Retrograde Absolution: Norseman Consulting Book 2

by Spencer Jacobson

With Afghanistan already plunged into chaos during the American withdrawal in 2021, an Afghan intelligence operative, Wrangler, tries desperately to get his family to safety. With the situation growing more and more dire, Wrangler and his family reach out to a private security firm, Norseman Consulting, conducting extraction operations out of Tajikistan. When their first plan goes awry, the operative, his family, and the private security contractors have to adapt to a rapidly deteriorating environment to make their escape from the Taliban. Norseman Consulting faces more threats than the Taliban alone. The firm unexpectedly uncovers a lethal adversary back home, ruthlessly targeting them from the shadows. Will Norseman Consulting’s operatives survive the fall of Afghanistan, only to be taken out at home?

[Joni Jacobson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book even more than his first (Frozen Reaction). Don't miss the introduction which gives so much context. Hang in there through the disturbing first chapter. Knowing this was based on true experiences during the USA's abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan was disheartening, but yet the story captured me.
