Intercept
Being in the sights of a former ally was the last thing Black Ops Agent, Blake MacKay expected, but that’s just where he landed.
An intercepted call discloses that the former Iranian nuclear guru, Mohsen Fallali, has come back on the grid to head-up Iran’s new nuclear weapons program. Mossad has to act fast and sends Solomon Zinn, an elite sniper, to take him out. However, the Ansar al-Sharia militant group wants Fallahi for their own purposes and will stop at nothing to get him.
Aware of the two groups after Fallahi, Blake is sent to Vienna to capture him before Mossad or Ansar al-Sharia can carry out their plans. When Blake discovers that his Mossad adversary is a former lover, he must devise the ultimate deception to complete his mission.
When the three competing forces descend on Vienna, all hell breaks out in this thrilling spy novella.

About the author
Thom Tate
9 books5 followersThom Tate writes spy thrillers that hit with the force of blockbuster action films—fast‑paced, immersive, and charged with high‑stakes tension. His stories drop readers straight into covert missions, shadow operations, and global conspiracies where every choice matters and danger is always one breath away.
His expanding catalog includes the gripping novella Intercept and full‑length thrillers such as The Auroral Contingency, Spear Garden, and Beyond All Measure. Across every title, Thom has carved out a signature space in the genre by doing what he does best: putting readers in the boots of operatives who work in the shadows and fight for survival on the world’s most volatile frontlines.
Cinematic, visceral, and character‑driven, his writing has earned praise for making readers feel as if they’re not just observing the mission—they’re part of it. His Covert World series, originally launched with Czechmate, Meltdown, and The 4th Strike, is currently being reimagined and united into a high‑octane prequel novel: Who Is Blake MacKay, releasing in early 2026.
Thom may not come from a military background, but his dedication to research, realism, and craft brings authenticity to every page. He writes with the precision of a tactician and the heart of a storyteller, delivering thrillers that resonate long after the final shot is fired.

A Fun First Read!
This is my first time reading Thom Tate and, I have to say, I'm glad that I gave this novella a try. It's a good mix of literary writing and pulpy fun. I picked up this novella after winning his first 2 novels and I'm definitely moving them up on my TBR!
