Description

Book 4 in the Sean Coleman Thriller series.

Months after a life-altering revelation drove Sean Coleman from his mountain hometown of Winston, Colorado, the longtime security guard has found stable work as the sole caretaker of a retired nuclear missile site along the Eastern Plains. The desolate Cold War era facility now serves as a rarely visited museum and records archive, and provides perhaps the perfect job for a lonesome, headstrong man working to erase the painful memories of his past.

But as Sean soon discovers, the forgotten compound has piqued new, unwelcome interest. A mysterious group of armed individuals, frighteningly cultish in their methods, work to cut off communications with the outside world and take over the facility by any means necessary. Though their dark purpose is ultimately exposed, Sean suspects their charismatic leader is guided by even more sinister motivations—motivations that can prove more deadly than anyone could possibly imagine.

What was supposed to be a lazy Monday evening turns into a savage battle of survival and a close-quarters race against time as Sean fights for his life, liberty, and the things he'd left behind.

Advance Praise

Praise for Safeguard

Safeguard is a fast, fun page-turner whose twists and turns kept me reading well into the night. John Daly delivers his mix of wry humor with pulse pounding action that keeps you guessing til the very end. An entertaining, engaging read. — Megyn Kelly, journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author

Praise for From a Dead Sleep

Some writers are thoughtful. Some have style. John Daly has both. When I read his work, it’s time well spent. — Bernard Goldberg, New York Times bestselling author of Bias

An epic thriller with a memorable, unorthodox main character . . . a riveting read . . . — Colorado Country Life Magazine

A fast-reading suspense book that surprised me so much, I had to finish it in one sitting. — Alice de Sturler of the American Investigative Society of Cold Cases

A thriller that packs a punch! This was a very exciting debut novel from John A. Daly. This novel packs a lot of jaw-dropping action into its well-structured narrative—a narrative that gives life to the myriad of characters that inhabit its pages and provides plenty of plot twists and turns to keep you glued to the pages. — Reading, Writing, and Riesling book blog

I loved this book. The suspense had me sitting on the edge of my seat . . . The author did a fabulous job with the setting details—I could picture every touch, smell, sight that the characters went through . . . — Yawatta Hosby, author of the novel One by One

From a Dead Sleep is a page-turner, an exciting, well-written thriller with a solid back story and more than enough plot twists to keep you guessing. — Marilyn Armstrong, Serendipity book blog

Praise for Blood Trade

“This book has so many twists, turns, misdirections and layers of plot that I even forgot to eat where I was so involved. The characters are larger than life and when you think you know them there is another surprise just around the corner.” — Best Selling Crime Thrillers 5 stars.

“Blood Trade is an awesome read that keeps you on your toes. You never know what is going to happen next and each new piece of the puzzle that is revealed is something you’d never expect. This is not one of those “guess who did it” thrillers. You honestly can’t do that. You’ll have the ah-ha moments when your realize who did something, but you’d never guess it was that person before-hand. John A. Daly is masterful at writing a good thriller and I can’t wait to read more thriller novels from him.” — The Goth Girl Reads John A. Daly 

“This is the first book I’ve read from John Daly, it is not the first in the series but I was not confused. This book could be read as a stand alone. The main character Sean Coleman is not your typical Hot guy that can’t do anything wrong. He has an alcoholic past, and the town where he lives doesn’t take him serious, and is just a joke to them. Thus making a Believable character with flaws, that is more real.” — Vanessa Visagie, Vanessa Reviews

“The second in a series that will certainly continue, this book is a darned good read. The status of hero is shared by a super cop now living in a small community and his hapless (formerly) alcoholic brother-in-law. The main characters are well developed and the storyline good. This reader was torn between who to cheer for (the ‘goodies’ or the ‘baddies’) on several occasions and in many respects, the plot is quite unique. An enjoyable read with characters that wouldn’t fit in with either the ‘gung ho’ or the ‘splendidly rich and beautiful’ crowd that usually populate American action stories and all the better for it! This is a stand alone book despite being the second in the series. My enjoyment wasn’t marred by not having read the first and I will certainly go back and read the predecessor.” — Mary Edgley, Goodreads

Praise for Broken Slate (finalist in the 2018 Colorado Book Awards and 2018 CIPA EVVY Awards - Thriller Category)


“John Daly has a magical writing style, and his books keep you up late at night turning pages. Sean, the protagonist, helps you see the world through his eyes in a total escape from daily life. You won’t want to put it down.” — Dana Perino, Former White House Press Secretary

“Crackling with gunfire and suspense, the opening pages of Broken Slate make clear that John A. Daly writes with assurance and style —and without fear or political correctness. This third installment in the Sean Coleman series brings us an engrossing thriller, centered around a deeply flawed but compelling character: an antihero for the post-9/11 age.” — James Rosen, Fox News chief Washington correspondent and author of The Strong Man and Cheney One On One

“What a great f***ing book. Seriously . . . Sean Coleman is the kind of character that pisses you off---he’s emotionally broken, often thoughtless, and sometimes a jerk. He’s also loyal, honorable, and anything but a super hero. In short, John Daly’s Sean Coleman is a lot like you and me.” — Terry Schappert, U.S. Army Special Forces, and host of Warriors, Shark Attack Survival Guide, Dude You’re Screwed!, and Hollywood Weapons: Fact or Fiction?

“High-octane indeed! A nonstop riproarer of a thriller with plenty of mystery, family drama, dysfunction, betrayal, and psychological issues to boot, Broken Slate is #3 in John A. Daly’s Sean Coleman Thriller series, a not-to-be-missed series that will really wake up a reader. So much adrenaline! Such convoluted past histories! So much to devour!” — Mallory A. Haws, The Haunted Reading Room
