🏆OFFICIAL SELECTION📚 — MEN’S ADVENTURE FICTION MAY

Only the fiercest stories survive—and this one came out swinging.

Locked, loaded, and blood-bound—this is Ireland like you’ve never seen it.

In a militarized 21st-century Ireland reeling from global conflict, one detective is forced into the shadows to fight terror at home.

The Hound and the Scorpion is a gritty, high-stakes military thriller packed with political intrigue, counterterrorism action, and explosive suspense. Set in an alternate modern timeline where Ireland joins NATO after the fall of Afghanistan, the story follows Padraig O’Laoghaire, a sharp-witted but reckless Irish detective suddenly drafted into an elite special forces unit known as the Fianna.

Handpicked by Ruairc O’Meallaigh, Ireland’s controversial Taoiseach with a vision of national strength, Padraig is pulled from his everyday life and thrust into a deadly war on terror—a battle that begins in the streets of Paris and soon lands at his front door.

As a ruthless extremist faction called The Will of God launches a campaign of chaos across Europe, Padraig must face impossible odds, covert missions, and the terrifying reality that his own family has become a target. Trained to fight in the shadows and forged in fire, Padraig will have to rely on his raw instincts, his past as a streetwise cop, and the ferocity of a man with nothing left to lose.

Perfect for fans of:

Men’s Adventure Fiction
Military Action Thrillers
Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, and Jack Carr
Speculative Political Fiction & Modern War Stories
If you’re not reading this, you’re not ready for war.

Hey friends,

We’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the people out there with amazing stories to tell but no clear way to get them published. Maybe you’ve got a finished book sitting on your desktop. Maybe you've just always wanted to write one. But the process feels confusing, expensive, or just out of reach.

So we’re trying something new.

We’re building a simple, honest publishing model for authors who have the heart and the story, but not the roadmap. No gatekeeping, no games, just real support from a team that knows how to get your book out there and make it look good doing it.

If that’s you, or someone you know, we’d love to talk. This is for the ones who want to make it happen but don’t know where to start.

Let’s tell some great stories together.
📬 Shoot us a message or check out the link in our bio.
