Ulterior Motive
No Stone Left Unturned follows Stone and his companions as they search for a missing child across North and Central America. What inspired the story’s setup, and how did that help you create the ending?
More and more, we have heard of human trafficking globally, quite often, children being abducted. With my cast of protectors, the question would be, “What would you go through to get your child back?” Politics seem to get in the way of immediate actions, especially when the theatre is international in scope, so many agencies get involved (I left a dedication to these heroes). So, at the end of the book, when the Secretary of State gets shot by an armed assailant, our antagonist makes a call for Raines and the team to get involved to protect the President. Is there an ulterior motive?
What inspired the relationship that developed between the characters?
Raines, the oldest of the team, comes across as the big brother, leader, or father figure. He has dealt with all members of the team in different ways. Cameron is his equal in fighting, Michael is his son and accomplished in his own right, and Sara is a solid female component to the team, for which Raines shows much respect. He is also sensitive to the fact that she and Cameron have a child together and misses the family bond. Serina, a new member, compliments Sara.
Where do you see your characters after the book ends?
Ahhhh, with an overwhelmingly positive response to this third installment, they will all continue in book 4, The Ghost and Stone. It picks up where this book leaves off.
What is the next book you’re working on, and when can your fans expect it?
The Ghost and Stone will be out late next Spring and feature plenty of action.

The characters’ emotional journeys take center stage amid the high-octane martial arts action and suspense. As the pressure intensifies, their vulnerabilities and insecurities come to the forefront, testing their resolve and pushing some to confront their pasts. The relationships between team members deepen as they rely on each other’s strengths and support to navigate the treacherous path ahead. The tension rises with each revelation as the story hurtles toward its climax.
No Stone Left Unturned (A Cameron Stone Action Thriller Book 3)
No Stone Left Unturned by Thomas Lebrun brings back Cameron Stone and his formidable team for another pulse-pounding, martial arts-packed adventure. This time, the stakes are higher than ever as Stone and his companions, scattered across North and Central America, search for a missing child at the center of this relentless, action-filled tale. Following the momentum of the first two installments, Stone and Raines continue their mission as protectors of the vulnerable, using their almost legendary combat skills to take down those who prey on the helpless. Alongside them, Sara—Stone’s love interest and an integral part of their past exploits—faces challenges that push her to her breaking point. Together, the trio must confront their pasts and trust in the powerful bond that has always united them if they hope to survive.
Lebrun excels at throwing his readers into dizzying, chaotic scenes where the action comes fast and hard. The frequent martial arts showdowns feel almost cinematic, with a level of bombast that, while not subtle, hits its mark for lovers of adrenaline-fueled narratives. While some readers may find the constant barrage of combat reminiscent of a Transformers film, there’s no doubt that those seeking globe-trotting, bone-crunching action will walk away fully satisfied. The plot, as wild and intense as the first two books, weaves together revolutionaries, political intrigue, and shadowy geopolitics. But unlike the earlier novels, Lebrun shows a more restrained side during the quieter moments, giving the characters room to breathe. For the first time, we see a deeper exploration of the backgrounds and motivations of Stone, Raines, and Sara, lending much-needed emotional depth to the story. This character development enhances the impact of the brutal fight scenes, adding a layer of gravitas that was sometimes missing in earlier books. What makes No Stone Left Unturned so enjoyable is its unapologetic embrace of what it sets out to be—a fast-paced, action-driven novel with characters readers have come to care about. It caters directly to its audience, delivering exactly what fans of the genre crave: thrilling combat, intense stakes, and a story that never lets up.
In the end, No Stone Left Unturned is a satisfying conclusion to the Cameron Stone trilogy. For those who love relentless action and hard-hitting fights, Lebrun’s latest work is sure to deliver everything you’re looking for and more.
