Tensions rise as an unparalleled new weapon in the world of military tech is about to be unleashed on American soil. Mossad operative Avner Ehrlich is enjoying a much-needed respite from operational activity as an attaché for the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. But wherever Ehrlich goes, trouble tends to follow...

When a cargo of top-secret AI-driven drones disappears mid-flight, Erlich is called back into active duty. Codenamed "Wasps," just one drone's radioactive capabilities make them the ideal weapons of destruction against the global superpower. And twelve of them are now missing. On borrowed time, the Mossad's most daring rule-breaker throws himself into a tangled web of international terrorism stretching from the heart of the American counterintelligence community to the far reaches of the Russian government.

As alliances blur and vendettas become personal, Ehrlich must tread carefully. When anyone could be playing for the wrong side, everyone is an enemy. Gripping and relentless, A Nest of Wasps is a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seats until the final, explosive revelation.

After completing 3 years of military service in an IDF special unit, E.L. Pini went to London, where he studied script writing and took on various jobs employing his unique skill set - bodyguard, bouncer, photographer, and even getaway driver (for which he has yet to suffer consequences). He later found some success as a screenwriter for advertisements and documentaries. These days, Pini likes to spend his free time cooking, listening to operas and rock-crawling with his modified Jeep.The story of Avner Ehrlich, although entirely a work of fiction, contains many elements based on Pini's personal life experience. Before completing a description of a fight or physical altercation, Pini will often get a group of ex-combat fighter friends together to play out the scene from beginning to end, and then uses what he learns to enhance and fine-tune it - perhaps this is why many readers attest that the fast-paced, gripping depictions often feel as if they are watching a movie, rather than reading a book. Both in character design and plot, Pini's books exibit a uniquely modern take on the genre of terror and espionage thriller novels, while at the same time still appealing to lovers of veterans of the genre such as Tom Clancy, Daniel Silva, Brad Thor, Nelson DeMille, Terry Hayes, and David Morrell.
