Blackstone Publishing announced the launch of AWE, a new imprint formed with military thriller author duo Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson's Andrews & Wilson Entertainment operation. AWE plans to "showcase both established authors in the military thriller genre and emerging voices committed to telling stories focused on service and sacrifice, grit and perseverance, heroism, faith, and moral courage," per the publisher.
The inaugural AWE title, Andrews and Wilson’s The Adversary, which is the next novel in their Tier One series, will publish on November 4. The imprint plans to publish 12 books over the course of 2026 and 2027, Blackstone said, ramping up to 20 titles annually after that. The current slate includes work from Don Bentley, Joshua Hood, and Jack Stewart. New titles in Andrews and Wilson’s Sons of Valor and Shepherds series, as well as standalone titles from the pair, will also be published under the AWE banner.
“Working closely with the amazing team at Blackstone has been an incredible experience, and AWE will take that partnership to the next level,” said Andrews and Wilson, who serve as the imprint’s copublishers, in a joint statement. “With this team, AWE content is guaranteed not only to entertain and inform, but also to inspire.”
