I’ve read all the Gray Man novels and am excited waiting for the number 13. When can I expect it? I also am a fan of Mitch Rapp and Pike Logan series. Keep writing.
Will there be another Jack Ryan/Jack Ryan Jr./Campus Series book after True Faith and Allegiance? And if not, perhaps you might consider a way to wrap up or end the series.
I just finished book 10, Relentless. It was exciting as ever. But clearly there is another book company. When can we expect Book 11 to surface? It can’t end this way.
Is Mark. Going to write a sequel to Red Metal and is there another Grey Man novel on the way ?
Love all of your books, enjoy them all I hope you keep writing for many years
