"Punk's Force is a high-octane, brutally authentic look at the future of naval warfare, where hypersonic threats, cutting-edge tech, and human betrayal collide. Fast, sharp, and unflinchingly real, this one hits like a missile."—Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Sky Mourning
 

In the electrifying fourth novel of the Punk Series, Adm. “Punk” Reichert must prove that the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), can survive a hypersonic missile attack. Punk assembles a formidable team of former squadmates and brilliant engineers to deploy a cutting-edge, directed-energy weapon, leveraging the latest in machine-learning technology for battlefield supremacy. Yet, as he battles bureaucratic obstacles and personal crises—including his wife’s cancer diagnosis—he soon realizes that something far more sinister is afoot. A ruthless tech magnate with a vendetta, a traitor in Punk’s ranks, and an elaborate scheme to dismantle traditional sea power all threaten the very future of naval warfare. Will Punk’s crew rise to the occasion and secure their legacy, or be lost to the tides of technology?
