The spellbinding mock history of the Department of Agriculture's most secretive and vital agency. The little-known USDA Agency of Invasive Species—founded by President and humble peanut farmer Jimmy Carter—would like to reassure you that they rank among the most effective and cost-efficient offices within the sprawling federal bureaucracy. For decades, under Administrative Director Adam Humphrey and his “strategic disengagement” approach, the Agency has epitomized vigilance against the clear and present danger of noxious weeds. Humphrey’s record of triumphant inertia faces only two obstacles. The first is reality; the second is the loud critic who dares to question the magic behind the Agency’s success: Nicholas Bader. Formerly known as President Reagan’s “bloody right hand,” Bader is on an obsessive quest to trim the fat from the federal budget. Full of oddball characters who shed light on the daily operations of Beltway minions, The Weed Agency showcasesa world in which federal budgets balloon every year, where a career can be built upon the skill of rationalizing astronomical expenses, and where the word "accountability" sends roars of laughter through DC office buildings. That’s life inside the federal Agency of Invasive Species… and it may sound suspiciously similar to your reality.

Today, most young men seem infected by a widespread Peter Pan syndrome. Unwilling to give up the freedom to sleep late, play video games, dress like a slob, and play the field, today’s men wallow in an extended adolescence, ostensibly unaware that they’re setting themselves up for a depressing, lonely existence. In this hilarious ode to male adulthood, Jim Geraghty and Cam Edwardstwo happily married, 40-year-old menhave a simple message for their younger peers: Grow up!

“A thoroughly researched thriller with a threat vector I wish I’d come up with—and a bite of humor rarely seen in the genre.” —Brad Taylor, author of Daughter of War and the New York Times -bestselling Pike Logan series, retired U.S. Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel “Jim Geraghty is one of the most insightful and cutting writers in the country. In his new book, he brings that biting sensibility to a globe-trotting thriller. The results are explosive!” – Ben Shapiro, author, The Right Side of History and founder of The Daily Wire “Powerful, real, and relevant, Jim Geraghty's Between Two Scorpions is a well-written and dynamite page turner and a welcome addition to the thriller genre.” –Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Mission Critical The new face of terror is staring at you in the mirror. A long dormant CIA asset emerges from hiding to request a meeting with his former handler, the beautiful, enigmatic intelligence operative Katrina Leonidivna. She’s skeptical that the source, a shady arms dealer, is on the level. But when Katrina barely escapes with her life after an explosion rips through the café where they met, she’s forced to take his tip seriously. Alongside her husband, Alec Flanagan, and a rogue crew of covert agents from every corner of the intelligence community, Katrina races around the globe to uncover the truth. What this dangerous clique of operatives discover is a plot that could rip America apart from the inside. A plot that pits neighbors against one another and turns everyone into a potential threat. A plot that could make anyone take up arms against their own country. A plot that Katrina, Alec, and the rest of their crew have to stop before it’s too late. But when everyone is a suspect, no one is safe and the entire nation is under suspicion. Hot on the trail of a terror cell capable of turning anyone—and everyone—into a deranged killer, only this dangerous clique of spies has a chance to stop the terrorists from weaponizing America’s greatest asset—freedom. 
 Between Two Scorpions is a thrilling race against time that introduces an unforgettable cast of characters in the first volume of the Dangerous Clique Series. 
 “A fun and quirky international thriller. Geraghty sets a fast-paced story against a recognizable backdrop of societal division and cultural ruthlessness. A compelling read.” – John A. Daly, author of the Sean Coleman Thriller series “The action explodes in the first chapter and keeps coming, but the mayhem and madness is leavened by Jim’s trademark wicked humor and clever pop culture references that would make Dennis Miller beam with pride. It’s makes for a terrific ride, with a trippy ending that will leave you eager for a sequel. Just one more thing – if you are afraid of snakes, be careful…” – Kurt Schlichter, author of Wildfire and Indian Country

The coronavirus pandemic is over, but it inspired a sinister plot. 
As a bruised, wary world tries to return to something resembling normal, the CIA’s Katrina Leonidivna and her Dangerous Clique team are in hot pursuit of a rogue Iranian spy with ties to the now-mostly-forgotten Atarsa terrorist group. But that spy reveals a terrifying new threat: someone calling himself Hell-Summoner has approached Tehran – and other rogue regimes – offering to sell them a deadly virus that would make the first pandemic look tame and plunge a world already on the brink into total chaos. 
Katrina, Alec, and the rest of the team learn, to their horror, that the technology to engineer a virus targeting a particular gene is very real and, if used, could launch a cataclysmic new era of biological warfare. The hunt to find Hell-Summoner is on, at a breakneck pace. As they race around the world trying to avert disaster, the Clique must square off against numerous enemies: ruthless Russian mercenaries, cutthroat Serbian war criminals, cruel animal smugglers, and every other extremist who would want to turn a virus into an unstoppable, invisible, and unnervingly precise weapon of war. 
For the Dangerous Clique, the stakes have never been higher – the barn door is wide open, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse are already riding. This mission is to win or die trying and every breath they take may be their last. HUNTING FOUR HORSEMEN is the next volume in the action-packed Dangerous Clique Series that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. 
Praise for Hunting Four Horsemen 
“Geraghty has hit another homerun! Hunting Four Horsemen is an absolutely electrifying thriller. Fantastic plot, pacing, and characters. Bravo!” – Brad Thor, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Near Dark 
"Jim Geraghty is one of the most fiendishly clever novelists out there—and he proves it again in this breakneck thriller. Read it now." – Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" editor-in-chief of DailyWire.com, and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Right Side Of History 
"Is there anything Jim Geraghty can’t write? First, there's the Morning Jolt newsletter. Then there's his hilarious satirical novel, The Weed Agency. Then there's his podcasts, and somewhere in the middle of all this, he writes maybe the hardest, gutsiest—you'll see why when you read it—speculative fiction to write and that is a near-future, a semi-post-COVID thriller, which simultaneously reads our times perfectly and gives us a glimpse into what we hope isn't coming. Now, stop reading my blurb and read the book. Now, before the future takes you by surprise.” – Flint Dille, screenwriter and game designer, known for Transformers, G.I. Joe, Ingress 
"Geraghty has portrayed a post-pandemic world with unparalleled authenticity and research that rivals the best thriller writers in the business. He foreshadows the next possible pandemic with a thriller of a tale injected with facts, science, and knowledge that only a writer like Geraghty could make equally entertaining and incredibly informative. A must-read for those who want to know what comes next." – Matt Betley, critically acclaimed author of Overwatch and the Logan West series 
“You might say Hunting Four Horsemen is ‘ripped from the headlines,’ which is true but trite. What you get in this sequel to Between Two Scorpions are the trademark Jim Geraghty detail and hip cultural references dropped into the tensest scenes, along with an eerie vision of our not-too-distant-future profoundly changed by the pandemic. Sure, it’s a fun read, but it’s also an unsettlingly plausible one.” – Kurt Schlichter, Townhall columnist and author of People’s Republic and Collapse
