About this listen

Attorney Craig Malcault’s special problem is a blessing in disguise: Colleagues in the intelligence community at times do not trust the mental faculties of the rogue, former special operations agent. He could have been Craig’s favorite client. The international spy rings with their own agendas need his expertise. Ara Pacis,’ the failed state’s notorious, covert leadership is preparing for another power grab, but now the complete destruction of Ara Pacis by any means is the spy rings’ ultimate goal.

If the failed state survives, its secrets will test the sanity of mankind, and the agent has the key to that experiment.

Craig knows the agent wants a new life, but is he ready to take on the risk? The case will bring Craig one step closer to solving the mystery of Ara Pacis' sinister world where the extrajudicial killing of unarmed non-combatants can be the norm. As much the classified, covert leadership has promised Craig. Noblesse oblige when the law and morals don’t.

The Series Just Keeps Getting Better!

I’ve been hooked on this series since the first book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The storyline picks up right where the last one left off, and was completely drawn into the world again. The characters continue to grow, and the action is intense. Honestly, I couldn’t put it down. What I love most is how ithe author deepens the plot without losing any of the excitement. It’s rare to find a series that stays this strong. I’m really looking forward to seeing where the story goes next. If you’ve enjoyed the previous books, you’ll love this one as well!

Couldn't stop listening!

Just wrapped up this wild rollercoaster ride through a dark and twisty world of spies and moral gray areas. Craig Malcault has been dragged into a real-life game of chess but with higher stakes and a lot more intrigue. It blew my mind how the book tackles deep ethical questions, what do you do when the line between right and wrong gets blurred? I found myself not just listening but actively pondering my own views on justice and loyalty.

The narration brought the intensity to life, making every plot twist feel like a punch in the gut. If you’re looking for an audiobook that’s more than just a story—one that makes you think while keeping you on the edge of your seat—this is it. I’m absolutely eager to see what comes next in this captivating series!

A Thrilling Dive into Espionage & Morality

This book had me hooked from the start! As someone who loves spy thrillers, I really appreciated the complex layers of intrigue and moral questions. Following Craig through the twists of international conspiracies and shadowy power plays was an intense ride. The tension between doing what's necessary and what's right kept me turning pages. It's more than just action - it makes you think about the cost of secrets and the grey areas of justice. It was a great listen - I would recommend it!

SO INTERESTING!!

In this intense thriller, Craig Malcault, a tenacious human rights lawyer, finds himself tangled in a high-stakes game of espionage. The narrative revolves around his precarious alliance with a rogue ex-special operations agent, whose unstable mind is both a blessing and a curse. As Ara Pacis, a failed state with a notorious secretive leadership, gears up for a new power play, Craig is drawn into a perilous mission to uncover and potentially dismantle the state’s dark secrets. The stakes are alarmingly high: if Ara Pacis survives, its hidden horrors could challenge the very fabric of human sanity.
Craig must navigate a murky world where traditional values and legal boundaries are often overridden by the brutal realities of covert warfare. His journey forces him to confront the blurred lines between morality and duty in a landscape where survival often comes at a steep price.
This gripping thriller isn't just highly recommended; it's an absolute must for anyone who dares to delve into a world where every choice could be a matter of life or death!

The plot is gripping, with international spy rings and covert operations keeping the tension high throughout. The ethical dilemmas Craig faces add depth to the story. The author's ability to blend legal drama with high-stakes espionage is impressive, making this audiobook a compelling listen from start to finish. Can't wait to explore more from this series!
