This week on TALK! with AUDREY : Joining me this week is New York Times best-selling author TED BELL to talk about his latest thriller WARLORD, the sixth in the spy adventure series featuring counter terrorist ALEX HAWKE.

In WARLORD, counterterrorist operative Alex Hawke is embroiled in an assassination plot against the Royal Family while hunting down a lost nuke in the mountains of Taliban and al-Qaeda infested Afghanistan.

Hawke has all but given up on life. He lost the woman he loved on his last mission, almost a year ago, and he’s been seeking refuge at the bottle of a rum bottle. But His Royal Highness Prince Charles, an old friend, calls on Hawke for help when Charles receives a threat against the lives of his two sons. The threat is signed with the same signature as a suspicious note found in an old book that once belonged to Charles’s godfather—Lord Mountbatten—the beloved family patriarch who was assassinated 30 years prior.

While investigating the death threat, Hawke is tasked to find a way to lock down Pakistan’s nuclear weapon storage facilities. A new terrorist group, “Sword of Allah” has plans to infiltrate and put sleepers inside the arsenal storage facilities at Islamabad. But when Hawke and his team arrive in Pakistan, they learn a nuke has already been stolen from one of the facilities and is in the hands of the most powerful terrorist warlords in the region.

Hawke and his team must race high into the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan to chase down the loose nuke before it finds its way out of the country and into the heart of America.

This week on TALK! with AUDREY :

I have a conversation with New York Timesbestselling author DOROTHEA BENTON FRANK about her newest book LOW COUNTRY SUMMER.

BENTON FRANK returns to South Carolina for her latest novel LOWCOUNTRY SUMMER, the much-anticipated sequel to her second novel Plantation.

LOWCOUNTRY SUMMER is the story of the changing anatomy of a family after the loss of its matriarch, sparkling with the inimitable Dot Frank’s warmth and humor. Benton Frank follows her recent successes with a tale rich in atmosphere and unforgettable scenes of Southern life.

When Caroline Wimbley Levine returned to Tall Pines Plantation, she never expected to make peace with the long-buried truths about herself and her family. The Queen of Tall Pins––her late mother Lavinia––was a force of nature, but now she is gone, leaving Caroline and the rest of the family uncertain of who will take her place. In the lush South Carolina countryside, old hurts, betrayals, and dark secrets surface, and a new generation will rise along the banks of the mighty Edisto River.
