Shock and Awe

By Michael Ryder

Catch a killer, save the world....


Lucy felt a jolt of shock - even horror - at the sight of Jack Ford, jerk extraordinaire, staring at her in surprise.


"You?" he said, anger flashing in his eyes.


Heat rushed to her cheeks. The humiliation - the betrayal - of their prior encounter came roaring back. Nausea surged through her.


Why had Special Exploits called them in?


What in the hell was going on?

On a billionaire's Mediterranean island, amidst a private gathering of the world's elite, a ruthless mastermind is selling a bio-weapon deadly enough to wipe out the human race.


Special Exploits agent Jack Ford and microbiologist Lucy Kimball, reluctant partners in a lethal game of catch-the-killer, must overcome their mutual loathing and learn to trust each other - if they hope to outplay a dangerous adversary whose bloody ambition knows no bounds....




Shock and Awe is an adrenaline-charged espionage thriller and a modern-day homage to classic spy adventure - packed with high-tech gadgets, propelled by desperate chases, and fueled by unlikely heroes battling unstoppable villains. Read at your peril....
