The Crew welcomed a long-anticipated guest this week as Matthew Betley joined the boys to discuss his wildly original new novel, THE NEIGHBORHOOD. His Logan Pike series has long been a Crew favorite, and now Betley takes us on a blood-pumping ride through THE NEIGHBORHOOD. “Die Hard in a gated community, Matthew Betley's new book, The Neighborhood, is a stand-on-the-pedal, runaway-train thrill ride of the year. Ever find yourself looking down the wrong end of a gun barrel? That's exactly what this relentless book will do to your heart rate. Don't just buy it. Armor up!” —Chris Hauty, national bestselling author of Deep State and Storm Rising. For most of the citizens of Hidden Refuge, it's an ordinary Friday night in an ordinary American town. But when men claiming to be police officers show up at their doorsteps in the middle of the night, ordering them to evacuate for their own safety, it's only the beginning of a long, dark night that will prove to be anything but ordinary. Unbeknownst to most of its residents, Hidden Refuge contains something that very dangerous men desperately want, and they are more than willing to kill to get it. But Hidden Refuge contains another secret—Zack Chambers, a seemingly unassuming programmer and suburbanite family man who is far more than meets the eye. And while Zack dearly hoped that he'd never again need to use the deadly skills he'd acquired in his former life, when push comes to shove, he'll do whatever it takes to protect himself and his neighbors. Even if it means taking on a small army of trained killers with only his wits and a ragtag group of allies. Before the night is over, the blood of the innocent and the guilty alike will be shed, old scores will be settled, and shocking twists will be revealed. Propulsive, brilliantly plotted, and packed with Matthew Betley's trademark blend of gritty realism and edge-of-your-seat action, The Neighborhood is a can't-miss thriller. Matthew Betley is the author of the Logan West Thrillers and a former Marine Officer of ten years. Trained as a scout sniper platoon commander, an infantry officer, and a ground intelligence officer, his experiences include deployments to Djibouti after September 11 and Fallujah and Iraq prior to the Surge. A New Jersey native who considers Cincinnati home but now resides on the East Coast, he graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, with a BA in psychology and minors in political science and sociology. -------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to The Crew Reviews, hit the "LIKE" button, and leave a comment.

His second and third novels, OATH OF HONOR and FIELD OF VALOR, have received similar critical acclaim, with RULES OF WAR coming out 16 July 2019.

Toxins in burn pit smoke may affect the skin, eyes, respiratory and cardiovascular systems, gastrointestinal tract and internal organs. Veterans who were closer to burn pit smoke or exposed for longer periods may be at greater risk. Health effects depend on a number of other factors, such as the kind of waste being burned and wind direction.VA: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/burnpits/ Burn Pit Registry: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/burnpits/registry.asp Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)

Tonight we spoke to thriller author MATTHEW BETLEY about his newest book just released: "RULES OF WAR."
Don’t ever say that a little anger can’t be turned around for good. Matthew Betley is living proof that a whole lotta disdain for something, if re-directed in the right way, can lead to something pretty amazing. He took his anger, specifically for a highly-recommended international spy thriller he decided to start reading on vacation, but just couldn’t finish because it was so poorly written, and turned it into an action-thriller book series of his own. Before that though, he spent ten years as an officer in the Marine Corps, deploying to both Djibouti and Fallujah. He’s also a recovering alcoholic, with 9-1/2 years of sobriety. And now he is the author of three books in the Logan West Thrillers Series: Overwatch, Oath of Honor, and Field of Valor, with more on the way! This is an amazing story of one man who thought he could do much better, and did just that. Period.

Matthew Betley served ten years in the Marine Corps as an officer, and is now fulfilling his dream and what he describes as his life's purpose as a military thriller writer. He's now three books into the Logan West series, the latest of which is "Field of Valor." He hopes to see the Logan West series receive similar critical acclaim to Brad Thor's Scot Harvath series as he keeps putting out quality books each year. You'll hear how the character of West is inspired by some of Betley's own life, and what inspired Betley to pick up a pen in the first place. Matthew also talks about his own personal battle with alcohol addiction, and the joy of now living life sober and as a family man. Matthew will also be on the road the rest of this month signing books and meeting readers, so check out those dates at MatthewBetley.com. Get the latest book autographed, and be sure to tell Matthew what you thought of the interview! Also on the episode we have an in-depth discussion on the Satmar sect of Hasidic Jews protesting Israel this past weekend in New York City, which leads to a talk about religious cults. We later have a conversation about the size and scope of government, and political ideology.

My first guest on the Tami Jackson Show* tonight will be Matthew Betley. A former USMC officer of ten years, Matthew was deployed to Djibouti after 9/11 and Iraq, prior to the Surge, and very much understands the military life, having lived it himself. He appreciates the intricacies of an officer's mind and that personal experience shines through in the authenticity of his writing. A New Jersey native who considers Cincinnati home, he graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, with a B.A. in psychology and minors in political science and sociology. Matt's debut novel, Overwatch, hit the market in March 2016 with a big bang, a high-octane thriller that we talked about on the show two years ago. It was announced in February of this year that Thunder Road acquired the movie rights to Overwatch! Thunder Road Pictures has acquired film rights to Matthew Betley's novel “Overwatch.” J.P. Davis is set to adapt the thriller. Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Braden Aftergood are attached to produce the upcoming movie. The novel was published by Emily Bestler Books, a division of Simon&Schuster, and was nominated for a Barry Award. Betley, a former marine, writes intense, high-action thrillers that center on the adventures of former Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance officer Logan West. In this novel, West impulsively answers a dead man's ringing phone, triggering a global race against the clock to track down an unknown organization searching for an Iraqi artifact that is central to a planned attack in the Middle East — one that will draw the United States into a major conflict with Iran. Last year I had Matt on to talk about the release of book number two in his Logan West series, Oath of Honor. Today marks the release of the third installment in the Logan West series, Field of Valor: Set in the aftermath of Betley's “machine-gun pace” (Booklist) Oath of Honor and the discovery of a deadly global conspiracy, the president requests Logan West to form a covert task force with the mission to dismantle a nameless enemy. With the full resources of the Justice Department, Intelligence Community, and the military (not to mention presidential pardons pre-signed), Logan must battle a secret organization with the connections and funding to rival many first-world nations. The goal of this organization is both singular and sinister—to pit the United States against China in a bid to dismantle the world's security and economy. Back on US soil, Logan and his task force pursue the elusive foe from the woods of northern Virginia to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, from suburban Maryland across the urban sprawl of Washington DC. The stakes have never been higher for Logan or America. Check out Matthew Betley's website with interview and book signing dates: MatthewBetley.com/events Don't miss a minute as Matt and I discuss his newest book and the Overwatch movie -- it's great to watch a truly good guy find his niche in writing and see the rewards of his hard work! ************************** My guest in the second half hour will be Joe Dan Gorman. Joe Dan's bio at Intellectual Froglegs: Born in Dallas Texas, and raised in the hills of eastern Kentucky, Joe Dan Gorman spent most of his adult life in the southern Arizona real estate investment market where he served as broker, investor and private consultant. He was vice-president of the largest (at the time) real estate investment company in southern Arizona. When the real estate market collapsed in 2007, in combination with a multi-year custody battle for his son— Joe Dan lost everything. Within a 3 month period, Joe Dan's dad died, his son was taken, and his livelihood collapsed. Suddenly Joe Dan went from a beautiful home in the Catalina foothills to living and working in an unfinished basement for the next six years. In May of 2008, Joe Dan, almost 50 years of age at the time, moved to his Aunt Jean's Kansas City basement. He could not find a job anywhere, doing anything -- not even working in fast food restaurants. In 2009, Joe Dan produced his very first video on a laptop and the free Windows Movie Maker software that came with the computer. “I will follow him” was the title and it accrued over 200K views. Soon thereafter, he became a semi-regular on KMBZ AM-Radio in Kansas City until he was banned after the station took a liberal slant. In 2011, Joe Dan who was about to be baptized— was ‘dis-invited' from his baptism at the KC church for asking too many questions. He wrote about that here. It was shortly after that when Joe Dan said God came into his life via the basement, and just a few months later, in 2012, Joe Dan created Intellectual Froglegs. In 2013, he was nominated for Video Blogger of the Year at CPAC in Washington DC. And now his job is Intellectual Froglegs, where he makes just enough to produce the next episode. Joe Dan has rejected corporate affiliations that require him to compromise his core Christian beliefs. Intellectual Froglegs If you've not see an Intellectual Froglegs episode you are missing out on maybe the most entertaining 30 minutes you've ever seen: Joe Dan narrates each fast-paced, irreverent, hysterical minute! Gorman adds fantastic music -- lots of rock -- to punctuate the segments. Making fun of liberals and their wholesale lunacy has never been so much fun!

Talk about backstory? Matthew’s background is incredibly interesting. The now best-selling author joined the Marines after finding his calling soon after breaking up a fight at a movie theatre. He became an author after realizing he could write a better novel than the “boring” best seller he was reading at the time. He talks about finding the right path for his career, even if it wasn’t what he would have envisioned for himself. But of most importance to him, Matt talks about his upcoming novel Field of Valor, the latest installment in a series of thrillers featuring the protagonist Logan West. Field of Valor can be preordered here, and found wherever books are sold when it is released this coming Tuesday, May 22nd. He was recently back on campus providing life and business tips to Miami’s ROTC program.
We first spoke to thriller writer MATTHEW BETLEY, author of two books: OVERWATCH and OATH OF HONOR -- with a third book in the works. BZ reads Betley and thought everyone would enjoy some insight into Matt's craft. We wrapped up with more buttery political goodness. Oh my. Where does the Deep State corruption stop? Certainly NOT with the DOJ or the FBI.
Next Steps with Jenny Milchman and the ITW present our new episode! On this month's show, Jenny Milchman will be talking to authors Chris Kuzneski and Matthew Betley. Chris was thrilled to see his action/adventure release garner award attention at this year's ThrillerFest, while Matthew is signed up for two more books and is talking with movie studios. These guests will discuss an oft overlooked sub-genre and what may happen as it takes its place beside the big guns on the thriller stage.

“As a former Marine, Betley really knows his stuff. Fans of nonstop, nail-biting action will love this one!” —Kyle Mills, #1 New York Times bestselling author When Logan West impulsively answers a dead man’s ringing phone, he triggers a global race against the clock to track down an unknown organization searching for an Iraqi artifact that is central to a planned attack in the Middle East—one that will draw the United States into a major conflict with Iran. Logan, a former Marine officer, is quickly contracted as a “consultant” to assist the FBI as part of a special task force bent on stopping the shadowy operatives, whatever the cost. The battles are nonstop, from the plains of the Midwest, to mansions in northern Mexico, to the war-torn Al-Anbar province, pitting an international team against trained mercenaries employed by the world’s largest private security contractor...whose owner has a personal vendetta against the US government. Meanwhile, Logan is battling his own demons, especially the trauma of the ambush that his Force Recon unit suffered at an insurgent torture compound in Fallujah in 2004, which threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. With high-stakes and fully-realized characters, Overwatch is a thriller unlike any you’ve read before: deftly plotted, up-to-the-minute, and impossible to put down. - From Amazon Reviews
