Note – this is a very short installment (around 70 pages). It provides a little backstory and concludes with a complete mission. There is plenty of carnage. There are loads of unanswered questions. As a reader – I’d wait to see what book 2 looks like. Is it another 70 page short? If so, then the price best reflect this. Meaning, if the model is to serialize the story – fine, but if it turns into five books that should be combined into one, then I have an issue. So – know that upfront. Now, on to the story. This is a fun, albeit typical, spy story with a near-bullet-proof protagonist (Alex Thorne). She has a past and is an independent contractor. However, a mission comes up and the payoff is worth getting back into bed with the agency that railroaded her out. Get across a border to find a prisoner and return. That’s the mission. How it turns out - that’s on you to read.
4 of 5 stars. From the Publisher:
Despite being an excellent spy, Alexandria Thorne was fired from British Intelligence following traitorous allegations against her deceased father. When her former employers ask for her help, she is angry and reluctant to give it. But there's an arms dealer missing in Belarus, and the man holding the key is also the last man to see Alex's parents alive.
Thrown into the middle of a civil war, Alex must handle a team of doubtful allies, dangerous enemies, and an eastern shadow from her past...
