“Recruited picks up after The Division 2 in the timeline. Order is being restored to Washington, DC, but that doesn’t mean a return to normal is possible.” – Thomas Parrott
– Paul Semel
A newly recruited agent is the Strategic Homeland Division’s best hope to prevent a nefarious plot from ripping the agency apart, in this brand new post-apocalyptic thriller from Tom Clancy’s The Division
Maira Kanhai has had enough: since the Green Poison epidemic hit DC, her Cybersecurity degree is worthless, she can’t rejoin the US Navy, and her early efforts to secure Maryland led to a costly mistake: the death of her brother. Every day new factions emerge, trying to burn her city to the ground – until the Division emerges, inspiring hope. When a grenade kills one of their agents, Maira suddenly has a chance to make a real difference as a raw new Division recruit … if she can pass the tests, and overcome the enemies plotting to permanently eliminate the Division once and for all.
Set in a darkly dystopian London just a few years from now, the game and the prequel novel, Day Zero, reveal how the sinister forces vying to control the nation are opposed by a secretive band of hackers and activists known as DedSec. The novel follows one would-be hacker as he witnesses a savage murder and is then drawn ever deeper a conspiracy that threatens the entire city. Authentically steeped in London culture and crammed full with fast-paced action, the novel acts as a direct prequel to the events of Watch Dogs: Legion.
The latest instalment of the world-famous Assassin’s Creed® game line brings the focus to the Viking era. Discover the epic tale of Geirmund Hel-Hide, a man determined to prove his worth as a Viking and a warrior in Geirmund’s Saga. A perilous journey across the sea brings him into contact with a being out of myth and grants him a mysterious ring that promises both great power and bitter betrayal.

“Recruited picks up after The Division 2 in the timeline. Order is being restored to Washington, DC, but that doesn’t mean a return to normal is possible.” – Thomas Parrott
– Paul Semel
““Though the green poison has decimated the population there are still 33 million Americans who need food, water, shelter, heat and a way to pass the time.” 33 million, I said to myself. The population of the United States in 2015 (when the book is set) was 320 million. That means 287 million dead. Think of 10 people you know. 9 of them are dead. That’s a catastrophe beyond reckoning. It makes the Black Plague look like it wasn’t even trying.”
– Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
“I hope they have a page-turning read where they want to get to the bottom of the outbreak and they become ‘involved’ in the characters and their lives and want to spend more time with them. Most importantly, I hope they come away with a deeper respect for those on the front lines, who face danger every day in order to keep the rest of us safe.”
– Amanda Bridgeman
“Parrott’s work on this novel absolutely hooked me in. Sure, there’s a certain amount of familiarity in setting that drove some of it, but the detail he went into when describing scenes I could picture in my head so clearly that I struggled to put it down. I found myself hanging onto every word.”
– NGN
“Would I recommend this book? Definitely. Not just to those who read post-apocalyptic books, but anyone wanting a brilliant action packed story. I gave Tom Clancy’s The Division: Recruited, by Thomas Parrott, five stars.”
– John’s Bookshelf
“The story is fast paced and as the plot moves along we get to understand what motivates Maira as well as uncovering more of her past. Details about the shadowy Division and the agents they employ begin to emerge, are they the good guys they at first appeared? In order to find out you’ll need to read it.”
– Books and Bakes
“Fans of the game will likely be thrilled to see the continuation of that story.”
– Game Industry
“Peppered between the action and tension there are moments where we see the weakness and ‘human’ side of the elite agents. Most definitely a must read for fans of The Division games but also could easily be a stepping stone into the universe and games or to someone who just enjoys a good post-apocalyptic read.”
– What You Tolkien About
“Tom Clancy’s The Division: Recruited is a novel that operates on multiple levels thanks to the talent and skills of author Thomas Parrott. On one level, Recruited is a fast-paced, action-packed and utterly captivating thriller that perfectly matches the atmosphere generated by its source material – a flawless adaptation of The Division. But on another, far deeper and more complex level, it’s also a haunting, often deeply uncomfortable look at a world devastated by a pandemic.”
– Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
“Recruited is a fast-paced, action-packed and utterly captivating thriller that perfectly matches the atmosphere generated by its source material – a flawless adaptation of The Division.”
– Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
“Parrott has an instinctual way for descriptions and characterizations that meshes really well with setting… an assured, confident and action-packed debut.”
