Retired operative Paul Janson is called back to the spy game to settle a personal debt he owes. Peter Novak, the legendary Hungarian immigrant and head of the Liberty Foundation, has been kidnapped and faces execution at the hands of terrorist extremists. It is up to Janson to rescue Novak before he is murdered.
Janson immediately puts together a top team and manages the nearly impossible task of extricating Novak, but something goes horribly wrong - something that indicates the operation had been compromised from the start - and only Janson himself survives. Now the major intelligence services think that Janson was responsible for Novak's death and are sending their finest operatives after him...

Paperback. Condition: Good. Standard. Outline:- One of the world`s greatest men has been kidnapped. Nobel laureate international financier and philanthropist Peter Novak - a billionaire who has committed his life and fortune to fostering democracy around the world through his Liberty Foundation - has been captured by the forces led by the near-mythical terrorist known as The Caliph. Holding Novak in a near impenetrable fortress The Caliph has refused to negotiate for his release planning instead to brutally execute Novak in a matter of days. Running out of time and hope Novak`s people turn to a man with a long history of defeating impossible odds: Paul Janson. For decades Janson was an operative and assassin whose skills and exploits made him a legend in the notorious U.S. covert agency Consular Operatations. No longer able to live with the brutality bloodshed and personal loss that marked his career Janson has retired from the field and nothing could lure him back. Nothing except Peter Novak a man who once saved Janson`s life when everyone else was powerless to help. With the considerable resources of The Liberty Foundation at his disposal Janson hastily assembles a crack extraction team setting in motion an ingenious rescue operation. But the operation goes horribly wrong and Janson is marked for death the target of a "beyond salvage" order issued from the highest level of the government. Now he is running for his life pursued by Jessica Kincaid a young agent of astonishing ability who - as a student of Janson`s own lethal arsenal of tactics and techniques - can anticipate and counter his every move. To survive Janson must outrace a conspiracy that has gone beyond the control of its originators. To win he must counter it with a conspiracy of his own. With mere days perhaps only hours remaining and shadowed by a secret that links Janson`s violent life with that of the visionary peacemaker Peter Novak Janson`s only hope is to uncover the nearly unimaginable truth behind these events - a truth that has the power to foment wars topple governments and change the very course of history. --> Genre: Thriller Action -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Orion Books Limited The date of this copy is 2003 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Paul Janson Series.
