Rod Gregg is an author with a deep fascination for international geopolitics and the intricate world of special operations. Drawing on his extensive experience in local and federal law enforcement, extensive research into weaponry, tactical methods, and European geography, this is his first dive into the murky waters of high-octane thrillers that prioritize authenticity and grit. His writing is influenced by his appreciation for the rugged landscapes of Scotland and the sun-soaked coasts of Spain. Authors that have inspired him are Kyle Mills, Vince Flynn, Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney and Jack Carr. When he isn't detailing the next move of his protagonist, Icarus, Rod can be found (virtually) exploring the historic streets of Edinburgh or traveling through the Mediterranean. He believes that the best stories are found in the gray areas of morality where heroes and villains are often separated only by their mission. Icarus is his latest exploration into the high-stakes world of freelance justice.

Journey to the Sun

James 'Rock' Hardly is a shadow in the night, a former CIA assassin whose new mission is simple: Purge the Croatian underworld. Under the callsign Icarus, he systematically dismantles a criminal empire, guided by his mentor Daedalus from the misty Highlands of Scotland. From sun-drenched Italian villas to the rugged Balkan coastline, Icarus hunts the most ruthless mobsters, protected by elite Russian Spetsnaz mercenaries. But as the body count rises, the hunted become the hunters. The Croatian mob realizes they aren't facing a rival gang, but a singular, surgical ghost. They hire their own monsters to track him down, turning the hunter into the prey. When the communication between Icarus and Daedalus turns from 'warm' to 'burn,' the game changes. With his mentor’s life hanging in the balance and a lethal trap set in the heart of Croatia, Hardly must decide if his code of honor is worth the ultimate sacrifice. He’s flying dangerously close to the sun, and the descent will be costly. A gritty, pulse-pounding thriller for fans of authentic tactical action and high-stakes international intrigue.
