D.A. Dawson returns to military intrigue with Exigent Measures

The narrative follows Chain and his Quick Action Response Team as they transition from the corridors of Washington, D.C. to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan. Dawson, a U.S. Army veteran, utilizes his background to ground the fiction in authentic military tactics, ranging from drone-led surveillance to the complexities of armored convoy security. The plot unfolds as a web of corruption, linking domestic traitors to international drug cartels and global financiers.

This release marks the second installment in the Jubal Chain series, following the award-winning 2024 debut, Best When Served Cold. Dawson has already mapped out the future of the franchise, with two sequels completed and a fifth, titled Iranian Uranium, currently in development. The author aims to blend contemporary national security concerns with high-stakes espionage, noting that the series is designed as a continuous, interconnected saga.
