The Auction

by Justin Scott

WHEN A LARGE SUM OF MONEY IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE RANSOM...The message "Your bid is expected at the Pendragon auction. Lancelot." Comptel knew that the world's most phenomenal money marathon had begun. Pendragon was the code name for the most influential and least-known individual in history. A broker who traded empires. A man who held the coveted key to world power. And now he was a hostage. Comptel would be bidding against other multinationals. Sheiks, presidents and generals. Against those who knew that, without Pendragon, nations would topple and empires would fall. Comptel would start the bidding. But the ending of it was Pete Chamberlain's job. His lethal find Pendragon. And find him fast. Only the kidnappers, the Russians, and the CIA stood in his way.

[Jenny Cooper · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good thriller. Not great, but certainly worth a read.
