James Byrne delivers another fantastically fun and enormously engaging Dez Limerick novel that has it all. Packed with suspense, intrigue, every shade of violence, diabolical villains, and a wise-cracking, dangerously formidable hero that could go toe to toe with the best in the thriller genre. Making Storm Warning one of the most entertaining and unputdownable thrillers of 2026.
A multinational scientific research facility in Canada has gone into lockdown and has no communications with the outside world. Fearing foul play, the US Department of State asks Dez Limerick to lend his skills as a gatekeeper to join the FBI HRT on a trip to the facility to help them gain access and ascertain what has happened. With one of Dez’s close friends trapped in the facility, he quickly agrees and sets off on a journey through harrowing storms, shadow organizations, murderous mercenaries and hidden enemies. Nothing he can’t handle though. It’s all in a day’s work for someone of Dez’s impressive skillset.
It's no secret that Dez Limerick ranks very high on my list of the best protagonists in the genre. And he absolutely brings the goods in Storm Warning. Opening doors, bashing heads and righting wrongs as only he can. But while he’s the star of the show, he’s not the only draw. Every character adds depth to a well-developed plot. There’s an unassuming assassin with a mysterious past, mercenaries with a mean streak, a State Department official who is as good at poker as she is at diplomacy, and a pair of devious and depraved corporate executives who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Throw them all together in the middle of a massive storm in a race against the clock and you get one hell of an explosive novel that overflows with action and viscousness.
