Welcome to the Danger Close Podcast, an ironclad original presented by Navy Federal Credit

Union.

Thank you to everyone who made my latest novel, Only the Dead, number one on the New York

Times bestseller list in hardcover, combined e-book and audio, sincerely appreciated.

My guest today, Annie Jacobson.

She is a Pulitzer Prize finalist, New York Times bestselling author of Area 51 Operation

Paperclip, the Pentagon's Brain Phenomena, Surprise Kill Vanish and First Platoon.

She also writes and produces television, including the Jack Ryan series and Clarice on CBS.

Now, without further ado, Annie Jacobson.

Annie, thank you so much for doing this.

This is awesome, and so I have all your books right here, and I know we are never going

to get through all the questions that I have for you.

We might not even make it through a page of all these.

That's just how it goes sometimes when I'm so interested in everything that someone

has done.

But what was really cool was like two years ago when I was on the East Coast and I was

writing and you direct message me and you're like, it looks like you are at and you knew

exactly where I was based on a picture that had almost no information in it except for

like a tree in the background in a bush over here and maybe the corner of a little bit

of the water.

And you knew exactly where I was.

I did, and then you know I'm trained well.
