Tactical 16 Signs P.B. Landon for
“Safe Hittin’ Chance Britton”

In the second book of P.B. Landon’s series, Chance Britton can see the pitches coming—but even clairvoyance can’t save him from heartbreak, chaos, and the mess of everyday life.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of P.B Landon for Safe Hittin’ Chance Britton. Landon’s second book in his four-book series blends romantic comedy, science fiction, and heist-style hijinks into a story about ambition, love, and survival. Landon’s new novel  includes characters from his first book, Just Only Slightly, but is a standalone story. Both books can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s book buying website:  https://t16books.com/

Safe Hittin' Chance Britton by author P.B. Landon. Tactical 16 Publishing specializing in veterans publishing, military publishing, veterans books and military books.“Chance Britton is a minor league baseball player with major league problems when fate suddenly throws him a curveball: clairvoyance,” said Landon, who served in the U.S. Navy and has been a day trader, merchant mariner, locksmith and writer. “Each book in this series explores what happens when an ordinary person is handed an extraordinary ability. He can see what’s coming, but like most of us, he still must figure out what to do with it.”

Broke, overworked, and barely holding his relationships together, Chance’s luck changes when he discovers he’s clairvoyant—suddenly able to see pitches coming, balls landing, and truths he might rather avoid. As his success on the field takes off, everything else unravels, dragging him through dugouts, dive bars, bad decisions, and unexpected connections with misfits, frenemies, bikers, dreamers, and a few other “exceptionals” like him.

P. B. Landon author of Just only Slightly. Tactical 16 Publishing. Veteran Publishing & Military Publishing.“This book is an epic ride for readers that love the underdog,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “The lead character is granted a supernatural gift and is way out of his league with his life in general. Can he win the girl and turn his life around? Chance is a lovable character that you want to see win big!”

Landon lives in New Jersey and greatly enjoys telling stories about everyday occurrences that put his audience at the scene.

Tactical 16 Signs Angus Peacock for “SISU: A Series of Epic Adventures

SISU is for anyone pushed to the edge by conflict—and determined to keep moving forward

Colorado Springs, Colo. – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of Angus Peacock for SISU:  A Series of Epic Adventures. SISU, a gripping modern adventure, focuses on transforming personal trauma into a relentless journey of courage and survival against overwhelming odds. Peacock’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s book buying website:  https://t16books.com/.

Tactical 16 Publishing specializes in Veteran Publishing and Military Publishing.SISU is a contemporary account of perpetual conflict that speaks to real human challenges and how to face the unknown head on and with integrity,” said Peacock, a life coach and mentor who served in the Royal Navy, is fluent in English, French, and Chinese, and has worked and traveled throughout Europe, China, and North America. “This story lifts readers from the flimsy normal existence into a world of high drama, suspense and love as the main character navigates countries across the globe where the rule of law is opaque and geopolitical ideologies differ.”

Angus Peacock author of SISU, A Series of Epic Adventures. Tactical 16 Publishing specializes in Veteran Publishing and Military Publishing.Peacock’s story is rooted in the Finnish concept of Sisu—a unique mindset embodying extraordinary determination, grit, courage, and resilience, especially when facing overwhelming odds. The tale follows a young man shaped by violence, corruption, and social dysfunction, yet unwilling to be broken by them. Raised amid the fallout of murder and institutional failure in “Dark London,” the protagonist becomes collateral damage in a world ruled by corrupted police, organized crime, and repression.

Forced to flee, the main character chooses to define his own destiny rather than surrender to victimhood. His escape ignites a perilous journey across Europe and Asia, traveling by train and on foot through the French Alps, Moscow, Beijing, Mongolia, and beyond. Along the way, he survives blizzards, gunfire, snatch squads, wild dogs, as well as criminals closer to home.

“Angus’ story is about refusing to be broken, no matter how difficult the circumstances,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “This book was born from the belief that Sisu is not just surviving but catching a second wind that will propel you forward when everything else is gone.”
