“A true thriller expect and an exciting new voice in the genre.” — Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rising Tiger
Good news!
If you’ve followed me here at The Real Book Spy for a while, then you probably already know that earlier this year, I took a quick break from covering thrillers to release my own. Fields of Fire stars former Marine Raider Matthew Redd as he returns to his hometown in Montan for the first time in a decade to investigate the death of his father . . . only to accidentally uncover a global conspiracy that only he can stop.
Writing Fields of Fire was something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m proud to say that the follow-up, Lethal Range, will hit bookstores next August. But that’s not all—in the next week or so I’ll have another announcement to make, and while I can’t spill all the details just yet, the bottom line is that there will be a lot more adventures with Matthew Redd in the very near future.
“You know Ryan Steck as the Real Book Spy. Now, get to know him as the author of Fields of Fire, his debut thriller featuring Marine Raider Matthew Redd in a battle that will leave you speechless and begging for more. Lock and load!” — Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of In The Blood.
Fields of Fire has only been out close to four months now, but I have been overwhelmed by the support from readers, many of whom have left reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. And now, I’m excited to share that both Amazon and Barnes & Noble are currently offering half-off sales for Fields of Fire. So, whether you want the hardcover, the eBook, or the audiobook, you can get it right now for 50% of the regular price. I have no control over discounts, sales, or how long they’ll last, so get it while you can! Amazon could end their promotional price anytime, but it looks like Barnes & Noble will continue their sale—which is good online or in any of their bookstores—through the month. That’s only a few more days, but there’s still plenty of time to save big on my debut book. And I’d be honored if you’d consider checking it out.
Here’s a little bit about the plot.
You know Ryan Steck as the Real Book Spy. Now, get to know him as the author of Fields of Fire, his debut thriller featuring Marine Raider Matthew Redd in a battle that will leave you speechless and begging for more. Lock and load!” ―Jack Carr, Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of In The Blood
Waiting to be deployed on a critical mission, elite Marine Raider Matthew Redd stops to help a stranger and wakes up hours later to learn his team was wiped out in an ambush. Unable to remember anything, Redd can’t deny the possibility that he’s somehow responsible for the information leak that led to the massacre. He’s given a deal to avoid a charge of treason, but it means walking away from the Corps and the life he loved.
As he faces his loss, Matty gets a cryptic message from his adoptive father, J. B.: “Trouble’s come knocking. . . . Might need your help.” He points his truck home to rural Montana, only to discover that J. B. is dead and the explanation for his death is far from satisfying. Determined to dig up the truth, Redd uncovers a dark global conspiracy with his hometown at the center and no team at his back―except one he might find among past friends, old enemies, and new allies, if he can figure out who to trust.
If you do grab a copy of Fields of Fire, shoot me a message on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and let me know. I’d be happy to send you a free signed bookplate to go with it.
Happy reading!
Ryan
