Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Grant Blackwood introduces Briggs Tanner in a trilogy that Clive Cussler raves is “Pure fun, pure adventure.”
One Man.
Covert agent Briggs Tanner doesn’t like coincidences. In his business, they always mean trouble. So when a man is professionally assassinated right in front of him, Tanner wants answers.
One Mission.
Who pulled the trigger and why? And what is the mystery behind the key the man clutched in his dying hand—the key that Tanner now possesses?
One War Without End.
His search will lead him on an international trail, city to city, from the depths of the Pacific Ocean to the bullet-ridden back alleys of Beirut, all the way to a deadly secret—buried since the end of World War II—that only Tanner can keep from falling into the wrong hands.

Fans of stories with elements of suspense, action, and thrilling cliffhangers will enjoy this series. Briggs Tanner is a former Navy SEAL, now working as a covert agent. While he is on vacation in Japan a man is killed right next to him. Tanner may be on vacation, but his instincts aren't, and they tell him it isn't a simple crime. The more he digs, the more complicated it becomes. And others from his agency as well as the CIA, the Mossad, and Russia's FIS are finding disturbing oddities around the world. What could a Japanese industrialist, extremists in Beirut, a World War II sub, an Israeli cruise ship, a blackmail scheme in D.C., and war games in Syria and Iran all have in common? If they don't figure it out, there could be catastrophic results.
Briggs is a likable character. He has the flexibility to be tough when it's needed, but can also be open enough to form lasting friendships, fall in love, and be pen pals with a Peruvian teen. The political agendas and in-fighting during the scenes in Washington seem true to life, while the covert actions and surveillance operations could be right out of a James Bond film. Readers who enjoy books like the Tom Clancy novels will feel right at home with Briggs and his comrades.
One word of explanation - this book was first released in 2001 and the technology that is used reflects that time. For instance, characters are still using 3.5" floppies in their computers, and must rely on analysts to do database searches rather then just pulling up Google and doing a search on their phones. There is also quite a bit of using pay phones to make calls harder to trace, rather than using burner phones as is common today. All of this fits in with the setting of the book, but readers will have to remind themselves that they are in effect reading historical fiction due to the rapid pace of technology innovation.
