Five of America's bestselling thriller writers will travel to the Persian Gulf for a week-long USO tour. As part of Operation Thriller, Steve Berry, David Morrell, Doug Preston, James Rollins and Andy Harp will visit U.S. troops to "talk fiction, inspire, spread cheer and, most importantly, show their heartfelt gratitude," according to organizers.
The authors were at the International Thriller Writers annual Thrillerfest in New York City last weekend for the announcement of the tour. Operation Thriller will begin with a visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval Medical Center in Washington, D.C., after which the authors fly to the Persian Gulf for stops at multiple posts where they will sign autographs, pose for photos and distribute advance copies of their upcoming novels. Due to security reasons, the specific countries and tour dates cannot be released at this time.

Ahhh, so if I pop down to the Persian Gulf, I can get my Agent Pendergast novels signed? :)
Sounds like a worthy mission for these authors!
