The Jack Carr Book Club December 2025 Selection is THE TIN MEN by Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille.

In THE TIN MEN, New York Times bestselling author Alex DeMille joins his father, the legendary Nelson DeMille, to deliver the final Nelson DeMille novel—delivering a high-stakes, cutting-edge thriller that drops readers into the future of warfare—where the lines between soldier, machine, and judgment begin to blur.

At a top-secret Army facility deep in the Mojave Desert, Army CID Special Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor are sent to investigate the shocking murder of Major Roger Ames, the chief scientist behind experimental war games involving platoons of Army Rangers and fleets of lethal autonomous weapons. What begins as a single suspicious death quickly spirals into a deadly maze of hidden agendas, isolation-driven paranoia, and next-generation military technology operating without clear limits.

Cut off by desert heat, secrecy, and an increasingly unstable command structure, Brodie and Taylor must navigate a world where everyone is a suspect—and where AI, robotics, and human ambition collide in ways that may change warfare forever.

Alex DeMille is a novelist and filmmaker whose work has been recognized at festivals worldwide. His previous novels THE DESERTER and BLOOD LINES , cowritten with Nelson DeMille, were instant New York Times bestsellers. A graduate of Yale (BA) and UCLA (MFA Film Directing), he lives in Brooklyn with his family.

This episode explores the inspiration behind THE TIN MEN, the research into modern and emerging military technologies, the father-son collaboration that shaped the novel, and the moral dilemmas at the heart of a world where machines can kill—but can’t be held accountable.
