At the age of 24, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon, known as the Outlaws, and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. His New York Times bestselling memoir Outlaw Platoon, tells how close combat reshaped the lives of Parnell and his men, and how the love and faith they found in one another kept them alive. Parnell captured a story of brotherhood and painted an intense searing portrait of war that has rarely been so acutely and realistically captured.

Now Parnell brings his boots-on-the-ground experience to ONE TRUE PATRIOT (William Morrow, on sale 9/3). With Outlaw Platoon, Parnell gave readers a vivid, action-packed true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery that landed readers in the heat and smoke of combat. He brings that same heart and passion to One True Patriot which features special operator Eric Steele-an Alpha-an elite soldier under the direct command of the president of the United States.

When Steele and his mother are ambushed at his home, she lands in the ICU after the brutal attack. While on the hunt for the men who put his mother in a coma, Steele discovers he's become entangled in a far more sinister plan-one that could lead all the way back to his father's clandestine days in the military. A terrorist named Zakayev has escaped the Russian prison and has joined forces with Hassan Sitta, a man who has a bomb planted in the Middle East. But that is only the beginning of a horrifying plan that, if it succeeds, will shatter international alliances and bring the world to the brink of war. S
