Writing withNew York Timesbestselling author Bret Witter, SEAN MCFATE burst into the military action thriller genre with his highly-praised debut "Shadow War" which theProvidence Journalcalled “A tour de force.” 

            Leaning on his experiences working in the private military industry, the U.S. Army and Amnesty International, McFate returns to the world of military contractor Tom Locke in DEEP BACK (Morrow, on sale 8/8/2017)).  

            After a mission goes horribly wrong in the Ukraine, Locke is on the run from his former employer Apollo Outcomes, a private military corporation led by the treacherous Brad Winters. Locke and his team travel to Iraq, where they find work rescuing refugees trapped behind ISIS lines, often paid next to nothing.

            Meanwhile, in Paris a motorcade is ambushed by masked men, who corner a Saudi prince and steal a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. A thousand miles away in Istanbul, the prince's brother receives a mysterious phone call, and moments later, he narrowly escapes a black ops ambush after a dash through the grand bazaar.

            In Iraq, a stranger approaches Locke and offers him good money to track down the young prince, whom they fear has joined ISIS. What Locke doesn't know is that multiple sides of a clandestine war are scrambling to find the prince; that he may be holding the key to a new world order; and that his father may or may not be using him to topple the Saudi government. As Locke pushes deeper into ISIS territory, he must navigate both the on-the-ground battle lines and the larger Deep State war he has stumbled into yet again.
