Synopsis

New York Times Bestseller

A weapon of catastrophic destruction. A nation on the brink of unspeakable disaster. And the ultimate enemy lies closer to home than anyone realizes.

Only maverick CIA agent Ryan Kealey sees the threat for what it really is--but Washington refused to listen. With the lives of millions at stake, Kealey has only one option: to take matters into his own hands. And the clock is ticking. . .

Supercharged and fiercely intelligent, The Assassin is an action-packed international thriller where no one can be trusted--and the final aftershocks are felt until the very last page.

Praise For Andrew Britton's
The American

"Brilliantly well-written with plotting sharper than a fence full of razor wire, a sizzling page-turner. . .even Washington insiders will be reading this thriller not once, but twice!" --Brad Thor, USA Today bestselling author of Blowback and Takedown

"A terrifying and gripping journey into the mind of a terrorist." --Stephen Frey, New York Times bestselling author of The Chairman

"Like Tom Clancy. . .a thriller that makes current terrorist threats all too real. . .highly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review)

About this title

About the Author:

After serving in the Army as a combat engineer, Andrew entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is pursuing a double major in economics and psychology.

From AudioFile:

This second thriller from 24-year-old Andrew Britton almost measures up to its predecessor and it's got enough action to keep Christopher Lane very busy. The CIA agent Robin Kealey is up against an old nemesis who was thought to be dead in the final moments of The American, Britton's first novel. While most officials in this story believe the Iranian regime has plans to bomb the UN, Kealey sets out to uncover an even greater catastrophe in the making. Lane's reading of this story is glib and fast paced. His only near failing comes when he reads one of the many Arab characters, whose accent sounds contrived.
