Ward Larsen takes the David Slaton saga to greater heights with Assassin’s Mark, boasting a grand conspiracy reaching the White House and a fast-paced action narrative that has Slaton questioning his orders and his future.
When the President of the United States is left in a coma after an audacious attempt on her life, the Vice President -and now acting president- aims to retaliate against the mysterious cabal known as The Trident. His ultimate weapon is David Slaton; a scalpel who has had previous encounters with The Trident and now holds the best chance to take the key members of the group out. What Slaton doesn’t bank on is another assassin working against him in accordance with a high-ranking member in the White House.
Larsen runs a tight ship with Assassin’s Mark as he expertly weaves a deeply engaging narrative together with explosive action and jaw-dropping uses of up-and-coming technology, putting a lot of hurdles for Slaton to overcome in his mission. Larsen elevates the quality of the action-packed storytelling with moral quandaries that give both Slaton and the readers pause as our assassin’s sniper reticle zeroes in on a target while the bells go off to warn that something isn’t what it seems to be.
It’s always a delight to read David Slaton’s latest adventure, because Ward Larsen always one-ups himself with dynamic situations and exciting new stories. Assassin’s Mark is an absolute beast of a thriller.
