Explore the Depths of Military Fiction: Meet Tom Clancy's Successors at Nauticus on May 21

Nauticus, a maritime discovery center in Norfolk, VA, will host an EdTalk featuring bestselling authors Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson on May 21st. This event is timed with the release of their new Tom Clancy novel, 'Act of Defiance.' It is free and open to the public from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, but registration is required due to limited seating.

The discussion will be moderated by Tom Clancy’s editor, Tom Colgan, and will feature insights from Commander Dennis Guy, the Executive Officer of the USS Washington. Andrews and Wilson, who are both Navy veterans, will discuss the process of writing a submarine thriller in the Clancy universe. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Clancy's 'The Hunt for the Red October.'

The authors will also talk about the impact of military fiction on active-duty sailors and veterans, and how their military backgrounds have influenced their writing careers. They will continue discussing the legacy of the Jack Ryan series, which remains popular ten years after Clancy’s death.

The event includes a Q&A session and a book signing, with books available for purchase. This offers a chance for attendees to interact with the authors and learn more about their latest book.
