Mike Maden grew up working in the canneries, feed mills, and slaughterhouses of California's San Joaquin Valley. A lifelong fascination with history and warfare ultimately lead to a Ph.D. in political science focused on conflict and technology in international relations. Years later he earned a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary. Like millions of others, he first became a Tom Clancy fan after reading THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. He began his published fiction career in the same techno-thriller genre, starting with DRONE and its sequels, and in 2017 joined “The Campus” as a writer in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Jr., series starting with POINT OF CONTACT. LINE OF SIGHT, ENEMY CONTACT and FIRING POINT followed, each hitting #3 on the New York Times bestseller list. Mike is currently working on an exciting new franchise that has yet to be announced…  

Episode One Hundred Three - Mike Maden We talk to Mike Maden, the author tasked with taking up the Tom Clancy moniker about his latest installment in the Jack Ryan series.

Hey there word nerds! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Mike Maden. Mike grew up working in the canneries, feed mills and slaughterhouses of California’s San Joaquin Valley. A lifelong fascination with history and warfare ultimately led to a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California at Davis with a focus on conflict and technology in international relations. Like millions of others, he first became a Tom Clancy fan after reading The Hunt for Red October, and began his published fiction career in the same techno-thriller genre, starting with Drone and the sequels, Blue Warrior, Drone Command and Drone Threat. After spending over a decade in Dallas, Maden now lives in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Tom Clancy and his unforgettable characters have been a household name for as long as I can remember, and since 2017, Maden brought his ideal background and knowledge of war and tech to the family of Clancy co-authors and collaborators, beginning with Tom Clancy Point of Contact. His books have garnered plenty of attention and acclaim, and his fourth entry in this #1 NYT-bestselling series, titled Tom Clancy Firing Point, is out now. Once again, Mike taps into his incredible background as an author and expert to hit the trifecta of what makes a great Clancy book: Tom’s terrific characters combined with edge-of-your-seat action scenes and the over-the-horizon foretelling about world events. In this episode Mike and I discuss: How to create deeply flawed characters that readers still like Why figuring out the stakes can help you populate your story’s universe His outline process and how it balances creativity and structure Plus, his #1 tip for writers.

In ENEMY CONTACT, Jack Ryan, Jr. finds himself at odds with an international criminal conspiracy. An inside leak has allowed the CIA’s deepest secrets to be given away for a larger agenda that threatens to undermine the entire Western intelligence community. Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley wants it stopped but doesn't know who, how or why. Jack, meanwhile, is dispatched to Poland on a different mission. The clues are thin, and the sketchy trail dead ends in a harrowing fight where he barely escapes with his life. And as if that's not bad enough, Jack gets more tragic news: An old friend who's dying from cancer has one final request for Jack. It seems simple enough, but before it's done, Jack will find himself alone, his life hanging by a thread. If he survives, he'll be one step closer to finding the shadowy figure behind the CIA leak and its true purpose, but in the process, he'll challenge the world's most dangerous criminal syndicate with devastating consequences. With TOM CLANCY ENEMY CONTACT, Mike Maden delivers yet another spellbinding tale of international intrigue and suspense that could be ripped from tomorrow’s headlines, proving himself yet again to be worthy of carrying on not just Clancy’s #1 bestselling series, but also his legacy.
