A Black Hawk rescue. A captured terrorist. This mission wasn’t supposed to be his last.
An action-packed and utterly gripping military thriller—perfect for fans of Mark Greaney’s The Gray Man, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, and David Morrell’s First Blood.
In the Kurdish region of Iraq, Captain Barrett Johnson plays the long game—both at the poker table and on the battlefield. A soldier, a gambler, and a man ruled by precision, he knows when to bluff and when to strike. But when a routine night of cards is interrupted by a mission gone sideways, Barrett is thrust back into the kind of chaos he swore he’d leave behind.
A Black Hawk rescue mission turns deadly as his team faces relentless enemy fire, forcing Barrett to rely on instinct, training, and the vices that keep his mind sharp. But survival is just the beginning. When a high-value terrorist is taken alive, Barrett is tasked with breaking her—and she’s not the kind to break easily.
As the hours tick down and the lines between duty and obsession blur, Barrett is forced to confront the truth: some battles are fought in the open, but the most dangerous ones happen in the dark corners of the mind.
Blending high-stakes combat, espionage, and psychological warfare, Bloody Habits delivers a relentless, immersive experience where every move is a gamble, and survival is never guaranteed.
