The Breacher’s Playbook: A Deklan Novak Novel
“This is a tale of good versus evil,” said Pomerantz and Hruby. “Our main character, Deklan, fought his demons in the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL breacher, also known as an explosive expert, on the stadium grass of the Big Ten football fields as a linebacker, and now in Chicago as a special agent for the FBI’s Violent Crimes Against Children squad.”
The mystery thriller lays the groundwork for what the authors describe as a recurring character who is hard, fast, and mean as a razor wire. Deklan’s life path is one of determination and sacrifice in the face of defeat. That grit will be what he leans on in his new role as a tough FBI agent tasked with unraveling the disappearance of two children from a daycare center owned by his mother in this first installment.
“The Breacher’s Playbook showcases a modern warrior’s real-life experiences,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “Tom and James’ story shows that not all battles are in war zones, and not all war zones are sanctioned by governments.
This debut narrative, the first in a planned three-book series, is a fictional account based on Hruby’s real-life story.

A Riveting Must-Read! “The Breacher’s Playbook” by James Pomerantz and Tom Hruby is absolutely fantastic! The story pulls you in from the very first page with its thrilling blend of action, mystery, and deeply human moments. Deklan Novak, the protagonist, is a brilliantly crafted character—tough, determined, raw, and relatable. The plot keeps you on edge, weaving intense FBI investigations with emotional stakes that hit hard. Pomerantz’s writing, Hruby’s real-life experiences as a Navy Seal Northwestern football player, and his investment into bettering his life and those around him are a beautiful match of the vivid writing, and the authenticity of the scenes make this book stand out as a masterful thriller. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for the next installment! Highly recommended!
