The Common Man (The Common Man Series)

By Jason N. Gardin

Trained mercenaries, terrorists, and spies have nothing on this run of the mill accountant. Gregory Heck is a man who doesn't like his job or the present life he leads. However, getting out of the rut he's chosen is a daunting proposition. The one love of his life, the Japanese martial art Aikido, keeps him sane as he practices daily. Wishing for a change as he's eating Chinese food at the restaurant he frequents, Greg's fate in life takes a wild turn. Running on instinct Greg decides to follow a suspicious man on the street. The man turns out to be a CIA agent, and Greg walks into an assassination attempt. After saving the CIA agent from five thugs on the street, the accountant is pulled into a life or death spy game. Running for his life and figuring out how to survive becomes Gregory Heck's only priority. He's hunted by terrorists who think he's with the CIA, but the CIA believes him to be a terrorist. Caught in the middle, Greg can only trust himself and the Aikido training that keeps him alive. A mysterious plot surrounds double crosses and explosive action sequences. The Common Man mixes detailed hand to hand combat with a suspenseful story line that will keep the reader wowed and turning pages. Imagine the movie Hero with Dustin Hoffman combined with Die Hard, but add a James Bond plot; this is what The Common Man promises: the unexpected hero, clenched-teeth action, a classic villain, and an eruptive ending. The Common Man is geared for adults of all ages. It's the story of everyone who's fed up with their destiny, and it's the promise of adventure and thrill for those who seek it.
