Remember that pizza place you loved growing up? For me, it was Maria’s Pizza in downtown Beverly, and they’re still there! Imagine that you’ve gone back to that pizza place. Looks the same. Smells the same. You’re salivating before you can even order. I am, just thinking about it. You get your pizza, drive it home and then–life gets in the way. A pet emergency. A child suddenly needing to make a diorama. Montezuma rises from the depths of Taco Tuesday to exact his hot, spicy vengeance. Point is, that pizza you were looking forward to so much? It’s in the fridge, cooling off, waiting…congealing. For what feels like forever, you put out the fires of life. Through the night. Through the following day, until finally, the next night…you’re alone. You reheat that pizza–as you did a hundred times when you were young–bust out the root beer, and finally, ecstatically take a bite. THIS is the journey of KINGDOM, except the single day of life’s assaults was stretched out for years. But, the end has come. KINGDOM is here, reheated and ready for you to consume! Let’s get into it!
KINGDOM
The entire Jack Sigler series was born out of a strange confluence of events. At the time, I’d self-published THE DIDYMUS CONTINGENCY, RAISING THE PAST, and ANTARKTOS RISING. The editor at St. Martin’s Press, Peter Wolverton, noticed ANTARKTOS on Amazon, loved the cover (my design) and bought a copy. He loved the book and contacted me. The offer boiled down to this: “Can you write something just like this (action, military, monsters), but don’t mention religion?” I said yes, and delivered….INSTINCT.
That’s right, PULSE wasn’t the original Book 1.
The editor wanted a smoother launch for the team, and since I had killed both Knight and Bishop in that first version of INSTINCT, I needed to come up with a story where that wasn’t a possibility. The solution came from a movie script I’d written a few years earlier, titled HYDRA. It was the first screenplay I’d ever written and featured George Pierce as the main character. I retained a lot of that original story, including George, and made it part of PULSE, which became Book 1 and launched what would become my longest series. KINGDOM bookends the series with just as much action, monsters, and intrigue as that first book, and I’m proud of what the series has become–bigger than me. While I wrote those first three novels on my own, I was joined by Kane Gilmour and Sean Ellis for the rest of the novels, along with Kent Holloway, David Wood, Edward G. Talbot, David McAfee, and Ethan Cross. This series has been running for nearly as long as my career, and while I’m sad to see it end, it’s a worthy ending that is both…brutal…and like that trip back home for your favorite pizza. Enjoy the last slice, my friends!
AUDIOBOOK:
Getting to the end of a novel series as long as the Jack Sigler Thrillers with the same narrator throughout is becoming a rarity these days. But Jeffrey Kafer has been on board for every single Sigler book and all of the many spin-offs. I’m thrilled to have him on board, once again, this time to finish out the series. No one knows the team and their voices better than Jeff, and I can’t wait for you to hear how he’s brought KINGDOM to life!
THE STORY:
Jack Sigler, callsign: King, and the elite Chess Team operatives have been relentlessly hunting for their abducted former leader, Tom Duncan. An urgent call from George Pierce’s shadowy Cerberus Group catapults them to the treacherous Southern Ocean, where they clash with ferocious prehistoric nightmares in a fight for survival.
Before Chess Team can rendezvous with Pierce’s mysterious allies, unseen adversaries strike, while across the world, the American and Russian presidents are each assassinated. In a small city in Western China, the entire populace faces an onslaught from a devastating space-based weapon, unlike anything the world has known.
Chess Team rushes to unravel the only leads they have, with the world on the brink of disaster. They plunge into a global chase, uncovering a sinister subterfuge that spans continents. As catastrophic satellite attacks ravage cities, King and his team are thrust into the epicenter of a diabolical new kingdom. There, they face a reality that could mark their final stand.
New York Times and #1 Audible bestselling author Jeremy Robinson once again teams up with international bestseller Kane Gilmour for a rocket-fueled, action-packed adventure, bringing characters to a long-awaited collision and two novel series to a rampaging conclusion.
I still remember many years ago when I was still in high school and a new author I’d not heard of reached out to me on Facebook based on my interest in Indiana Jones about a new novel called Pulse. I was thrilled to be contacted by the author himself, and devoured the book. The Chess Team series quickly became my favorite novel series, and still is to this day. I’ve enjoyed all of the amazing and thrilling stories, and I’m beyond excited for one last adventure with the team I fell in love with. Thank you for the many years of fun with these characters!
