Bestselling duo Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson return to BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss DEFENSE PROTOCOL, the newest release in the #1 New York Times bestselling Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy! The stakes are sky-high when a power-mad Chinese president threatens Taiwan - we cover all aspects of this emotional, intellectual and sometimes physically painful trip into modern warfare! We talked about the next generation of the Ryan family, Katie, and how she does not necessarily feel prepared or equipped for the high-pressure situations in which she finds herself. How does anyone move forward with any confidence? Katie's interactions with her father, President Ryan, were fascinating to us! We also loved discussing the Qiu Lei, Autumn Thunder, aka the Spider. She was a “support asset” aiding the CIA’s human intelligence in China for over 15 years. Given her Kung Fu training and extensive educational background in math, science, history, and rhetoric, we think she might just be an example of a perfect military. You will not believe our discussion about how the Chinese government uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to perform facial recognition, movement tracking, and pattern recognition. Is information the new currency? Although this approach seems contrary to our values, are we unwittingly feeding into it by offering so much information on social media? As always, this writing team is here to talk about the deep subjects and we're loving it!

Bestselling author VICTOR METHOS joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss THE SILENT WATCHER, his newest thriller! Attorney Piper is a guardian ad litem for children who are the victims of crime ... but soon the criminal has Piper and her detective partner his sights. Victor takes us down the very dark psychopathology of a killer. Is there a difference between evil and serial-killer type mental illness? Is evil the result of trauma or abuse? We talked about the complicated relationship between a guardian ad litem and the client - what happens when the child's interests conflict with those of the parents? With law enforcement? We talked about defending the worst offenders and how and when selfish motives and personal goals can skew our justice system. We dove deep into the interesting relationship between Piper and Detective Lazarus. How did these two begin the process of building trust? Is that necessary given the type of work they do? Somehow, Victor worked into this discussion fascinating thoughts on former president John Adams, the Constitution, and archeology! Do not miss this one, especially all of our legal thriller nerds!
