Former CIA agent Max Geller lives a quiet life spending is time on an Australian beach when his leisurely time is interrupted by a former agency colleague wanting him back on a secret mission. The colleague bid to press the ex-spy back was soon thwarted by a group of Russian’s security services ... then watch out, the beach turned into a fight....Strong- armed by his former Boss Geller gets back into action and sets out for Russia, a hostile place where he is a wanted man from his previous mission and his head is still on the chopping block. When the high-octane pursuit across Russian starts....we are in for a thrilling ride.
This is a fast-paced story filled with never ending action. It starts at the beach and moves rapidly in a narrative that holds the attention from the very beginning. His mission doesn’t go as planned but the many twists and turns that come his ways give us excitement and expectation....whom to trust and whom not to.... Geller faces this dilemma multiple times and along with him we also do. The characters are interesting some are not whom they appear to be and some are too transparent. But aren’t we smack into the world of espionage were deceiving is the buzz word. Mr. Scott transmits this with aplomb.
Thorough, two chases are underway: one is Geller chasing his target and the other is the Russians state security desperately wanting the catch him. The action takes us Russia, Finland, Germany, Cyprus and ends in a very creative way in DC. You will love how this develops.
This is a classic espionage book with all the bells and whistles. Well-done, well-said.
