Left for Dead: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Special Operative Eric Steele battles a renegade group of bioterrorists armed with a devastating virus in the fourth pulse-pounding military thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Outlaw Platoon.
On a remote mountaintop in western China, Doctor Ai Liang is about to risk everything and defy the Chinese Communist Party. She and her team have created an extraordinary and terrifying new virus, even more deadly than COVID-19, one capable of killing someone in minutes. But her conscience tells her she must destroy the bioweapon before it can bring devastation to millions. And at the very minute she is about to explain her change of heart, she and her team are interrupted by a swarm of violent commandos who attack the lab, kill everyone in sight, and take off with the Gantu-62 virus.
Meanwhile, Eric Steele is on a cleanup mission, about to exact revenge on the group responsible for killing numerous Alphas and forcing the Program to disband. When justice is served, Steele can turn his thoughts to other pressing matters—namely, his long-lost father and his estranged girlfriend, Meg Harden.
But when news of CCP plans to attack U.S. forces reaches the United States, the president calls for the revival of the Program to counter this new threat. Steele is back in action, and he soon learns that the potential CCP move is related to a much more complex plot involving a fanatical Chinese imperialist group—and the stolen Gantu-62 bioweapon. It's up to Steele and his team to find out who is really behind the threat and to stop them before they can unleash the unprecedented strike that could ignite another world war.

"Combat veteran Parnell expertly balances tense, believable action with poignant quiet moments. This superior entry will gratify series fans and ensnare new readers." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Left for Dead
"Written in Parnell's effective muscular prose... the book sets a swift pace from the get-go, and the pace doesn't let up until the rousing finale. Parnell creates real, compassionate characters and puts them into a well-developed story, and the Eric Steele series deserves all the recognition it has received." — Booklist on Left for Dead
"In the climax, Steele and Kalidi square off in an exciting, bloody exchange around Washington's National Cathedral... Parnell delivers loads of branded military hardware... and juggernaut plotting. The ending suggests big changes ahead for Steele and the Program. Military action fans will be well satisfied." — Publishers Weekly on One True Patriot
"Man of War is a breakneck-speed thriller with enough action and combat to satisfy any reader. Eric Steele is a one-man army, and Sean Parnell uses his background in tactics and weapons to bust into the ranks of the best thriller writers out there." — C.J. Box
"Fast, hard, and effortlessly authentic—both lead character Eric Steele and author Sean Parnell are the real deal." — Lee Child on Man of War
"Man of War is a blockbuster that rages with high-speed thrills and suspense on every page. It has an authentic feel that can only come from someone who truly knows combat. And the intense action, the far-flung settings, and the well-drawn inside-dope on covert operations, all add to create a knockout fiction debut by an author who has arrived on the thriller scene with a roar." — Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Minute Out
"A completely gripping story." — Clive Cussler on Man of War
"Falling somewhere between Brad Thor's Scot Harvath and Brad Taylor's Pike Logan, Eric Steele is a formidable new protagonist whom readers will love... If you like conspiracies and bold, larger-than-life characters, Man of War hits fast, hard, and never lets up for a second." — CrimeReads.com
"[A] high-octane thriller... Relevant, relentless, and filled with the kind of authenticity you can only get from someone whose been there and done it, Sean Parnell's One True Patriot is a blistering, action-packed thriller that's perfect for fans of Mark Greaney and Jack Carr." — TheRealBookSpy.com
"Two of the most intense tales of courage under fire I own are Black Hawk Down and Lone Survivor. I now have a third, Outlaw Platoon. It's an absolutely gripping, edge-of-your-seat ride." — Brad Thor, bestselling author of Near Dark
"Outlaw Platoon is expertly told by a man who braved the heat of battle time and time again. An epic story as exacting as it is suspenseful, it reveals the bravery and dedication of our armed service men and women around the world." — Clive Cussler
"At times, I forgot I was reading about a war as I was drawn up in the drama the same way you [are] when reading Krakauer's Into Thin Air . . . This is a book of probing honesty, wrenching drama and courage." — Doug Stanton, author of Horse Soldiers
"Outlaw Platoon put me back on the battlefield again. It's a heartfelt story that shows how very different people can be thrown together in combat and find a way to make it work. Parnell and the soldiers who fought beside him are...

Starred review from July 19, 2021
In bestseller Parnell’s explosive fourth Eric Steele novel (after 2020’s One True Patriot), Ai Liang, the director of a secret Chinese biological warfare laboratory, has developed a coronavirus variant, Gantu-62, that can kill a person within minutes. Stricken by conscience, Liang plans to destroy the Gantu-62 stock, but before she can do so, the Swords of Qing, a dissident paramilitary group aiming to overthrow the Chinese government, attack the facility. Liang barely escapes with her life, and the deadly viral weapon falls into the hands of the group’s mad leader, who considers himself the hereditary rightful emperor of China. Meanwhile, special operative Eric Steele, who has returned from an unapproved mission in Russia to avenge a comrade’s death, is surprised to find himself not clapped in irons but tasked with reviving the Program, a disbanded special operations unit, to counter a Chinese government plot to attack the U.S. The mission winds up with his confronting the Swords of Qing. Combat veteran Parnell expertly balances tense, believable action with poignant quiet moments. This superior entry will gratify series fans and ensnare new readers. Agent: Dan Conaway, Writers House.

Eric Steele is a top-flight operative for a top-secret U.S. government intelligence agency. In the fourth book in the series (following One True Patriot, 2020), Steele is called back into action to investigate reports of an impending Chinese attack on the United States. Soon he discovers that this is no ordinary terrorist plot: at the center is a new, man-made coronavirus, code-named C-62, a bioweapon so powerful that it can kill a person in only minutes. Can Steele and his team find the fanatics behind the threat and neutralize them before they unleash a global pandemic? Written in Parnell's effective muscular prose, with loving attention given to the names and attributes of the various pieces of weaponry and technology in the story, the book sets a swift pace from the get-go, and the pace doesn't let up until the rousing finale. Parnell creates real, compassionate characters and puts them into a well-developed story, and the Eric Steele series deserves all the recognition it has received. Readers of military thrillers should be encouraged to check it out.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
