Mark E. Henshaw Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

In this gripping debut thriller, two CIA outcasts must thwart a secret Chinese weapon that could ignite a world war. Rookie case officer Kyra Stryker returns to Langley after a failed mission in Venezuela, landing in the Red Cell, the CIA’s innovative think tank. There, she partners with Jonathan Burke, a maverick analyst known for his unconventional methods and accuracy, despite his strained relationships with colleagues. Following a failed raid on Chinese spies in Taiwan that results in a deadly chemical release, CIA director Kathy Cooke turns to the Red Cell for answers on China's aggressive stance towards the island nation. Their only lead is a top CIA asset in China, code-named Pioneer, who is under heavy surveillance. Stryker sees a chance for redemption through a perilous mission: to extract Pioneer before he is captured and executed. The information he possesses could determine the balance of peace in the Pacific or lead to war. Spanning CIA headquarters, the White House, a Navy carrier in the South China Sea, and Beijing's shadowy streets, the narrative unfolds as Stryker and Burke race against time to uncover the hidden threat posed by China's clandestine weapon. With expert insights into the intelligence community, the author crafts a thrilling and authentic tale.
