In his first podcast ever, Jack du Brul joins me and cohost Charles Hack to talk his latest entry into the Clive Cussler Isaac Bell series, IRON STORM. In an also impressive feat, Jack has no website or social media accounts, so this is truly a FIRST interview!

Jack is a bestselling author of several books in the Clive Cussler Oregon Files series, as well as his own Philip Mercer series, now on his fifth entry in the Isaac Bell series.

IRON STORM takes place during World War 1, where Bell and his compatriots find themselves in an old castle fending off their enemies.

In this episode we talk to Jack about his writing style, his time working with Clive Cussler, why he decided to flip the series completely on it's head, and more.Jack also shares a funny story about how Clive once told him to change a story, left his own office to take a nap, and left Jack to figure it out!
