New Novel Coming Soon!

Happy Halloween, everyone! It is with delight, trepidation, incredulity, and gratitude that I announce the imminent release of my debut novel, The Portable Nine. It will arrive in January 2021, though the exact publication date is yet to be determined. Stay tuned for more news on that, as well as a cover reveal, when we're a little closer to the day.

For now, treat yourself to the book trailer for this novel of global intrigue and suspense (see below), and may it whet your appetite for a thrilling descent into lawlessness and retribution!

Here's what a few fine folks have already said about The Portable Nine:

“A compelling tale of vigilante hit men that’ll keep readers on the edge of their seats.”—Roy Lee, producer of IT, IT Chapter Two, Doctor Sleep, and The Stand

“A dark blend of Ocean’s Eleven and Mission Impossible, Mesling’s The Portable Nine pits a team of mismatched miscreants against a nefarious villain in an age-old tale of intrigue, betrayal, and revenge. With whip-sharp characterisation and a network of plotlines, Mesling proves his mettle in this cinematic thrillride.”—Lee Murray, three-time Bram Stoker Award nominee and author of Into the Mist

"Pete Mesling has gifted us with an intriguing cast of characters and a complex, fast-moving plot in The Portable Nine. This one gets off to a fast start, and never stops to catch its breath. (Borderlands Press Writers Boot Camp lightning strikes again!)"—Tom Monteleone, five-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award
