David Shaw #2
The Defection Protocol
The sequel to the veteran acclaimed thriller, SABER DOWN!
"An outstanding read! No one will make you love the heroes and hate the villains as much as Harrison Kone. He accurately sheds light on the immorality that decays our society, bringing to the forefront our duty to be better." - John Lovell, Bestselling author of The Warrior Poet Way, Founder of the Warrior Poet Society
On the run for an assassination they call justice, David Shaw and Natalie Hale can never serve their nation as they once did. A Marine Corps general is dead, and the couple sturggle to find peace with their new life in exile.
But as with all warfighters, there can never be peace...
In Africa, Connor Roark tries to salvage what's left of his CIA career and dispose of loose ends who might bring his black-market operations to light. He aggressively plots revenge against those who not only destroyed his lucrative business but also left him wounded in the Virginia wilderness. Embarking on a personal vendetta against those who took everything from him, Roark suspects Natalie holds the evidence that will incriminate him in deaths of the Marines she and Shaw avenged.
From the Caribbean to the Congo, from Tunisia to Washington, D.C., David Shaw and Natalie Hale must call upon new friends and old to justify their lethal past and end Roark's deadly hunt.
As the stakes rise, only one option presents itself...Defection.
