Description

A paramilitary operative confronting his grief on a path of retribution. A CIA analyst hunting a conspiracy that leads to the Oval Office. A Russian agent hiding in plain sight. Jason Matthews’s Red Sparrow meets Jack Carr’s The Terminal List in Beyond Honor, a debut political thriller that plunges readers into a world of international espionage, where loyalty and duty are tested.

A man forged by war, paramilitary operative Kevin Rhoads is recruited for a solo extraction mission deep inside Siberia. CIA analyst Whitney Skyler’s investigation into a Russian-backed bank on American soil leads to the President of the United States.

Director Cynthia King plays an audacious gambit, leveraging a thirty-year debt of honor to save a captured American agent. But in this world of shifting alliances, even the most careful plans can unravel. Skyler faces an impossible choice: expose her mentor’s dangerous game to protect national security or reveal the truth to Rhoads. Already shattered by loss, Rhoads discovers the devastating betrayal that will transform him into a force of vengeance, leaving death in his wake.

From the war-torn streets of Damascus to the merciless Siberian tundra, from the rugged Kenai Peninsula to the polished corridors of Langley, Virginia, Beyond Honor is a white-knuckled thriller about duty, betrayal, and the impossible choices made by those who serve in the shadows.

This was unexpected. WOW. WHAT A DEBUT.

Thank you to Atria, Emily Bestler Books, K. B. Brodsky for the release through NetGalley.

I didn't know what I was getting into when I pulled down this instant offering from NetGalley, but knowing Emily Bestler's name was attached gave me some hope. Am I glad I gave this a read!

This is a mix of spy/espionage and special operations action thriller, pitting America vs Russia in the shadow world of political manipulation. I will say that the 3 plotlines at the beginning seemed so far apart that I did not know how they were going to come together. Don't get me wrong, they were all interesting and probably could have been their own average story, but the way they spun and weaved the lines together make it one of best books out there.

You feel the tension, the anguish, the sorrow that the characters feel. The way the emotion of the loss and funeral scenes was written hits every fiber in you being. The action is up there with Carr and Greaney.

This book hit every mark. I am super excited to follow these two for their future novels and the return of Rhoads and Skyler.

Standing ovation Karen and Bill! 5 stars!!
