Legion
Former MI6 agent Alex Jordan hunts his old partner’s murderer and discovers a plan to assassinate the North Korean president and replace the demigod with a brutal, cash-hungry Korean general.
The plot is instigated by rogue Secret Service chief Paul Grady and its success will net the ambitious man carte blanche intelligence rights to all of Asia and the Pacific Rim. He plans to market that intelligence to the highest bidder, including terrorists, while the Korean general consolidates his international drug empire.
As Jordan is pushed to the edge of his endurance, he’s forced to test the loyalty of his close friends and colleagues to the limit—for a few it will inevitably cost them everything.

BJ Kibble is the consummate thriller writer. I've read several of his other works (Dry Rain, Chasing the Wind) and Legion proves to be his strongest, in my opinion. His characters are tough, the action quick, hard, and memorable. Mr. Kibble understands international intelligence as if he's been there, making me wonder if he has. His protagonist is focused, driven, but with a taste of Everyman in him, letting the reader easily insert himself into the picture. And the bad guys...oh my gosh. Their reactions, manipulations, and yes, killings, are just plain wicked! You will NOT be disappointed in Legion. Each page enthralling. Legion is classic Kibble . . . and Kibble is classic thriller.

I’m a big fan of thrillers and Legion ranks up there with my favorites in the genre.
An action packed thrill ride, it is an excellent, fast paced thriller.
It certain was a real pleasure to read a book written by a weapons expert. Nothing is guaranteed to jerk me completely out of a story than gun errors. I read a book by Michael Connelly in which the protagonist, Harry Bosch, could tell that a rifle was an automatic by the imprint of the butt in dust. Uh, not.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend.
