The Moscow Vector: An Action-Packed Black Ops Espionage Thriller

By Thad Cross

The world thinks they are dead. That makes them the most dangerous people on the planet.

Burned by their own government and branded as international terrorists, former black-ops operative Drew Marshall and his elite Ghost Unit have nowhere left to run. Hiding in the frozen, diesel-choked hold of a Russian trawler, they cross the border into the heart of enemy territory. Their target: General Arthur Volkov, a ruthless FSB oligarch operating out of St. Petersburg. Volkov holds the key to "The Cold Ledger"-the definitive proof of a corrupt CIA Director's sprawling global conspiracy.

But stealing the data from the impenetrable vault of Vostok Capital is only the beginning. The ledger reveals a far more terrifying threat: Project Chimera, a devastating algorithm built by a Silicon Valley tech billionaire, designed to invisibly hijack the American electoral grid.

Hunted across the globe by heavily armed CIA contractor squads and a phantom, nerve-gas-wielding assassin known only as The Wraith, Marshall and his battered team must race from the icy streets of Russia to the high-tech fortress of the Aether campus in California. With a shattered rib, a ticking clock, and no backup, Marshall is about to show the architects of this new world order what happens when you push a ghost too far.

The Moscow Vector is Book 10 in The Third Option series-a relentlessly paced, high-stakes espionage thriller perfect for fans of Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan, and Jack Reacher.
