Eine Agent Null Kurzgeschichte [An Agent Zero Short Story]: Ein Agent Null Spionage-Thriller [An Agent Zero Spy Thriller]

Agent Zero #0.5

by Jack Mars

Eine Agent Null Kurzgeschichte ist eine original Kurzgeschichte. Sie ist eine sehr hörenswert Ergänzung der Nummer 1 Bestseller Agent Null Spionage-Thriller Reihe, die mit Agent Null (Buch Nummer 1) beginnt. Man kann sie ebenfalls als einzelne Geschichte genießen, und sie dient auch als eine wunderbare Einführung für Neulinge in der Welt von Agent Null.

Diese originale Kurzgeschichte versetzt uns zurück in die Vergangenheit und zeigt uns, wie alles begann. In einer atemberaubenden, rasanten Thrillerreise durch Italien, Dänemark, Deutschland und die Schweiz, zeigt uns die Geschichte die Anfänge der Karriere des CIA Agenten Null - und führt uns bis zu dem schicksalhaften Moment, an dem er sein Gedächtnis verlor.

Die Agent Null Spionage-Thriller Serie führt uns auf einen Action-Thriller durch Europa, als der vermeintliche CIA Agent Kent Steele (AKA Agent Null), verfolgt von Terroristen, der CIA und seiner eigenen Identität, das Rätsel um seine Verfolger, um das Zielobjekt der Terroristen und die schöne Frau lösen muss, die er in seinen Gedanken sieht. Kent Steele, 38, ist ein brillanter Professor für europäische Geschichte an der Columbia Universität und genießt ein ruhiges Leben in einem Vorort von New York mit seinen beiden jugendlichen Töchtern. Das alles ändert sich, als es eines Nachts spät an seine Tür klopft und er von drei Terroristen entführt wird. Sie fliegen ihn über den Ozean, um ihn in einem Keller in Paris zu verhören. Sie sind überzeugt, dass Kent der tödlichste Spion ist, den die CIA jemals gesehen hat. Er ist überzeugt, dass sie den falschen Mann haben. Ist dem so? Verschwörung um ihn, Gegenspieler, die genauso intelligent wie er sind, und ein Attentäter auf seinen Fersen sorgen für ein wildes Katz-und-Maus-Spiel, das Kent auf einen lebensgefährlichen Weg leitet - einen, der zurück nach Langley führen könnte? und zu einer schockierenden Entdeckung über seine eigene Identität.

Die Agent Null Serie besteht aus einer Reihe von Spionage-Thrillern, die man einfach nicht aus der Hand legen kann.

Reviews

[Linda Galella · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very brief, very exciting and very engaging.

This is an incredibly short story - about 25 pages that took 15 minutes to read. We are introduced to AGENT ZERO who’s in the midst of a life and death situation. It goes from bad to worse and the resolution, altho’ a bit far fetched, will save lives of many but cost much of his; maybe…probably…?

I’m definitely starting book one immediately; hooked📚

Typical.5 Short story. I’ll give the series a try.

[The Phoenix · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think you have to maybe be a fan of the series to appreciate this. I never read any of them, so this was just.. ehh.

[Ron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sets the scene for first book in the series.

[Dugald Craig]

Great introduction to the excellent Agent Zero series.

Well written and attention holding account of the events which explain Agent Zero’s memory loss of his time as a Special Operative within the CIA. As a fan of the excellent Agent Zero series it is fair to say that much of this content is progressively revealed albeit with less detail as you follow events through the series. While not essential reading it provides a great introduction and contextualisation of his thought processes seen in the future books.

He was Reid Lawson, Agent Kent Steele, Codename Agent Zero for the C. I. A. part of the Special Operations Group, which was part of the Special Activities Division. In other words, he was part of the group that identified bad guys and put them and their network out of business, permanently. Well, he was. He was disavowed. He was disavowed because he went off the reservation and left a trail across Europe of dead bodies. Because Kate Lawson had been murdered while he had been in Europe looking for clues to dismantle an organization called the Fraternity. A member of the Fraternity killed his wife and left their two children motherless. He caught the assassin, and in an epic fight, he opened him from navel to ribcage cutting as deep as the butterfly knife would go. Zero left him there to die. He felt no relief, no satisfaction, and no vindication. Then, on a bridge, a man approached him at night, and it was his old teammate Alan Reidigger. In short, Alan was there to kill Agent Kent Steele but had a plan to let Mr. Reid Lawson live and return to his two daughters.

In this story, this character reminded me of an old paperback series called Mack Bolan, in that it was just him against an army of bad guys. The physical world-building was done well enough so that your imagination could fill in the holes, while the ethereal was self-evident. Which, leads me to the character interaction that was done very well and was here to fill in the character’s background for the series to come.

If you like the hero against the world or at least a clandestine organization, you should try this lunch break read. I give this short story four stars out of five stars.

[James Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the five-star rating system I use:

★★★★★ Great book! Can’t wait to read it again (and I will).
★★★★☆ Good book. I am glad I read this.
★★★☆☆ OK book. Nothing special but not bad.
★★☆☆☆ Not good. Why did I waste my time?
★☆☆☆☆ Lousy. I didn’t finish.

If for whatever reason, I go back and reread a good book, I will change the rating to five-star because I read it again.

Powerful and well written

This story is very well written, with a captivating sequence of events and a driven protagonist that elicited the kind of empathy that creates a meaningful reading experience.

[Kiki_chieuse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un récit qui se déroule en amont de la saga elle-même. J’ai fait le choix de le lire en introduction, histoire de me faire une idée. Les chapitres s'enchaînent avec chacun son lot d’action ou de retournement. Il est évident qu’il faut lire la saga pour comprendre tous les tenants de cette nouvelle. Pour autant, j’ai compris globalement de quoi il retourne. Cet agent Zero m’intrigue, surtout si cette aventure fait office de préquel et non de séquel comme j'ai pu le croire d’emblée.

[MWBoothman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great prequel if you short

It helps out into context what I had already read about in the early Agent Zero books. Rather outlandish storyline but in the modern world of AI and many secret technologies we have yet to learn about , it is not "make believe"

[Maria do Socorro Baptista · Rating 4 out of 5]

Muita ação e muita violência neste texto tão curto, que fala das dúvidas de um agente quanto à sua própria carreira e das necessidades de se reinventar para seguir em frente. Uma boa leitura.
