From Terror To Valor, a debut novel by John A. Mulhall was widely released on September 11th, 2024. It is a fictional tale about one man’s journey through the war on terror. It explores the human aspects of those who took part, and how much of themselves they gave to it. This complex plot, like in the real world, sees the action aspect of Jack Debaut’s life sit on top of a much greater and deeper story.
In the murky world of international espionage, where betrayal is constant and trust is a luxury, Jack Debaut must balance his loyalty to his country with his father’s haunting past.
Jack, as a decorated US Army Ranger, is fresh from Desert Storm, and dreams of following in his father’s footsteps at the CIA. But the path to becoming a top intelligence operator is fraught with danger and buried secrets that refuse to stay hidden.
Over the years, Jack transitions from soldier to intelligence operative, honing his skills in a world growing ever more dangerous.
In a post-9/11 world gripped by fear, a wave of coordinated terror attacks sweep across cities in the United States and Europe. Standing in the way of disaster is Jack’s cutting-edge software, using predictive algorithms to uncover even the most elusive terrorist networks. As terrorists adapt to evade his software, the team must out-think a network that thrives in the shadows.
As Jack delves deeper into covert operations, he uncovers a chilling conspiracy linking his father’s legacy to the highest levels of government. Was his father’s death really at the hands of the enemy? What he uncovers could threaten the future of America as a democracy and expose the CIA’s darkest secrets.
With enemies closing in, Jack must navigate explosive firefights and shifting alliances in the shadowy corridors of power. From a deadly ambush in a European capital to uncovering a powerful network with ties to both extremist groups and corrupt officials, every step draws him closer to the truth. One wrong move could threaten his family, his mission, and his very survival.
Fans of The Bourne Identity and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy will devour this electrifying thriller packed with gripping action, razor-sharp twists, and international intrigue.
If you love non-stop action and can’t put down Vince Flynn or Mark Greaney, this book is for you.
Will Jack unearth the truth and protect everything he holds dear—or will the secrets of the past claim his life and the future of a nation?
Launching a debut novel is a learning experience for any author. For John, it was a valuable lesson in not rushing to market. Slow is smooth, and in this case, John’s launch came fast on the heels of the novel’s audiobook production. This mid-project inclusion saw critical weeks sawed off the project’s marketing time. It also provided him with learned lessons for his next writing adventure.
