A Russian hacker, the sheriff, and a mad scientist walk into a bar…
It sounds like the opening line of a bad joke, but this is Yuri, Bitsy, and Claudia’s life. With Claudia expecting, and the trio nearly caught up on their projects, they consider slowing down. Claudia even thinks about retiring to enjoy motherhood. But when their old friend Sullivan Carter offers them a mission, they reconsider going for one more operation.
Syria's government has changed hands, and they have a chance to seize data, documents, and the WMDs. Assad has fled to Russia, raising concerns about the new regime's intentions. Their mission is to secure the WMDs and proof of financial crimes.
Meanwhile, in Russia, Ilya Gazprojamerk discovers the man who cornered him years ago, and stole his best cyber Yuri Sokolov, AKA George Falcon, also known as 'Boris' and 'Mischa.' The oligarch and agent set out on a collision course, taking their adventures abroad. Ilya tries to take out Yuri's growing family and friends, pitting himself against a man who considers himself a supervillain. Who will out-evil and outwit the other?
Boyd has such a creative mind it sometimes scares me! This book is fast moving and quite suspenseful while at the same time having a light-hearted romp here and there. I am really interested in seeing a continuation of "Special Agent Mischa", to fill in some of the info we are still waiting on, such as what they name the baby (haha). Keep 'em coming Boyd!
The book was a great follow up to the first in this series. I love the characters, plenty of action, and humor. This is one of those books that you read every sentence, and can’t put down. Boyd Craven III is one of my favorite authors and this book/series is his best work so far.
Boyd Craven has developed an wonderful set of characters in these two initial books. There is great humor, love interests, mayhem, political challenges, and imaginative action. Really great and enjoyable reading.
