The Paris Betrayal by James R. Hannibal

 

About the Book:

After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a devastating bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to find his perfectly ordered world has collapsed. A sniper attack. An ambush. A call for help that brings French SWAT forces down on his head. Ben is out. This is a severance--reserved for incompetents and traitors.

Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team. More than that, Ben must come to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward without him--and he struggles against the infection that is swiftly claiming territory within his own body.

My Review:

The summary of the book drew me in. At first when I started, it was hard to keep track of the characters and details. Once I got going, it was hard to put down...and then I hit a snag about 2/3 of the way through. It became very technical, and a lot of description went over my head. I stuck with it, however, and was not disappointed! This was a great story that could have been plucked out of today's headlines--scary stuff! The characters and plot were well-done. Would recommend!

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from Revell. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
