Perfect for you if...

You love spy thrillers with real stakes and non-stop action that don't let up for 400 pages.
You want the morally grey protagonist who's hunted by the very agency that now needs him most.
You're after that Bourne-meets-Rapp energy: globe-trotting, pulse-pounding, and impossible to put down.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character studies over plot momentum or quiet, introspective prose.
You need romance or emotional depth woven through the narrative as a counterbalance to the action.
You're sceptical of the premise that one man can outsmart every intelligence agency on Earth.

About this book

Jason Drake is a disgraced former CIA operative and assassin who is wanted by authorities. When a weapon equivalent to a small nuclear bomb goes missing and no intelligence agency can locate it, CIA Station Chief Kate Price recruits Drake as the only person she trusts to help stop a potential world war. Everyone who has gotten close to the truth has been killed, and Drake has no allies within the Agency. Drake embarks on a globe-trotting mission involving intrigue, action, and betrayal as he pursues the weapon. The story explores themes of trust broken and enemies made from former allies. This is the first book in the Jason Drake Thrillers series, a work of espionage fiction designed to appeal to readers of CIA thriller narratives.
