This week I met with novelist (and Bulwark+ member!) Brad Thor in a shadowy location (upstairs at Dallas’s magnificent flagship Half Price Books) to discuss his latest book of international intrigue, Shadow of Doubt. We also talked about the idea that men don’t buy novels, smuggling real-world ideas into the universe of his fiction while maintaining their entertainment value, and a potential adaptation of his Scot Harvath novels into a streaming hit. If you’re looking for a late-summer read, make sure to pick up Brad’s book. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

This was my introduction to Brad Thor. I looked on Libby, and there were a few Borrow, but mostly Hold. He will be a needed addition to my audio book list.
Thank you for introducing me to Brad Thor; I love his work!
Such an entertaining podcast! I am going to try like hell to come to Nashville book signing. Brad Thor is the GOAT fiction author!
I loved how Sonny expanded our arts world to include books instead of "just" movies. I've ordered this latest Brad Thor book and now look forward even more to reading it. A question I would have asked is "What actors are you considering to play Scott Harvath?"
Great question. Several names have been floated. Some of it will depend on where we place the series... Hopefully, I'll be able to come back on with Sonny with a big reveal before the end of the year.
