Order Intrigue Is My Assignment today! https://a.co/d/09nnhjCT Swashbuckling September is here, and we’re kicking it off with a deep dive into Intrigue Is My Assignment, the latest Nate Colt adventure. In this episode, we talk high-spy adventure, classic men’s adventure fiction, and what happens when you combine the sophistication of ’60s espionage with the pacing and action of modern thrillers. Nate Colt is in Italy running guns for the Mafia when a double-dealing subordinate leads him into the crosshairs of a dangerous third party… and a beautiful CIA contractor with a mission of her own. What follows is a story of guns, deception, attraction, loyalty, and some very bad decisions. We also get into Nate Colt’s evolution as a character, the challenge of writing a hero who is highly capable without making him invincible, and the deeper questions underneath the action: identity, love, expectations, loyalty, and what it means to become a better man. Along the way, in keeping with the season, we talk about the lost art of the swashbuckler, the appeal of series characters, classic spy films and television, and why there’s such a hunger for adventure fiction right now. Intrigue Is My Assignment is out now and it may just be the best Nate Colt adventure yet. Welcome to Swashbuckling September.
