Storm Rhino Press was founded in 2014 as a military adventure micro-press. Between 2014 and 2018, Storm Rhino published three books: Certain Fury, The North Atlantic Protocol and The Seine Vendetta (out of print). In 2025, Storm Rhino was acquired by Nick Wale as the action-thriller imprint of Dusty Saddle Publishing.
Storm Rhino is dedicated to publishing thriller fiction without compromise: pulse-pounding, fast-paced action-adventures, espionage and detective fiction that keeps you guessing as well as gritty, two-fisted crime novels that are well written with protagonists we can root for. While we welcome readers (and writers!) from across the spectrum, we focus on a readership that has been underserved by traditional publishing for two decades: men. We aim to produce books that celebrate grit, resilience, strength and determination. At Storm Rhino we are on a mission to re-center the heroic . . . and the anti-heroic.
We are actively seeking novels in the aforementioned genres in the 30,000 to 60,000 word range. We want page turning, action-driven adventures with breakneck pacing and compelling protagonists (think: James Bond, Mack Bolan, Matt Helm). The books should be crisis-driven, pulse with a sense of urgency and progress toward a shattering climax that will leave the reader breathless and wanting more.
