What Readers Are Saying

Reads like a summer blockbuster. I finished it in one sitting and immediately went looking for the next book. Tate knows how to build tension that doesn't let go.

If you're a fan of Vince Flynn or Brad Thor, you need to read this series. MacKay is a character who feels completely real — flawed, driven, and impossible not to root for.

The Arctic setting is absolutely brutal in the best possible way. Tate puts you right in the cold. Beyond All Measure is the kind of thriller that reminds you why you love the genre.

The Author

Thom Tate

I didn't set out to write spy thrillers. I set out to ask a question — why hasn't anyone written a thriller around this weapon? — and the answer launched a career.

My books are built on real technology, real geopolitics, and the kind of tension that only comes from the world as it actually is. Fast-moving. Unpredictable. Dangerous. Perfect for a story.

If you're a fan of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, or Daniel Silva, Blake MacKay was written for you. Welcome to the Covert World.
