Tom Clancy died in 2013, but his legacy is continuing with the permission of his family estate with the new authors, Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson.

On 21 May, 2024, now 40 years after the release of Red October, we see the launch of the new Tom Clancy book, Act of Defiance, written by Andrews and Wilson. Brian Andrews is an Ex-Submariner and Jeffrey Wilson is a Ex-Navy SEAL Medic. Their joint experience packs an amazing punch in their many novels, including the continuation of the Tom Clancy legacy.

In this episode, Jeff Smith is talking with Jeff Wilson, about how he and Brian Andrews work together as joint authors to write best-selling books such as the amazing series, Tier 1, and Sons of Valour, and now Act of Defiance in the Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan Series.. There's no holds barred, they talk about how they write, the money they make, books, audiobooks and eBook strategies.

Navy veteran and Wall Street Journal and bestselling thriller author Jeffrey Wilson is a vascular surgeon who was completing his training when terrorists attacked America on 9/11. Already having served, Jeff immediately re-joined the active duty Navy and served as a combat surgeon with the Marines and then with an East Coast–based SEAL team and a Joint Special Operations Task Force, making multiple deployments. His experiences there --- seeing things that cannot be unseen --- sent him on his own journey exploring, and at times questioning, his faith, and are the inspiration for this novel. Jeff has also worked as an actor, a firefighter, a paramedic, a jet pilot and a diving instructor.
