Assassin’s Mark has it all! An assassination attempt on the president. Assassin vs. Assassin. Traitors in our midst. Beatdowns, death and more. Ward Larsen treats readers to an action-packed buffet sure to leave the hungriest thriller fan completely satiated.
Marine One is taken down in a terrorist attack, leaving the president clinging to life. Tasked with finding the perpetrators and bringing them to justice, the CIA calls on David Slaton to be the point of the spear. As David investigates, travels the world and targets the individuals responsible, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a cunning assassin taking orders from an unknown source high up in the US government. Now Slaton must complete his mission of revenge for the presidential attack while also unmasking the traitor and upending a conspiracy that could reshape American politics for years to come.
David Slaton proves once again in Assassin’s Mark why he’s one of the most capable protagonists in the genre. He is beaten, bruised, shot and bloodied but never out of the fight. Using his intelligence and ingenuity combined with the intrinsic motivation to successfully complete the mission, he finds a way to adapt and overcome when the odds are stacked against him. And this time he’s really up against it with a battle of wit against an assassin of comparable skill and drive. But that’s what makes for a great story – witnessing two individuals who are world class professionals trying to beat the shit out of and kill each other. It’s a thing of beauty.
This tenth entry into the David Slaton Series is compelling, audacious and entertaining as all hell. It’s also well-written with multiple twists and turns navigated by excellent characters. None of which is a surprise. Ward Larsen is one hell of a novelist and a must read anytime he releases a new book. And trust me, you don’t want to miss this one.
