Perfect for you if...

  • You want espionage thrillers where the protagonist is bruised and doubting himself, not invincible.
  • You enjoy geopolitical intrigue grounded in real-world tensions rather than gadget-heavy fantasy.
  • You've read the first John Wells book and need to know what happens next.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone thrillers where you don't need backstory from previous books.
  • You're looking for action that's relentless from page one, because Wells spends time recovering mentally.
  • You want your spy heroes morally certain, not wrestling with whether they've compromised themselves.

About this book

John Wells, a deep cover CIA operative, returns for another mission after barely surviving his previous assignment, when concerns about his closeness to terrorist contacts nearly ended his career. Though physically recovered, his mental state remains uncertain. Wells is eager to return to active duty. A power struggle in China is destabilizing regions worldwide. As Wells engages in his typical operations, a mole within the CIA works to trigger a chain of events that could push the world toward open conflict. This time, Wells may be unable to prevent the consequences.
