Hurwitz’s next novel, The Survivor, is being released this summer.

Nice work Greg! You’re going to crush it! Well done!
Have worked with Greg before. He’s super talented and has a tireless drive and work ethic. Most refreshing though is that in a town of crazy people, he’s just a really great guy.
Say what you will about this project but Expulsion was without doubt the most BONKERS spec script I have ever read.
Within the first ten pages or so the ENTIRE planet explodes and all that survives is the US President’s bunker which hurtles through space.
Yeah, you read that right.
Way to go Gregg….you know I love your books…..can’t wait for this! Congrats to you……don’t let Hollyweird change you
It’s been a long time since the “Men of Mystery” days. Miss seeing you there. Still love your books and Tim Rackley. Still like Minutes to Burn. Keep writing….Sue Ross
The Rackley novels were terrific, some of the A stock thrillers I’ve read and recomended and I’m glad they’re coming to the screen. And I agree, don’t let hollywood sell you short. While acting is key, a good script can make a bad actor look great but even a great actor can’t save a lousy script!! Best of Luck!!
Fantastic news! Can’t wait to see this new project. Among my absolute favorite books. Wonderful to hear Gregg. Hope you get a chance to rest occasionally.
In order for Gregg Hurwitz to obtain the ideas and plots (for his books ,comics and scripts) he has been committing real-life criminal acts with the group of guys he uses as his research consultants (and whom he considers to be his good buddies) that are united states navy seals, secret service agents and dhs employees ect..! Gregg Hurwitz’s extensive hands on research ,that he often brags about, consists of picking out a innocent person with good morals and values to victimize by systematically harassing them through out their day, to deliberately make their life a living nightmare …then illeagaly surveillance them ,so ,they can get a true observation of what a real live crime victim experiences and how they choose to deal with it.
This supplies gregg andrew hurwitz with all the research ,entertainment and hands on experience that he needs to sit down and write something that is ,both, realistic and believable to his readers when they read it. (and there is more to this ..his buddies also get to perform research and development experiments for their own (self owne) start up companies named North Vector Inc. (in Menlo park,Ca) and Tactical Securiy Network (in Sparks,Nevada)(and now Hovers near Los Altos,Ca.)
This sounds so exciting, I loved the Tim Rackley books so I’m really looking forward to the TV series. I just hope you don’t get too busy that you stop writing your books. I soooooo look forward to them! Good luck to you!
