These Things We Do: A Nathan Calloway Thriller

Pararescuemen don't drown.

When Ryan Matthews turns up dead at the bottom of Cochiti Lake, the official report says accident. But Ryan was one of the best combat swimmers Nate Calloway ever served beside, and the water where they found him is nowhere a man like that would ever swim. Nate came home from Afghanistan carrying too many ghosts already. He isn't willing to let his friend become one more.

What Ryan died protecting is worse than anything Nate expected. During the chaos of the withdrawal, a defense contractor quietly rewrote the evacuation lists, trading Afghan allies who'd been promised a way out for cargo, data, and profit. Ryan documented all of it. So the company had him killed, and he isn't the only whistleblower to die in a convenient accident.

Now the same people are watching Nate's ex-wife and his teenage daughter, betting a grieving veteran will get the message and walk away.

They've misjudged the man. Nate has the training to take this all the way to the top. The only question left is whether he'll settle for revenge, or hold out for something harder: the truth, on the record, where everyone can see it.

These Things We Do is the first book in the Nathan Calloway vigilante series: the origin of a soldier who came home, lost a brother, and found a new war worth fighting, for the people the powerful would rather forget.
