Gray Target: A Luke Ryder Novel

By J. Benedict

Luke Ryder was home in Idaho.

At his mountain house. Quiet mornings. Snow on the ridgeline. Elena beside him. For the first time in months, life felt steady.

Then the call comes.

An MI6 safehouse in Edinburgh has been hit-hard. Coordinated shooters. Professional tradecraft. One target: Natalie.

She survives. Barely.

Now Luke and his Aegis team are pulled back into the shadows, tasked with protecting a woman marked for assassination by a ruthless Russian network. The enemy isn't just hunting her.

They're hunting through her.

What follows is a relentless game of counter-surveillance, sniper overwatch, and urban gunfights as Luke shifts from precision operator to full-time shield-determined that no one under his protection dies.

But this time, the battlefield isn't a distant front line.

It's personal.

A fast-paced military thriller packed with special operations action, black ops intrigue, CIA and MI6 espionage, and high-stakes close protection.
