THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE RIVETING NEW THRILLER SERIES BY FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER

"David Rivers is back with a vengeance in the Shadow Strike series, and the stakes have never been higher—or more personal." —Steven Konkoly, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Ryan Decker Series

When a terrorist attack leaves more questions than answers, David Rivers and his team are sent to uncover the mastermind.

After the largest terrorist attack in US history is narrowly foiled, the sole enemy survivor has only one name to provide his interrogators: Ghulam Samedi.

But Samedi is a fugitive in the rugged mountains of China’s Xinjiang Province, where opium smugglers, a violent separatist movement, and secret police make every mile of ground fraught with danger.

As part of the CIA’s newly-minted targeted killing program, Rivers and his team of Agency contractors are tasked with assassinating Samedi. Once they are inside China, there will be no backup, no air support, no escape—only a handful of local assets with dubious motivations.

Rivers’ team of former mercenaries was assembled for these kinds of covert operations: they are unilateral, unattributable, and if things go wrong, utterly expendable.

As they embark on their most challenging mission yet, they will stop at nothing to hunt down Samedi…the last target standing between them and a sinister conspiracy with global implications.

Now, she’s become one of them.

Blair Morgan’s world is in shambles.

After being used as a scapegoat by a corrupt former boss, she is unceremoniously fired from the FBI. Now, with her reputation, pride, and years of service stripped away, Blair just wants to start over.

But when a chance date turns into a mysterious job offer, her past comes crashing back to haunt her.

In a flash, Blair becomes entangled in a high stakes bank heist. Her status as a former FBI-agent-turned-hostage transforms her into an instant media sensation. And the unwanted attention makes her a target for ruthless killers that will stop at nothing to silence her.

Caught in the crosshairs, Blair must confront her past before she loses her freedom—or her life.

But there is something strange about this team of bank robbers. They aren’t who they seem. And as a deadly SWAT raid closes in, Blair discovers that she may not be either...

Blair Morgan has embraced her second career—as an elite thief.

Her heist crew has set their sights on their latest target: the Sierra Diamond, an 872-carat stone worth $27.3 million. It will be encased in a new vault known as the Sky Safe, a revolutionary strong room built into the side of a Los Angeles high rise.

The FBI says the Sky Safe is impenetrable. Naturally, Blair and her crew think otherwise…and if they succeed, it will be the greatest heist ever pulled.

But Blair’s corrupt former boss at the FBI has other plans. He knows Blair will be coming for the diamond and intends to catch her in the act…along with her entire team.

As a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse unfolds over the streets of downtown LA, Blair must go head-to-head against the most cunning adversary from her past—or see herself and her crew imprisoned forever.

From the city streets of the US to the war-torn deserts of Africa. From the snow-capped mountains of Asia to the narco-controlled jungles of South America, forces have been fighting for control of the ultimate criminal empire.

When an act of violence plunges the contenders into a final confrontation, David Rivers is sent in. He’s the first operative of a mercenary army.

Parachuting into Russia to link up with a mysterious intelligence agent, he must find a way to strike the heart of a ruthless criminal alliance.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. If David doesn’t succeed, he won’t just lose his life—he’ll lose everyone he cares about, too.

Because when this war is over, either one organization will stand…or none of them will.
