Everest Survivor & Navy Veteran Brian Dickinson Launches Military Thriller "Bloodline of Redemption" Amid Rising Global Tensions

SEATTLE, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brian Dickinson, a U.S. Navy veteran and the only person to solo descend Mount Everest blind, is releasing his first military thriller, Bloodline of Redemption, on September 17, 2025.

Known for his bestselling memoir Blind Descent and the acclaimed Calm in the Chaos, Dickinson now delivers a high-stakes novel that blends real-world naval operations with a deeply personal survival story.

Set against the backdrop of escalating U.S.–Russia tensions, Bloodline of Redemption follows a rogue Russian submarine on a covert nuclear mission aimed at the Pacific Northwest. When Russian operatives target an American aircrew on U.S. soil, Brody Hayes—a Navy special operations veteran and mountaineer—must fight to protect his daughter amid the deadly wilderness of the Cascades.

Early praise has been strong. Jack Carr, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Cry Havoc, says: "Few thrillers carry this much grit and authenticity. Dickinson writes with the authority of someone who has stared down impossible odds, and it shows in every chapter. Bloodline of Redemption is a bold, uncompromising story of loyalty, betrayal, and the fight to endure."

Military experts have also noted the novel's realism, praising its blend of submarine warfare, espionage, and mountaineering detail. 

"With the state of today's world, this story feels closer to reality than fiction," Dickinson said. "I drew on my Navy rescue swimmer training and my Everest survival to make every page authentic. Readers will feel the weight of duty, sacrifice, and faith in the midst of impossible odds."
