About the book:
After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a devastating
bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to find his perfectly
ordered world has collapsed. A sniper attack. An ambush. A call for help
that brings French SWAT forces down on his head. Ben is out. This is a
severance--reserved for incompetents and traitors.
Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team. More than that, Ben must come to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward without him--and he struggles against the infection that is swiftly claiming territory within his own body.
Award-winning author James R. Hannibal rachets up the tension on every page of this suspenseful new thriller.

My review:
This was a non-stop action ride with plenty of intrigue and twists! Everyone's suspect and you're not sure who to trust. Ben's a strong character, determined to stop an attack even after he's essentially kicked off of his team and while his physical health is deteriorating, all while trying to protect a woman and her dog. He had a strong sense of loyalty and right and wrong. I really liked Clara, the woman who ended up tagging along with Ben. She was tough and ended up being pretty clever. There's not much about faith, just a short conversation about everyone having done wrong and no one's hands are clean. I really liked the spy advice Ben remembers throughout like a little instruction manual for what he needs to do next. I would recommend this book if you like spy or action novels.
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
