On October 29th, 2024, New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Wilson will release a brand new supernatural horror thriller titled Julian’s Numbers, and Book Spy readers are getting an exclusive first look at what to expect later this year.
Wilson, who is one-half of Andrews & Wilson (along with Brian Andrews), the most dynamic writing duo in the thriller genre today, was penning solo novels well before teaming up with his long-time co-author. Most recently, the duo released their first Jack Ryan novel, Tom Clancy Act of Defiance, a direct sequel to Clancy’s iconic debut novel, The Hunt for Red October (1984), which is arguably this summer’s biggest blockbuster. However, they’re probably best known for their Tier One series, which combined, has over 54,000 reviews on Amazon alone.
Now, Wilson is set to release another solo book, and his latest offering is said to mix a little scare with the thrills.
“For me, Julian’s Numbers feels a little like coming home,” said Wilson in an exclusive statement to The Real Book Spy. “Before there was Andrews & Wilson, I had published four novels—my faith-based drama War Torn and three supernatural thrillers, The Traiteur’s Ring, The Donors, and Fade To Black. Horror and ghost stories were tales I grew up devouring every bit as much as LeCarre, Ludlum, and Clancy.
“In Julian’s Number’s I embraced my roots and wrote a ghost story with a few twists on that genre.”
See all the details below.
Release Date: October 29, 2024
A ghastly curse. A growing evil. Can Julian save all that he loves?
Julian wants more than anything to be like every other kid—skateboard, hang out with friends, have sleepovers, and tease his little brother and sister. But Julian has a special gift, one which, to him, feels more of a curse.
In his dreams, he is visited by spirits who tell him things—sometimes very important things.
He has called these “tell-you” dreams since he was little, and he knows now to keep them secret, ever since one such dream came true when the little Mendes girl down the street was murdered in her basement.
But now, Julian will need the ghosts from his dreams more than ever. Voices have given him the winning lottery numbers and he and his family are setting out on a family sailing vacation on their new sailboat, Julian’s Numbers.
The dreams are warning him of an evil that will capture his mother and put his entire family—and maybe much more—at risk. He will need to listen to his ghosts if he is to have any chance of stopping the growing evil aboard their yacht and save his family from certain death…
THE SHINING meets DEAD CALM in this supernatural horror thriller from the mind of Jeff Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of the TIER ONE and THE SHEPHERDS Series and now Tom Clancy’s JACK RYAN Series.
Jeffrey Wilson has at one time worked as an actor, a firefighter, a paramedic, a jet pilot, a diving instructor, a Naval Officer, and a Vascular and Trauma Surgeon. He also served numerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Navy combat surgeon, deploying with an East Coast-based SEAL Team as part of a Joint Special Operations Task Force. He is the author of three award-winning Supernatural thrillers from JournalStone Publishing: THE TRAITEUR’S RING (2011), THE DONORS (2012), and FADE TO BLACK (2013). He is also the author of the faith-based, inspirational wartime novel WAR TORN.
Jeff and his wife, Wendy, are Virginia natives who, with children Ashley, Emma, Jack, and Connor, call Tampa, Florida home. He still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense when not hard at work on his next book.
