About this ebook

A former US government agent goes rogue in this nonstop thrill ride from an author who “is fearless in his storytelling” (Scott Sigler, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).

They should’ve let him go. They should’ve let him retire in peace. They should’ve left his woman out of it.

Kharzai Ghiassi has served the US Government his entire adult life. The best infiltration agent they’ve ever had. Death is not just his business, death is his life. He’s gone off the CIA’s radar and all they know is that someone is in danger.

When a former soccer star turned Islamic terrorist shows up in Anchorage, Alaska, retired Marine Corps Special Operator Marcus ‘Mojo’ Johnson and his State Trooper wife, Lonnie, team up with the FBI’s Mike and Hilde Farris to put a stop to the threat that hangs over the city like a hammer about to fall. No one is safe. No one can hide in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Ratings and reviews

action-adventure, spies, law-enforcement, Alaska, ex-marine, ex-military, extremists, family, friendship, suspense, survivor's guilt, thriller***** The thing about reading this author's books out of publication order is that I discovered more interesting things about each of the recurring characters. That's a good thing. Like all of Basil Sands' books, this one is an action thriller, fast paced and full of law enforcement and inactive Marines. Kharzai is the known CIA amongst the recurring characters and this book lets us know more about the anger that is always present beneath his facade. I know that I want to reread them in publication order after I pry them loose from a certain inactive Marine who liberated them from me. The audios are narrated by the author and while that is almost always a good thing, in this case it is even better because he is a professional narrator!

About the author

Basil does not just write stories, but has lived a lot of what they contain. The backdrop for his writing started with his birth in rural interior Alaska and his school years among the Ohio cornfields where he wished to be anywhere else as long as it was exciting. He has lived in Alaska, San Diego, DC, Baltimore, and Ohio. He tried a career in the Marines. After injuries sent him home early he worked at the NSA, owned a computer shop, was a carpenter, farmer, actor, lumberjack, voice actor, EMT, network admin, helpdesk supervisor, Boy Scout leader, IT trainer, radio talk host, youth minister, and a sergeant in the Alaska Defense Force Coastal Scouts.

Until a ski injury in 2008 he had been an avid weight lifter and could bench press 420 lbs. Now he’s limited to a bit on the elliptical machine each day and hefting his laptop and an occasional pint of Guinness.

He lives in Anchorage, Alaska with his wife and sons.
