Intercept - Series Debut-Reimagined 2023
"This one is awesome because it actually came true. " -- Seven years after publications, Iran's real nuclear guru was assassinated.
Three forces converge on Vienna. Two want Iran's nuclear mastermind dead. Blake MacKay needs him alive. When Mossad sends his former lover—an elite sniper with orders to kill Blake if he interferes—the mission becomes personal.
Introducing Alice: Blake's tech genius, supplying gadgets that would make Q jealous.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“A masterclass in modern espionage fiction. Thom Tate’s Intercept combines razor-sharp pacing, authentic intelligence detail, and emotionally complex characters. A must-read for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Edge-of-your-seat thriller with real depth
What impressed me most about "Intercept" was how it balanced high-octane action with genuine geopolitical intrigue. The plot involving Fallahi and the nuclear program felt ripped from today's headlines. Tate doesn't just give you explosions and gunfights (though there are plenty of both!)—he gives you characters you actually care about. Solomon Zinn is a fantastic addition to the spy thriller genre. The moral complexity of her and Blake's relationship added layers I wasn't expecting. This is smart, sophisticated thriller writing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Action-packed with unexpected heart
I picked this up expecting a standard shoot-em-up thriller, but got so much more. Yes, the action is incredible (that train fight!), but I was genuinely invested in Blake and Solomon's complicated relationship. The romantic tension added real stakes to their cat-and-mouse game. The ending hit hard—Blake's final confrontation with Alzahabi was brutal and satisfying. This is the kind of book that keeps you up past midnight because you HAVE to know what happens next. Can't wait for more from this author!

Deep in Siberia, Blake infiltrates Nikoli Petrovich's compound in a race against an environmental apocalypse.
Outstanding!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Great read. Grabbed my attention from the start and didn't let go. The author expertly weaved the plot, deviations, and twists and turns into a story you won't put down until your done. Action packed and realistic (with of course the stuff you know can't happen but make a great story). "

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Couldn't put it down"
" What a thriller! I had not previously read any of the Blake MacKay novels, but after this one, I plan on correcting that. "Beyond All Measure" is set in the Arctic, an area that fascinates me and in which I spent a fair amount of time during my military service. I haven't been this enamored with a novel since the early John Grisham books (I'm a lawyer, so I was naturally drawn to those as well). After I started reading this one, I actually took my Kindle to work for a few days so I could read on breaks, something I have never done before. Thom Tate has a way of drawing you in and holding you there! I highly recommend this book."
