Binary Agent
Edmundo Solis writes an obscure blog consisting mostly of the fodder of conspiracy nuts and wild rants about the atrocities of Sergio Zamora, the dictator of Solis’ native Nicaragua. When the self-described patriot and freedom fighter unwittingly stumbles onto a legitimate clandestine operation, he winds up in the crosshairs of the despotic ruler. Furthermore, Solis’ infatuation with White House Press Secretary Maggie Loughlin makes her a target as well.
Josh Morgan, a former CIA Officer and Secretary Loughlin’s ex-fiancé, sets out to find Maggie. But as Morgan peels back the layers of what appeared to only be a kidnapping, he uncovers a multinational plot of potentially catastrophic consequences for the United States.
Determining the target, timing, and method of attack by foreign and domestic terrorists unites the full resources of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement organizations. But in the end, it is the relentless determination of one man that brings the scope of the operation to light. And in his chase, Josh Morgan comes face to face with the most critical situation he has ever encountered – one that could bring down the United States in one crippling blow and alter the geopolitical landscape forever.
With a cast of familiar characters, Binary Agent is a fast-paced, powerful thriller in which one apparent resolution after another of the conspiracy only unleashes a grimmer element, each one bringing exponentially more disastrous possibilities.

About the author
Rod Johnson
5 booksRod Johnson has two passions in life – his family and writing. After years in the Financial Services industry, Rod retired to devote his time to both.
Among the author’s influences are great novelists in the thriller genre such as Clancy, Ludlum, le Carré, and others. Nelson DeMille’s Charm School is an all-time favorite novel and he admires Brad Meltzer for the breadth of his work across multiple genres and media.
Rod’s dad was the first of his family to move away from the family farm to live and work in a city (population 8,000). However, with extended family remaining on farms and ranches, the writer “grew up country” and this upbringing is evident in some of his characters. In particular, Rod captures the sense of roaming free as a youngster in rural Texas in his novella, The Calendar.
Spy thrillers are Rod’s primary focus. His debut work, Half of Faith, is the first in the series of Josh Morgan Novels that carry the protagonist’s name. The sequel is scheduled for an early summer release.
The writer’s faith-based and inspirational articles have been published in national magazines.
Rod still spends much of his non-writing time in the outdoors. He loves flyfishing and photography and his family spends as much time as possible on their thirty-seven-foot sailboat, No Regrets.
If you enjoy plots with a myriad of moving parts, lived out in characters with compelling blends of virtues and flaws and complex personalities that struggle to balance their better selves with their hypocrisies, you’ll love Rod’s work.
The author still resides in a small North Texas town with his wife and daughter.
