Authors (left to right) Andy Harp, David Morrell, James Rollins, Douglas Preston and Steve Berry take time out from their week-long USO tour to take a quick photo November 9, 2010. Whether writing about Special Forces soldiers (Rollins), Special Agents (Preston) or German troops (Berry), becoming honorary lifetime members of the Association of Intelligence Officers (Morrell) or serving in the U.S. Marine Corp (Harp), each author is an avid supporter of America’s armed forces and a member of the International Thriller Writers (ITW).
