A Thriller · Coming in 2027
The Hero

Deacon Ross

A Hero in a Class of His Own

He has the brutal efficiency of the operators you know, minus the tortured-soul routine. The intellect of the scholars you admire, without the tweed and timidity. He's the type of guy you'd want to have a beer with, yet he could provide a dissertation on the history of the beverage. His elite military experience has certainly left its emotional and physical scars, but his charm and optimism shine through. There is no question he can kick ass, but he prefers other options before dipping into the beast.

Modern thrillers, rooted in history, built on adventure, sharpened by espionage. Deacon's story begins with The Asset in 2027.

The Author

Guy Mace

Semper curiosus… always curious.

Guy Mace is a mechanical engineer by training, and investor and advisor by trade. Exotic locations are some of his favorite characters, having travelled to six of the seven continents and transformed by the cultural and geographical treasures found there. Like many writers in this genre, Guy has written a little of himself into his protagonist, Deacon Ross. They're both fans of history, adventure and truth. They're serious guys, but can't always contain the sarcasm. They adore the outdoors and relish any opportunity to spend time there. Guy writes the thriller he always wanted to read and could never quite find: one author's style with another's substance; history's weight under a modern pulse.

Driving it all… perpetual curiosity. Semper curiosus.
