Description
After a botched mission in Albania, Paul Chavasse has been put out to grass. The Bureau figured their best agent was finished. But for Chavasse, it is far from over, as he seeks to rebuild his strength under the guidance of a martial arts master. And he is going to need every ounce of it.
In the Scottish Highlands, the Royal Artillery is testing a lethal new weapon. A Russian trawler fleet is nosing about in the Atlantic in entirely the wrong season. And a very rich Australian is using his financial power to put together an army.
Mission-ready or not, Paul Chavasse must prevent the governmentβs deadliest missile technology from falling into enemy hands. An enemy who is one of the most dangerous men in the world. But once upon a time, so was Paul Chavasse.
