornet, what it's like writing two books a year, and what's new in Gray Man movie news.
