As the release date for In The Blood fast approaches, Danger Close listeners get a special early listen to the prologue and first two chapters.   For one it’s business. For the other it’s personal. For two of the deadliest killers on the planet, it’s time to hunt.  A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel. Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky. Over 6,000 miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news. One face triggers a distant memory of a Mossad operative attached to the CIA years earlier in Iraq—a woman with ties to the intelligence services of two nations…a woman Reece thought he would never see again.  Reece enlists friends new and old across the globe to track down her killer, unaware that he is walking into a deadly trap. Mark your calendars. In the Blood hits shelves on May 17, but you can pre-order it now!   Audio excerpt courtesy of Simon & Schuster Audio from IN THE BLOOD by Jack Carr, read by Ray Porter.

Today’s guest is Des Powell, a veteran of the SAS who served 28 years in the British military going behind enemy lines in one of the Gulf War’s earliest and most dangerous missions.   His new book, SAS Bravo Three Zero: The Explosive Untold Story tells the story of Des’ experience during the opening hours of the Gulf War. From the publisher: There were three patrols that fateful January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero … then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different. Thought differently. Acted differently. Treating as gospel the SAS’s saying ‘any fool can be uncomfortable’, they deployed with vehicles, and while there was nowhere to hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that McNab’s patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected – the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi lines. Slipping through enemy positions, a string of targets were taken out. But with the desert turning bitter and snow starting to fall, they were forced to fight a running battle against the elements as much as the enemy.  You can follow Des on Instagram @des.p22  Sponsors  Navy Federal Credit Union: Today’s episode is presented by Navy Federal Credit Union.
