CONROE, TX – Defiance Press & Publishing proudly announces the release of “Catherine, You Are Not Forgotten,” a riveting military thriller by John Rozich that combines expertly crafted tactical action with profound emotional depth.
Now available at major retailers nationwide and online, “Catherine, You Are Not Forgotten” invites readers into the dangerous world of special operations as an elite team led by the legendary Jacob Noah Roth embarks on a mission to eliminate Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ruthless leader of ISIS. At the center of this high-stakes narrative is Virginia Jean Mahoney, the first woman to join this exclusive brotherhood of warriors, who must navigate both battlefield dangers and institutional resistance.
“‘Catherine, You Are Not Forgotten’ represents military fiction at its absolute finest—authentic, action-packed, and deeply respectful of the warriors who defend our nation,” said Lisa Woodward, Director of Publishing at Defiance Press & Publishing. “What makes this novel so compelling is how John Rozich has created a female protagonist who earns her place through merit, skill, and unwavering courage, rather than through political correctness or lowered standards. Virginia Jean Mahoney embodies the best qualities of America’s special operators—regardless of gender—while facing challenges unique to her position as a trailblazer. At a time when much of entertainment media presents politically motivated narratives about women in combat roles, this novel offers something far more honest and respectful: a story where competence matters more than identity politics, where life-and-death decisions have real consequences, and where the bonds between warriors transcend all other considerations. Defiance Press is honored to publish a work that so powerfully honors America’s special operations community while delivering a page-turning reading experience.”
The novel follows Virginia’s journey as she proves herself to her teammates and confronts the moral complexities of modern warfare. When the team corners al-Baghdadi in a network of hidden tunnels, Virginia makes a split-second decision with historical implications that places her career and freedom at risk. As she later stands trial for her actions, a new threat emerges, bringing the battlefield to the very courtroom where her fate is to be decided, forcing those who once doubted her to recognize her extraordinary courage and capability.
With meticulous attention to tactical detail and a profound understanding of the psychological toll of combat, “Catherine, You Are Not Forgotten” offers more than just a military thriller. It’s a testament to the bonds forged in battle, the price of duty, and the enduring power of love and loyalty in the face of unimaginable challenges.
Readers of Chris Kyle, Jack Carr, and Marcus Luttrell will find themselves completely immersed in this unforgettable story of courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable human spirit.
