Q&A’s With Author Ward Larsen

What new books are on the horizon?
For some years I’ve been writing my David Slaton/Tru Miller series. That will continue in 2027, but I recently paused the series to take advantage of two great opportunities. I’ve co-written New York Times bestselling Cold Zero with Brad Thor. I was also honored to be asked to write a book in the iconic Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan series. Rules of Engagement (May 2026) features Jack Ryan and John Clark facing a new and deadly threat. You can learn more about all these stories on the Books page.

Do your series books have to be read in order?
My series books, the David Slaton and Tru Miller stories, and my three-book Jammer Davis collection, are designed so that they can be read in any order. For readers who prefer to progress in chronological order, you can view the sequence on my Books page or reference the publication date.

Are any books being turned into movies?
Yes! Cold Zero has been optioned by Netflix as a feature-length film. Peter Berg (Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights) will produce, and Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective) will adapt the screenplay.  I will provide updates as they become available.

How can I get the latest news?
I issue a newsletter outlining all the recent news on my projects. You can sign up via the form below. This is also the best way to win free books in my giveaway programs. Addresses will always be kept confidential.

Do you have signing events?
I tour the country a few times each year on book tours and to attend conferences. Check my Events page or sign up for my newsletter to get the latest. I love meeting readers and welcome everyone to attend!
